Sire GB5-4

[Frank Blank]

Hmmm, needs a set up (nothing drastic, action is a bit high, fret ends need smoothing down) but otherwise I can't find a fault. Perfect service/delivery from Andertons/DHL, I shall let you know how it is after a visit to Guitar Technical Services...

From the many reports on BC, Sire fret ends are normally as smooth as silk. Plainly, this is not always the case  .

Yes. It seems to be an issue with these particularly, I was expecting it.

Perhaps these Godin-alikes come from a different factory. However, at at least £1k less than an actual Godin, it's a small price to pay.

Having had a Godin A4 I shall be doing a direct comparison once it’s set up. It’s certainly several tonnes lighter.

Has it got preamp and tuner built in?
