X6 Headless: Sire?s Modern Vision in an Extended Format
With the "X" series, Sire emphasizes ergonomics and performance. The X6 Headless 7-string follows this credo: a mahogany body topped with a maple top for responsiveness, a sober Black Satin finish, and a platform designed for current techniques (fast picking, tight palm mutes, wide intervals).
For Which Musician and Styles?
Designed for intermediate to advanced guitarists who want an effective 7-string without hassle. It excels in metal, djent, and progressive styles, while remaining credible in modern rock and fusion thanks to its five immediately usable voicings.
Sound
Mahogany delivers full low-mids and a solid grain, while maple provides attack and definition. The LC 7-string humbuckers offer a solid output level with excellent clarity, even on complex voicings or low tunings. The 5-position selector expands the palette from airy cleans to tight rhythms. The headless tremolo concentrates mass at the bridge, promoting stability and even sustain. Scale length 25.5" / 648 mm for crisp tension and precise intonation.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
Sets of 7-string electric guitar strings in nickel (common gauges 09?54 or 10?59 depending on tuning), comfortable standard strap, and quality straight or angled jack cable. The dedicated Sire gig bag is included.
