Born to meet the demands of contemporary rock, the Sire Y5 embodies the brand?s modern approach: refined ergonomics, full access to all 24 frets, and reliable components designed to handle rehearsals, home studio sessions, and live gigs. Within the range, it represents the accessible "rock/metal" side, with no compromises on playability or tuning stability.
Ideal for intermediate to advanced players ? and ambitious beginners aiming to progress quickly ? the Y5 thrives in rock, metal, hard rock, metalcore, or prog. Its articulation remains convincing on clean sounds, delivering bright arpeggios, modulated pads, and ambient textures. The 25.5" / 648 mm scale length provides the right tension for standard tuning or half-step down.
The alder body offers pronounced mids, firm lows, and controlled highs, perfect for cutting through the mix without harshness. The LC humbuckers deliver precise attack, tight palm mutes, and singing leads. The 5-way selector broadens the usable tonal palette, while the combination of maple neck and rosewood fingerboard balances snap and warmth. The hardtail bridge maximizes sustain and stability, and the 12"-16" compound radius promotes low action with smooth bending on the higher frets.
09-42 string set (versatility) or 10-46 (enhanced attack and tuning stability), adjustable standard strap, 6.35 mm straight or angled jack cable, A-frame stand for solid-body guitars, adjustable capo suited for 12"-16" radius, maintenance oil for rosewood fingerboard.
