Q3: Sire's Vision of the Contemporary Double Cutaway
Entry model of the Q series, the Sire Q3 condenses the brand?s modern DNA: clean lines, refined ergonomics, and light weight. This "Vintage Cherry" version stands as a versatile and reliable electric guitar, designed to accompany the guitarist?s evolution without sacrificing character.
Who Is the Q3 For and Which Styles?
Perfect for ambitious beginners to intermediate musicians seeking an expressive and easy-to-set-up guitar. Its H-H coil-splitting configuration easily covers pop, rock, blues, indie, and light funk, while handling higher gain levels without unwanted noise.
Sound
Mahogany and the set neck provide dense mids, a soft attack, and natural sustain. The LC Standard humbuckers deliver full and quiet sounds in humbucking mode; the push-pull unlocks single-coil-like textures for arpeggios, funky rhythm, and vintage crunch. With its 25" / 635 mm scale length, string tension remains moderate, ideal for bending and melodic playing.
