Positioned at the heart of the S series, the S3 HSS New Gen embraces the codes of the modern S-Style while adding Sire?s manufacturing precision. Reliable construction (4-screw neck plate), robust hardware, and clean finishes: everything is designed for a durable instrument, easy to set up and ready to accompany hours of rehearsal and stage performance.
Ideal for progressing guitarists up to intermediate level, it shines in blues, funk, pop, rock, and fusion. Home studios as well as small stages will appreciate its ease of play, balanced weight, and ability to cover punchy rhythm, clean arpeggios, and compressed solos without changing guitars.
The Indonesian mahogany body highlights singing mids and natural sustain, while the maple neck adds attack and the rosewood softens the highs. The HSS configuration offers a balanced mix of power and clarity: the bridge humbucker concentrates the grain for saturated tones and precise leads, the single coils deliver a crystalline "snap" ideal for cleans and funky rhythms. The 5-position selector provides typical S-Style intermediate nuances, and the modern Sire vibrato adds controlled expressiveness without compromising tuning stability.
Electric guitar string sets 9?42 (comfort and brightness) or 10?46 (fuller attack), non-slip strap, compact capo for electric guitar, quality 6.35 mm instrument jack cable, and stable guitar stand. These essentials optimize comfort, reliability, and longevity in daily use.
