Within the S series, the S3 HSS New Gen embodies Sire?s DNA: ergonomics designed for long playing sessions, exemplary tuning stability, and reliable construction. The 4-bolt neck plate ensures rigidity and stable setup, while the modern Sire tremolo offers expressive nuances without sacrificing intonation. It?s a solid foundation for progressing, rehearsing, and recording.
Designed for beginner to intermediate guitarists, it easily covers punchy funk, energetic pop/rock, expressive blues, and indie styles. The 25.5" / 648 mm scale length and 9.5" / 241 mm radius promote smooth playing, while the medium jumbo frets aid bends and precise rhythm playing, whether in a home studio or rehearsal room.
The two single coils deliver a clear twang, bright cleans, and the typical "quack" in the intermediate positions. The bridge humbucker adds output and thickness for leads and crunchy tones. The wood combination ? mahogany (body) for warmth, maple (neck) for attack, rosewood (fingerboard) to smooth the highs ? balances warmth, definition, and sustain. The Volume/Tone controls and 5-position selector offer a wide palette, from punchy riffs to singing solos.
Choose electric strings in 9-42 gauge (flexibility) or 10-46 (attack and tuning stability), a comfortable strap, an electric guitar capo, a reliable 6.35 mm jack cable, and universal locking strap buttons to secure the instrument on stage.
