Sire P90 les paul

Nice guitar, I'll give you short evaluation for different parts:

Visuals/finish - 9.5/10
Fret job - 8.5/10 (some frets were quite high, even misaligned with board but managed to get decent action (base 1.5, trebel 1.25, however, still few fret buzz on few frets)
Hardware - 10/10
Electronics - 9/10 - pickups sound good, but I am scratching my head with no treble bleed or 50's wiring as this would add only a few EUR to the cost. If you turn the volume down - pickups go muddy, so my next mod is treble bleed as this guitar is for a more cleanish tone in MHO.

I am mostly satisfied with this guitar. The only thing that put me off was no treble bleed. Surprisingly, even with some reviews on L7 with humbuckers there are reviews with this feature included and not, so maybe I am not a lucky one :)

Update: installed treble bleed (a 150K-ohm 1/4-watt resistor (1% tolerance) in parallel with a .001uF capacitor). Cost 4 EUR, not counting labor as I did it myself.
Now this guitar is what I wanted - sounds amazing and is super versatile from nasty distortions to bell-like cleans and still with the unique sound signature of P90.

Great value

I play a Stratocaster which I like but wanted a Gibson-type guitar for a bit of crunch on heavier numbers. Unfortunately I don’t earn enough from music to justify the cost of one with that name on it. I saw very good reviews of Sire guitars on YouTube and the price was right, so I bought one.
Delivered very quickly by Thomann, arrived in perfect condition. So far I’m very pleased with it. It’s not as heavy as the Les Paul I borrowed once for a gig and was very pleased to take off after. It looks and feels very well made. The P90 pickups are powerful and clear. The neck is comfortable and I like the finish. The frets seem deeper than I’m used to which seems to make string bending easier. The locking tuners, first time I’ve had them, make string-changing so much easier.
One thing that makes a difference to me bu maybe not others is the headstock and logo which are attractive but subtle, and don’t shout out “I’m not a Gibson” like an Epiphone, for example, does.
I’ll be using it for the first time at a gig next week. Looking forward to that.

On par with the best

Sounds amazing, plays amazing. The pickups don't even need to be changed. The finish was done a bit sloppy on a small part of the neck joint, but the guitar itself is, quality wise, on par with the best epiphones or gibson Les Paul guitars i played. Would reccomend it.
