The standard LC humbucker pickup set (H-H) includes two humbuckers designed to deliver warm, powerful tones with reduced noise, ensuring a clear and clean sound for versatile playing. Humbucker configurations like H-H minimize unwanted hum, making them ideal for high-gain setups and dynamic performances.

Equipped with a 3-way switch, volume and tone controls with a push/pull coil split function, this setup allows players to effortlessly switch between the full humbucker power and single-coil brightness, offering a wide range of tonal options to suit any style.

Series Q

The Sire Q series offers modern, lightweight, and ergonomic guitars designed for comfort and versatility. The Q3 features a mahogany body, while the Q7 adds a flame maple top. Both share a roasted maple neck, ebony or palisander fingerboard, and HH pickup configuration with coil-split option, providing a broad spectrum of tones from clear and defined to high-gain sounds.

The differences between models focus on finishes and hardware details, maintaining the same core specifications. This series is aimed at guitarists who prioritize modern feel, fast response, and solid quality within an accessible range.
