I’ve heard the Sire X6 trem to be stable from two reviews by now.
I play my x6 more than my axis and Lespaul supreme…. It holds tune really well though. Overall quality is incredible. Fretwork is excellent. No issues with the nut. Stock pickups are surprisingly pretty good. Only QC issue I found was the side dots are a bit sloppy in terms of edge finish
X6 is a pretty unique guitar, since: - multiscale - tremolo - under $1k … simply doesn’t give you any other contenders.
Parent context: Not for small hands i guess. Ibanez Q 52 or Ichi 10 for smaller hands Reply: Why wouldn’t it be for small hands? The neck on this I think is thinner than the Q series. I had that as well but it’s been a minute. I’m pretty sure this is smaller.
Just got this sire x6 yesterday. 5.6 lbs on this one. Swapped to my normal 9-46 strings, lubricated the contact points and its rock solid even with vai and satch tunes. Nice low action at 1-1.25mm without buzzing, perfect fret ends, stock pickups surprisingly good, side dots could be finished a bit better but no other flaws. Blown away. I’ve had several vaders, steinberger, and strandberg and I enjoy this one the most.

I always liked the SG more than the LP.
Congrats man and great first choice I love my SG. Amazing guitar
Great choice! You can’t do much better than an SG.
Insanely good pick, if you were to have one electric, this should be it.
Much stronger than it ever was. Great job.
