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.

The GOC quality feels like a step up from the Hils. Fretwork was flawless on the GOC. ... I would say the GOC feels like a 1500-2000 dollar guitar
I think im going to get a goc next
if you can stretch your budget a bit, go for a 7 or an 8 string GOC, as the 7-string HILS is already about $800. They're on par or even superior to my Strandbergs.
GOC best quality for price
Beast, those new bridges are so much better too
