    The only issue is the long wait to actually get one...

    I agree with you 100% on this one. I went ahead and purchased this same Sire L7 to add to the collection and I have to say, It's probably the best deal I made in a long time. It plays great, the quailty of it overall is very impressing and I like others I love the neck. I highly recommend it. I just don't understand how they keep the price as low as they do, but it feels, and sounds like it could cost up to 3 times more.

    Personally purchased two SIRE'S in the past week. One S7 and one H7. The S7 is a killer guitar with tone galore. The H7 is a solid white guitar with two humbuckers. Great looking guitar with body moldings that set off the white (color). Very LUCKY to get the ONLY two SIRE'S in stock at Sweetwater. Numerous guitars currently on-order. Sweetwater sells them as fast as they get them.

      @@jl_woodworks Well, Indonesia is surely not a paradise for shift workers. OTOH I guess that Sire has a lot of automation involved in the manufacturing process. So the prices are the result of a mix of mass production, automation and low worker's salaries. And Sire doesn't spend big money on advertising, but maybe a bit more on quality control.
