Premium Tonewoods & Exceptional Comfort

Built around a lightweight swamp ash body, the V8 produces punchy mids, deep lows and crisp high-end detail with excellent clarity and articulation. The premium roasted hard rock maple neck and fretboard provide enhanced stability and resonance, while Sire's signature Edgeless™ rolled fretboard edges create a smooth, broken-in feel that's incredibly comfortable during long playing sessions.
