Thoughts on new Sire F10 DC?

[scubaduba]

Wow! Sire seems to be upping the game again. I like the look of the new double cut F10 with walnut top. I don't like the 35" scale, or at least I don't think I do. Unless it plays like a Lakland which doesn't feel like 35" scale to me (looking at you Spector).

Anybody happened to get their hands on one of these? They seem to be hitting stores now. I prefer the pickup configuration on the 6 strings with the tappable dual coil soapbars over the P/J of the 5 string. But I'm certainly open minded.

Thoughts?

I didn't like the original singlecut F10 that came out a year or two ago, but I think the double cut you posted and the F10dx singlecut look great. If they ever do the F10dx with a narrower string spacing and shorter scale length, a la Matt Garrison/Janek Gwizdala, I would be first in line for one.

I’m with you.

PJ doesn’t look right.
35 scale doesn’t feel right.
They are most likely 10 plus pounders.

Hard pass for me. Sometimes it’s hard to accept the knock off substitute when you have and are completely satisfied with the real deal .

It might look like , but I doubt if it plays like and sounds like the real deal.

Now if all of that doesn’t matter to you, you might enjoy it. Some people prefer 35 scale, more weight, and will be happy with the sound.
