"THE BOTTOM LINE...Tregan's Syren guitars are some of the better playing and visually inspiring guitars available at a reasonable price. The Standard model is a tremendous value for the traditionalist who wants to play anything from country to hard rock, chiefly offering a sensual midrange voice. If angering the metal gods, and the neighbors, suits your style, you might want to opt for the double-locking tremolo and active/passive electronics in the Signature Syren."
-Guitar World's Eric Kirkland takes a look at the Syren Series Guitars.
Check out what Paul Riario has to say about the Syren Series in the video review:
"With its noticeable mids, the Syren’s tone indeed cuts through the mix.
Its ability to impersonate a Strat is an added bonus that can be quite handy. The Syren looks cool and plays well with its different but fast neck.
It will definitely command some attention on stage."
-Guitar Edge's Pat Smith takes a look at the Syren Standard.
"The Standard and Signature Tregans sounded similar, with a few subtle differences.
The Signature seemed to have a more blooming low-mid voice and more texture and detail across the midrange frequency spectrum.
The Standard was a bit thinner, with a more cutting and assertive personality. Each offered a solid variety of supportive and compelling tones.
With the P-pickup soloed, the basses were thick and aggressive with the tone full up, and dark and brooding with the tone rolled off.
The soloed-J tone was punchy and nasal, but with a nice top-end sweetness, particularly with the tone rolled-off halfway.
Blending the pickups made for a versatile sound with slightly hollow mids, a controlled bottom, and a not-too-brittle treble response—
a great tone for slap.
I can happily recommend the Tregans to anyone looking for a solid-sounding, wellbuilt bass that falls well outside the cookiecutter mold.

-Bass Player's Jonathan Herrera takes a look at the Shaman Series Basses.
"Overall, the Syrens are fab guitars for the money. They sound good and play well,
and if you really want to turn heads while you’re doing your rock-star moves on the bandstand, these babies will do their part to
pull a few eyes your way."
-Guitar Player's Mike Molenda takes a look at the Syren Series guitars.
"The Shaman definitely puts out the kind of quality, set-neck vibe that makes you feel good about digging in,
with a great setup and even playability all over the neck."

"I can honestly say, I have never liked a neck more than the Shaman's, I can't put it down.
You have done an EXCELLENT job providing value."
--Greg A. from NY – owner of a Shaman Standard
"I love the way this plays. It's got a fast neck. I have a new favorite guitar now! Keep em coming!"
--Jeff from PA - owner of a Shaman Standard
"I love playing this guitar. It's one of the easiest guitars to play I've ever owned."
--Rob C. from PA - owner of a Syren Signature
"...Just wanted to drop you a line and let you know that I love the Tregan bass...
I played it last night in Prescott and it sounded fantastic through my rig. It actually complements
the Ampeg head that I have very nicely; It's got a fuller tone than my (other bass) and overdrives a little less,
which is good because the low E has more power.
The only thing that I was worried about (that the lacquer finish on the neck would get sticky as I sweat) turned out to be not an issue.
It plays very easily; probably even easier than my other bass, which I paid more for."
--Sean. from AZ - owner of a Shaman Bass Signature I
