Great review and video

[toneslingercliff]

Nope. first I've heard of that one but I gotta check it out now! :)

[oldchilltortoise]

hey man where did you get the sx with the tele headstock? i cant find any

[toneslingercliff]

they are sold by rondomusic

[Enforcer010]

would you say this is equal to a normal fender tele?

[toneslingercliff]

tone wise I would say yea. Feel? hmmm maybe with a change in neck setup probably.

[ROCKSTARCRANE]

Dude, some of us would actually like to hear a CLEAN sound. Can't really tell much about the pups from all that distortion...

[mw13068]

@ROCKSTARCRANE I agree. I didn't hear a pickup demo in this video. I heard a distortion demo.

Is this worth getting shipped from America to England? It would cost like $200 but this is only about £120 (very cheap for a guitar in England) I just love the look of these

[ltbproductionz]

Whoa nice! I have hip hop samples too check it out!

[Hoopermazing]

The necks on those SX guitar are so freaking flat. Little metal bastards might like that on their pointy whammy-bar specials, but it has no place on a Tele.

@zer0dahero You're right there's nothing wrong with doing it naturally, but I'm pretty sure these guitars were finished with many coats of Poly or cheaper paint, therefore they won't relic naturally. So, instead of refinishing it, he wants to relic it. I don't know why you have a problem with that? Its not your guitar. He bought a budget friendly guitar and if he likes the look of it all beat up, then why do you care? You're not going to change anyone's mind about it.

[TrevorGNF]

@zer0dahero Okay, the point is this and simply this. This guy obviously wants his guitar to look old. He probably doesn't own an old guitar and considering he bought an SX I'd say he doesn't want to spend the money on an old one. And just so you know, old guitars that you see the Fender Custom Shop or whoever copy and relic or guitars that have relic'd naturally are finished with Nitro Lacquer. Today barely any guitars are finished with that especially under $500.

toneslingercliff@ what body of this sx guitar is?i was searching and it issolid alder ans some are ash what is better?what is your?

[zer0dahero]

And... there is nothing wrong with relicing your guitar the good old fashioned way. By playing it until you wear it out. Any other way is lazy. In case you aren't aware, and you clearly aren't, calling some one a dumb ass is lashing out. Maybe you are the type of person whos so coarse that you offend and lash out at people and not know your doing it.

[zer0dahero]

@TrevorGNF the custom shop relics guitars for profit, not because they feel its a good thing. They charge $6k for a $3k guitar only cause they damaged it. As long as dumb people pay, they will build. Imagine buying a wrecked car just cause it cost more momey? How dumb is that? Have you ever had the pleasure of owning a guitar so long that you dinged it and have worn and cratched the finish to the wood? Or you would just pay for a damaged one out of inability to play or lazyness?

[TrevorGNF]

@zer0dahero Its like this.. I wasn't lashing out, but why do you and everyone else have to say things like "don't relic your guitar, thats stupid"? Its not your guitar, you're not the only playing it. Some people like the look of old guitars, but aren't lucky enough to have one. And modern finishes on guitars (poly-based) don't relic by themselves... at all for that matter. Its just a hobby. And I just think its unnecessary to post comments like that, good sir.
