I have a few SX guitars, 2 teles (1 nashville SSS, 1 nat ash body), 2 strats (1 SST LTD2 ash, other w/ P90s), a SEG1, and a SJM62. Personally, I fell in love w/ the SX necks…. better than many name brand necks IMHO. I usually replace the tuners and install a TUSQ nut and dress any offending frets (minimal – btw noticed that fret dressing seems to be improving @ the factory – hardly had to do anything to the latest acquisitions). I replaced some stock pups w/ GFS pups, but over all the P90′s R great stock. w/ the trems set up properly, new tuners and a slippery nut, I have NO tuning problems whatsoever – plays like butter!! Thanks Kurt!!

I am looking for a decent quality 1/2 size electric guitar for my 3 year old who LOVES guitars. I have found some decent reviews of the SX 1/2 size strat copy. Have any of you played one, and am I better off getting him the SX or an Epiphone PeeWee? (Squire Mini is still too large).

SX guitars R AWESOME! I own 4 of them – each is amazing. The best part of SX axes R the necks!

hi kyle….know what you mean. been playing, owning guitars for 30yrs. ive had ibanez artists, les paul copies etc. currently play and own an american strat from 70s and bought recently the fender squier classic vibe custom tele which is beautifully made and plays beautifully. By chance i happened to see in a music store an SX tele vintage series/handmade. its the butterscotch body…maple neck and fingerboard. weird thing is that it costs a quarter of the classic vibe yet looks feels and sounds not much different. frets need to be dressed though as there are a few buzzes here and there…yet its an incredible guitar and never thought i would play one or any so called no name brand. im so impressed that im looking for another sx tele second hand. as you said these are better than a lot of the mex guitars or even the cheap squier fenders.

Hi Guys,
I just finished teaching for the day and a guy walked into the shop with an exceptionally nice SX Tele. I do approx 60 lessons a week in Geraldton West Oz and have gigged on and of all my adult life, and I usually would not even consider an SX a REAL guitar.
Now, I play an 86 Kramer Pacer (Relic with a scalloped Tele neck) a 2002 Fender Strat and a Mexican Tele and I just could not believe that this thing was an SX.
This guy had fitted all American hardware, pickups (I don’t know what they are) Reshaped the headstock almost like a real Tele, rebadged it with his name Carrier and called it Creatacaster.
He had dressed all the frets immaculately and has the strings through the body.
He also fitted a home made 5 ply pickgaurd true to the Tele shape and the whole thing is aged relic style.
Now not just a quick scratch up, I mean this thing actually looks and feels like my old bandmates 68 Fender Tele.
No Shit, I was so impressed I walked back into the shop from the carpark and plugged it into a little Ibanez combo and I could not believe it sounded as good as it looked and played perfectly with nice low action.
This guitar looks weighs, feels, plays and sounds like the real thing.
It is way better than my stock Mex Tele and better than the last American Teli I owned several years ago.
I offerd him my Mex for it on the spot but he was not interested but he did say he would sell it for a grand AU.
All up it has cost him about $500 Au to build but he would have had to put at least a solid weeks work into it over about a month.
I am seriously interested in buying this guitar and will be advertising my Fender Tele at the college and shop where I teach.
I never thought I would say it but I think I might buy an SX.
But as I said to him as we left the shop.
“That is no longer an SX it is a really nice custom Tele with a very authentic sound and feel”
I love this particular SX.
I have just got home and decided to look up SX guitars and find out a bit more about them and stumbled onto this blog.
I am still in shock and awe over the quality of this particular guitar.
Sea Ya.

I just bought a deminos, and the body on one side of the neck is a qourter inch shorter than the other side, leaving a gap between the neck and body on the north side, which makes the g string ring baddly…For such a nice lookin guitar it sure is junk. i think i will keep the neck tho for a sg project (nicest neck i have ever held in my hands) to bad the chianese could not have kept a eye on the router depth.
