Elmo you didn't notice the beefier neck, the flatter radius, fully coated fretboard and jumbo frets! To me the finish of the neck and fretboard is the best part, it feels like a way more expensive guitar in this regard,. I got three of this specific model. Cheers!
I have an SX Strat that was Ella’s before I met her and my 2005 American Strat I use the SX the most as it sounds better but it now has fender pick ups
I've owned an SX es335 copy (GG5 I think) for about 15 years now. The hardware, electronics and pickups were junk but the wood and construction surprisingly nice. After upgrades it's been a very enjoyable guitar. SX loves those big frets because this has them as well.

In the 80ies I got an original Fender P Bass. For 800.I was happy with this Bass. Palisander Fretboard, standard sunburst look. The seller said it was 20 years old. So far, so good. With one Amp the deep G was always louder than the other the notes I played. I tried other PUs. The result wasn't satisfiend. Well, as time goes by I purchased a double bass. Wow. The big one. I sold the P Bass and the amp. So far so good I could play in a Country Band. I got a SX P Bass for 300. this SXbass sounded (and sounds still) far better as the original Fender P Bass in the 80ies. Some time later I got another SX bass, a Sting Ray copy. For 300. With active electronics, with very good woods. Excellent handling, excellent sounds. The P Bass got a Seymour Duncan PU, and I had Avery great tone. So far to SX instruments.
I have a couple of SX VTG series 32" scale basses and I agree with you about the instrument itself being solid - good neck, decent frets, okay electronics for the price, etc. On the basses I put good tuners on them, strap locks, a quick fret end dressing, and a good setup and they are surprisingly good. Thank you for reviewing this S-Type SSS configured rocker.
I have an SX, bought it on a whim, too arthritic to learn to play it. I have had it for 5 yrs, the finish is very good, has a rosewood fret board, has stayed in my basement (heated and cooled) no tarnish on the chrome. Several years ago the one with a gold looking trim, it was beutaful, they quit selling it because it tarnished quickly so I think they are concerned about quality. No mechanical issues
I own the tele model (ash same wood), it's gorgeous and became my n°1 guitar. Great quality woods, great neck, great feel. Even the pickups sounds really ok. SX is what china does the best in budget guitar/bass to my opinion.
Thanks for the review. I saw one of these today and liked it a lot. It would be my first electric, I have a nice acoustic and am still quite the beginner. Decisions decisions.
That guitars are so amazing! With money you can upgrade and get a nice guitar, much better than Squier guitars for example. For the money this is GREAT.
I have one with alder body modified with brazilian botique pickups, gotoh tuners for 12 years now and it sound amazing. The best begginer guitar you can buy.
I have a Tele thinline and a Strat by SX and they're both great guitars. I upgreaded both of them with Wilkinson pickups, but other than that, they're pretty much the same as they came from the factory. I'm very happy with the price-quality of SX, they're really great guitars.
For a beginner. I think this is a good starter guitar. All guitars when new need to be broken in and tweeked a little bit to get them sounding good. This one looks really nice! Thanks Elmo! 😃🎸👍
Something I would like to see as a different approach to reviewing guitars is to review them without regard for price. Is a guitar great, very good, average, below average or lousy? Obviously people are concerned with the price and the price can be stated at the end. I really like Elmos reviews because he doesn't sugar coat what something is
@@rgerwin.3378 His statement was an honest one . What about his statement had any inclination of being an overly cautious person in regards to mask wearing in a vehicle?
I love all 5 of my SX Strats. And all 4 of my SX Teles... And all 3 of my SX Les Pauls... (Hawks, Furrians, and Callistos.) I even have an SX Liquid. Love your playing, dude.
I love SX electrics. I have 6 different ones. 4 Strats and 2 Liquid. I'm waiting patiently for them to restock Strats. I love Jumbo frets. The P90s in the Liquids are great, the pups in the Strats and Tele were the weakness and all I upgraded.
always a great review Elmo, keep them coming ;) (btw are you related to the bear man Karjalainen from Finland ? saw his story yesterday and figured, this guy has a difficult to pronounce name, might be a relative to Elmo) cheers ;)
Not so long ago, a very, very wise and bright man used to open all his videos with the line "lets find out". Unfortunately, he ended up banned from the platform.
Great video Elmo! Love this guitar! It would be a great guitar for a beginner to build upon if they want to make upgrades. That weird binding around the neck adds an odd touch of elegance too. 🔥🎸🤘😁🤘🎸🔥
Hey Elmo, that’s a pretty cool looking guitar for the money! Unrelated question here, but can you recommend a good budget 1x12 cab for my Orange Micro Dark head? I got a nice one used, but am still shopping for a cab and I saw the head on your recommended gear list. Thanks!
I bought a Douglas shadow pro from Rondo music. It's a Les Paul copy. My wife several years later bought me a Gibson Les Paul tribute. I swapped out the crappy pickups in the Douglas with P90's ( humbuckers size). The Douglas is superior to my Gibson in every way. Except for resale value of course. Cheers.
Ive owned 3 of these. All the hardware is rubbish, but the wood construction and finish is quite good. I have a sunburst that "sings" the way my Fender strat does not. These things are keeper guitars worth upgrading.
Thanks for the review🥂 I would like to ask you, what would you said: this Strato SX or a GL Legacy (Taiwan), there's a price difference but not THAT much. You have a point of view about it? Again thanks, and.. subscribed📌
Hey Elmo good video as always. I really like the look of that guitar and the fact that its maple fretboard too. Looks like a decent guitar and or platform for upgrades. I dont see the link to sx? im wondering about the price. If you said the price i apologize . Thanks for the video . Take care
For the money you can't go wrong, minor upgrades, pot's switches, for under £200 not bad, good thing there is loads of decent aftermarket parts like Wilkinson, Tonerider, and Iron Gear, that can make that a killer strat,
It is based on 70's fender strats, that's why the three screws neck joint and the neck binding that fender had for a short runin that period. Erick Jhonson has a signature model with neck binding by the way but with rosewood fretboard so it looks nicer.
hi. you like stratocaster guitars. do u have an opinion about the EOB stratocaster, with sustainer, made in Mexico? does it worth its price ? thx a lot
Maybe u know the youtube channel "the guitaristas" , he is specialist about Gibson and Les Paul.... he makes great reviews. You are the Fender stratocaster specialist ,your reviews are great too. A pleasure to listen to ur analysis and your playing.
Hi Elmo, do you restring the guitars before review? Cheap factory strings are usually so bad you can stretch them until they break, but will never stay stable.
I owned the same guitar, it wasn`t so good. The most strange thing was the uneven surface under the tremolo. The truss rod was installed incorrectly, so this led to difficulties in neck adjustment. But, nevertheless, I nave SX alder tele whith one piece maple neck, and this thing is perfect in every way, except the pickups. I put poper ones, and now I have almost real tele with all the twang and chime etc
😊 my SX vintage stratocaster looks different than that my vintage neck is different maple my SX is left handed like all my guitars I like my SX stratocaster better than my fender SX has ALOT more power than my fender I have nine guitars all made left handed I sing and play mainly chords I know instrumental lead I don't use over drive or fuzz my SX doesn't go out of tune I know how to fix them to I been singing and playing over 50 years my friend
Great video👍 but in my opinion as long there are used fender mim at the same price with big trem block and other quality features made by fender not really good reason to buy this kind of strat copy out of the box
In my opinion SX is a hit or miss. The wood they use is top quality- I have a vintage SX strat which is okay, but not great, but I also have a PJ bass which has many frets lifted... and also I had to replace the pickup on it because it had so low output.
It looks indeed very nice. The body is not the most amazing piece of wood I have ever seen but still it would be a shame to hide it under paint. You see it a bit more these days even in the budget segment, which is nice.
Another inexpensive Chinese made Stratocaster knockoff. What's with the American flag on the thing? If it is sold in Europe, why not the round star thing? It's a bigger market. Their website shows they are based in China. Why not the Chinese flag? Why not one of those Nordic flags with the crosses? Maybe the Maple Leaf for a Maple guitar. Oh well. It looks like a decent product. Elmo's playing of the William Tell overture (Lone Ranger thing) sounded good on it. It does indeed look very nice. Good guitar to play in the long days of Spring sunshine.✌
@@daniellarson3068 I think that's just a sticker. It says "American Swamp Ash", would be silly to put that on a Finnish flag 😁 Edit: If you look at the guitar on the website, it is shown without the flag.
Thanks for the review, Elmo. My only problem is that I can't find the link you promised on the video to buy this beauty. Can you post it? Or am I just too blind to find it?
The pickups could well be ok, but I'll tell ya ...The "Aftermarket" Chinese pickups are phenomenal.. I Compared some replica Fender CS 69s with the real deal and I couldn't hear a difference.. So boutique quality for sure .
Hi Elmo! Nice review, as always! I have been interested in an SX Tele, would love to see a review on one from you one day. Just wondering, did you order directly from their website? It seems that their guitars are a bit difficult to buy.. yeay, and as you say, the website doesn't say much... Cheers, take care!
@@MrPolevaulter i have 1 same brand slightly different model maybe : customsx handmade standard edition mine is made in korea, i find it heavy .The pick ups aint great.need to up grade mine.
My first electric was an sx, honestly for a beginner it was good, it played alright and has a pretty decent neck shape however the electronics are shit and hardware is garbage, probably great mod platforms though
The omission of bridge+middle pickup configuration is an absolute deal breaker for me but nevertheless if I buy one I will take that stock crap out and get a Genuine Fender loaded pickguard because the stock pickups sound cheap af to me.
every price has a reason. Cheap is not cheap because it is good but because it is bad. I know this from my own experience because I never had money for an expensive guitar but I bought cheap ones and never enjoyed the tone of the guitar. And the beauty of the guitar is not important at all. the sound and fine finish are important, and cheap guitars don't have that. Now I have Eko s300 beauty cheap 155€ guitar but with terrible sound. 😣
Thats a very entry level guitar as you said, your changed your playing up which good on a few levels as you did it on a pretty crappy guitar. Are you a dedicated gear review channel ? If not you should learn the intro to say G.O.A.T. by Polyphia I think they are called .You have more than the skills to learn it, this Tim Henson kid is very talented but its mathematical music which I find soulless the drummer is the star if you ask me, nevertheless if you put up a vid saying " I learnt G.O..A.T. " just the initial guitar intro so you dont get in trouble with UA-cam you will get a ton of views & more subscribers , younger players adore this kid & the guitar sound is this slightly overdriven but very clean which is the way guitar is heading ( guitar without tons of overdrive ? thats not for me, if I want to play clean I will but having it as your lead guitar tone.... hahahah thats not metal or R&R its prog ) they wear high necked thick jumpers no matter what the wether & cross their legs when they sit to play & have an arrogant air to them. Bending ? thats for boomers... look I am generalising & ranting but This Took me 3 days to learn, thats a long time for me so there are some difficult parts at the start in particular .Getting back to my initial point if you learnt this & played just the intro your numbers will clime no doubt ,& this is the point of having a channel, to reach as many people as possible & you'll have a new audience to teach how guitar is meant to sound & be played . Have a listen if you haven't already & see what you think & as always Take care.
@@MrPolevaulter Yeah I thought it was also very clinical but thats where guitar is heading sadly ,what he does is quite hard to learn though. I just was just thinking of building your channel . Take Care
Sx make great guitars. The best thing you can do with that one is to remove that ridiculous sticker from the pickguard. There's nothing worse than seing that insignia plastered all over everything u.s. (".)

SX was a lesser brand from Agile at one point and now is owned by Guitar Fetish. they are pretty nice guitars!
SX is sold through rondo in house brand
You should check out Sire guitars. Doesn't get much better for the price
Been thinking of trying one.
It looks very similar to the 1970s style strat.
It is based on 70's fender strats, that's why the three screws neck joint and the neck binding that fender had for a short runin that period. Erick Jhonson has a signature model with neck binding by the way but with rosewood fretboard so it looks nicer.
Well for the price it sounds pretty good... Although I think most guitars would sound good through a plexi jijiij

Maybe at some point. I've done a couple of Ibanez reviews, but there's just so much gear out there.
Interesting that they went with 3 neck screws instead of 4. I have a Japanese-made Squier Strat that also has 3 neck screws.
Great video👍 but in my opinion as long there are used fender mim at the same price with big trem block and other quality features made by fender not really good reason to buy this kind of strat copy out of the box
fender mim for €240?? where?
Fender MIMs usually go by double of this amount, at least in my country.

I think I did. Too much going on though, so my memory isn't entirely trustworthy.
And yeah, I might review one of their Teles at some point. Just that there's so much gear out there.
The older SX are worth looking for as their headstock shape is closer to the fender one.

Its better then affinity you think ?

The one it came with.
Are the SXs well built ?
In general, I'm not sure. This one developed some fret issues, but other than that it was good.
IMO, yes. I own 4 SX guitars and am extremely happy with all of them.
The omission of bridge+middle pickup configuration is an absolute deal breaker for me but nevertheless if I buy one I will take that stock crap out and get a Genuine Fender loaded pickguard because the stock pickups sound cheap af to me.
A steel Wikinson bridge, GFS pickups, properly sanding the nut grooves - probably a fine guitar.

I know this from my own experience because I never had money for an expensive guitar but I bought cheap ones and never enjoyed the tone of the guitar. And the beauty of the guitar is not important at all. the sound and fine finish are important, and cheap guitars don't have that. Now I have Eko s300 beauty cheap 155€ guitar but with terrible sound. 😣
Here again, I realized that it sounds better than a Squier, am I right?
Probably, just a bit.
Better than a Bullet but not a Standard (".)
Sounds muddy for a Strat!
why this headstock! why!!!!! WHy!!!
Thats a very entry level guitar as you said, your changed your playing up which good on a few levels as you did it on a pretty crappy guitar. Are you a dedicated gear review channel ? If not you should learn the intro to say G.O.A.T. by Polyphia I think they are called .You have more than the skills to learn it, this Tim Henson kid is very talented but its mathematical music which I find soulless the drummer is the star if you ask me, nevertheless if you put up a vid saying " I learnt G.O..A.T. " just the initial guitar intro so you dont get in trouble with UA-cam you will get a ton of views & more subscribers , younger players adore this kid & the guitar sound is this slightly overdriven but very clean which is the way guitar is heading ( guitar without tons of overdrive ? thats not for me, if I want to play clean I will but having it as your lead guitar tone.... hahahah thats not metal or R&R its prog ) they wear high necked thick jumpers no matter what the wether & cross their legs when they sit to play & have an arrogant air to them. Bending ? thats for boomers... look I am generalising & ranting but This Took me 3 days to learn, thats a long time for me so there are some difficult parts at the start in particular .Getting back to my initial point if you learnt this & played just the intro your numbers will clime no doubt ,& this is the point of having a channel, to reach as many people as possible & you'll have a new audience to teach how guitar is meant to sound & be played . Have a listen if you haven't already & see what you think & as always Take care.
Thanks for the suggestion. I had a listen and I just found it boring, so probably won't be learning it.
@@MrPolevaulter Yeah I thought it was also very clinical but thats where guitar is heading sadly ,what he does is quite hard to learn though. I just was just thinking of building your channel . Take Care
Sx make great guitars. The best thing you can do with that one is to remove that ridiculous sticker from the pickguard. There's nothing worse than seing that insignia plastered all over everything u.s. (".)
You sound triggered.
