hallo guys,
so, i bought an SX strat copy yesterday. overall, sound dier ok ar utk rm500. tapi fretboard dier kasar ar... x smooth mcm RG aku... ader x oil yg bley buat fretboard dier smooth?
aku memuler nak angkat srat copy dgn maple fretboard, sebab aku tgk SX buat licin, tapi out of stock. so aku bli rosewood fret... ok tu mmg ok, tapi rase kasar skit.. |

rosewood sebenarnya mmg kasar..
pergi bentley beli dunlop fretboard care kit set.
Harga RM40 dapat 2 botol besar setahun pakai pun tak habis.. rm40 utk lebih setahun sgt berbaloi.
dari 2 botol tu, satu botol utk fretboard cleaner dan satu lagi utk fretboard polish.. khas utk rosewood..
roger

oo, i see. thanks for the info izuan.
ok, now, a lil cheap ass 'amateur' guitar review. i want to share this experience with you guys. so, like i said, aku baru jer bli SX SR'y'. eheheh, mmg dari rupa, sumer nyer ok except for the SRy sign. aku pun memuler tgk pickguard dier, aku dah meluat. tapi, dont judge a book by its cover. so, aku pun ambik ar guitar tu, test dgn peavey transtube 112.
the SX SRY
feel guitar nie bagi aku ok. selesa. neck dier mmg tebal mcm baseball bat. but, i like it a lot. sebelum nie, neck paling tebal aku penah rase pun neck fender jeff back sig. dari segi finish, utk rm 500, aku rasa lebih dari ok. dasyat ar :p slalu guitar rm500 xder mcmnie... hardware pun, walaupun berkilat2, tapi still nampak murah. but, works fine.pickup selector jer aku kurang berkenan, tinggi sgt. pickguard dier sebenarnyer ok, tapi biler dah ader ukiran SRy tuh, nampak hodoh skit. aku mmg bercadang nak tukar pickguard dier. i did compare this to other SX strat, i choose this one because of the fat ass neck!!! hahahah!!! body guitar nie diperbuat drp kayu alder, with maple neck and rosewood fretboard. finish sunburst, bridge terbalik mcm SRV, gold hardware, a volume knob, 2 tone knob and 5 way pickup selector.
the knobs and the bridge looks really beautiful, IMO
the headstock, gold klusion style tuners
gold tuners. nothing special, but it makes the guitar look cool 
hm, intresting, maybe ruper jer ngam, tapi sound cam sial... kot? let see...
memuler aku try clean sound. fuh, nice. clean dan sharp. aku terkejut gak, stock pups dier bley buat sound mcmnie... bile aku main, sumer lick2 aku jadi sound blues, plik :p so, aku tukar ke sound OD. pergh, boleh blah. cukup bagus. kalo setakat nak main lagu ala2 SRV, clapton aku rase no hal. sound dier muddy skit. then, aku try dapatkan sound heavy skit, taruk OD byk skit. utk old skool rock, ok ar. setakat ACDC, aerosmith, search, you name it. kalo nak main metal, kene tukaq pickup kot... and kalo korg nak shredd, mungkin susah skit kot, sebab neck tebal...
i'm a lil bit unsatiesfied with the pickup selector
i did tried out a cheap US fender bullet once, and this strat copy sound just like it.. well not exactly like it, ade skit2 ar. but this is just my opinion.
for rm500, this baby is a bargain
biler time aku bli, tokey kedai ambik stock baru utk guitar nie. then aku test balik. aku surprise sebab neck stock baru nie lagi tebal... dalam pkran aku "hah, mampus ar, lagi best". ehehehe.
the neck plate has an Sx sign. i'm thinking of changing it into custom plate
different view
overall, utk rm500, aku rase mmg org xleh nak complain byk. mmg memuaskan. cume, pickguard SRy dan fretboard tu jer aku x brapa berkenan. kalo maple fretboard... mesti lagi best. and sting standard dier nipis sgt... aku prefer 0.10. time tu aku x bwk duit byk plak, so, xdapt bli strings :p
rating: 3.5/5 
thanks for reading my review. i hope you enjoy reading it.

SX mmg budget guitar yg cool.. neck dia ada leaquer tp aku tak tau la itu nitrocellulose atau apa.. Sebab leaquer ni pun ada byk kuality.. tp squier pun tak leaquer neck dia.. squier guna soft botanical wood - Agathis but this SX uses Alder!
aku cadangkan kalau ko nak betul2 rasa guitar SX ko ni perform, ko hantar setup kat pakar2 setup ..

tham spider eh? aku slalu lepak dgn mamat namer yus, dier kenal gak si tham tu... tapi x tau ar samer ader guitar tech si yus nie samer dgn si tham...
si GG lak, aku xnah jumper lagi. xnah contact pun... tapi penah dgr nama.
aku terkejut tgk harga pickguard... kat woh fatt, pickguard yg leh masuk dalam SX, die nak jual rm77... aku ingatkan harga pickguard dalam rm5-6 jer...
mamat woh fat kater, mmg fender pickguard x muat dalam SX... maybe he's right... i dunno... |
