Members angus_old Posted March 15, 2006 Members Share Posted March 15, 2006 Is the skunk stripe on SX necks real or painted on? I have an SJM, I assume all the necks are the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members awfulcase Posted March 15, 2006 Members Share Posted March 15, 2006 I just got my SST57 in powder blue and the stripe is definately painted on, and badly so, but not bad enough to bother me, since I'm probably gonna refinish the neck anyway.

Members Caliban Posted March 15, 2006 Members Share Posted March 15, 2006 I had a sx tele given to me. Nasty neck, I relaced it. It had glue spots, loose frets. The stripe was smeared on the top. If anybody in the Central Illinois area wants the neck they can have it along with another neck. Not going to ship it anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members lintuxvi Posted March 15, 2006 Members Share Posted March 15, 2006 oh yeah, and why does mine say made in china if SX is from spain? They use a third party to manufacture the guitars themselves while the company's headquarters are somewhere else. Lots of companies do that. Cort, Schecter, and crew.

Members Dougy Posted March 15, 2006 Members Share Posted March 15, 2006 On a related note, I've seen Skunk Stripe Decals for sale on ebay recently. Never played an SX though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The semi hollow is a washburn. Champaign area, I have 2 SX necks and a saga cut as a tele neck. I am not go to use them, but hate to throw them out. Thanks about the dogs.

No, I've never owned an SX guitar, but that doesn't preclude me from having an opinion of them based on what others have said. From the comments in this thread alone, they sound like complete crap.

From the comments in this thread alone, they sound like complete crap. I own 3 SX guitars currently - all 3 have excellent necks, really I'd consider the neck to be their outstanding feature (other than the low price) I'm sure you don't care Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sound like complete crap. I think that the positive reviews regarding SX guitars greatly out-weigh the negative comments. I have one sitting in my living room wating for me to get home and unpack it. I will leave my comments about SX later tonight. I have never seen one, I am curious as all hell to go check it out...

Members Caliban Posted March 15, 2006 Members Share Posted March 15, 2006 The bad neck was on the SX given to me. It was given to me new in the box for payment on some computer work. I guess I probably could have pushed Kurt for a replacment, but instead I bought a second neck. The second neck was in much better shape than the first. I just didn't like the heavy laquer and shape of the neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members whoop Posted March 15, 2006 Members Share Posted March 15, 2006 Originally posted by RothnRoll The neck on mine is nasty..Several frets are different heights...I think a good hammer will fix it... or destroy it yeah, i had to do that. just use a piece of wood between the frets and the hammer and you're all set. funny thing though, i was using a small piece of wood, just about the size of a humbucker and when i hammered one fret down, another fret would pop up slightly... talk about aggravating. finally got everything setup just fine, but it took a while.

Members Sheik Yerbouti Posted March 16, 2006 Members Share Posted March 16, 2006 My skunk stripe sure isn't painted on, the grain on the stripe looks noting like the maple neck. Mine had perfect frets (needed a tad bit of polishing, though). Maybe the quality is increasing with the higher demand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
