Members nyck Posted June 15, 2007 Members Share Posted June 15, 2007 Kso, the strat GAS has taken over and I have finally succumb to it's powers. I've been wanting a cream white strat with a maple neck and single coils for a long time and now I'm finally gonna have one!The reason I didn't get one in the past is mainly because I primarily play metal, and it just didn't seem that feasable to own something I would play every once in a while.Well now I'm in the process of starting an alt/indie rock band and this is the guitar I want for it!{censored} emgs for a nice half, clean half overdriven, jangly, twangy, sweet sound.

Members flyby Posted June 15, 2007 Members Share Posted June 15, 2007 Nice! ..But whats the main difference between the SX SST57 models and the SST62? Besides available colors They look (specs)pretty much the same.http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220120453738 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TravvyBear Posted June 15, 2007 Members Share Posted June 15, 2007 I think 57's come with maple necks while 62's come with rosewood. I think thats the only diff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members phildogger Posted June 15, 2007 Members Share Posted June 15, 2007 i have the same one. decent guitar. Stiff tuners, the nut is garbage, it needed an intonation and setup, but not bad for 99 bucks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I heard they had really cheap plastic nuts ..but when I emailed Kurt he said All the New guitars now have either graphite or bone nuts ..well see mine should get here shortly.

Members omni Posted June 15, 2007 Members Share Posted June 15, 2007 Wow, I just noticed that the shape of the body is slightly different from a true Fender strat. I thought it was just the headstock but apparently the body is different as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members omni Posted June 15, 2007 Members Share Posted June 15, 2007 The horns are slightly mainly the upperm actually both, very slightly different and the SX is a little wider. I suppose it has to be or the lawsuits would start flying like they did with the LP copys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members flyby Posted June 15, 2007 Members Share Posted June 15, 2007 Guess we better buy now before they have to cut half a horn off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members omni Posted June 15, 2007 Members Share Posted June 15, 2007 Guess we better buy now before they have to cut half a horn off I think at one time the headstock was the same as a Fender, I could be wrong though. It would have been cool to grab one of those and throw some pups and maybe some better tuners on it. I might be might wrong about the body but I am pretty sure the horns are slighty off.

Members omni Posted June 15, 2007 Members Share Posted June 15, 2007 It was. Damn. That one looks almost dead on. Upper horn is slightly different though. Ever compare it to a real strat? Dimensions I mean.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
