anyone own a SX sst57 strat?

Re: anyone own a SX sst57 strat?

I do. It's a pretty cool guitar, good for the money. Don't expect USA Fender quality though. I think it would serve well as a beater guitar, or a nice beginner guitar. Just change the electronics once you get it, and it should be a screamer. Good luck!

OH, by the way, I did the Yngwie to mine! Haha, I scalloped the neck and stuck DiMarzios in it. It sounds good, but I don't think the scalloped thing is for me...

Hey would you trade your SX maple scalloped neck for my new SX neck when i get it?
i can get you either maple or rosewood? when i order
did the neck turn out good?
I never scalloped before and am a bit afraid of it turning out like this!!!! :smack:

WICKED LESTER, I also shaved the back of the neck on mine to be thinner. I also did the Richie Blackmore style scallop an all frets below 12, meaning all the lower frets are only half scalloped, so you sort of have a mixed feel. I don't think I could trade it though, it has a lot of sentimental value (being my first scallop job ever!), and I don't think I could part with it.

HOWEVER, I think you should scallop it yourself because it's really really easy. That scallop0wn3d dude must have been a legal retard or something because it's pretty impossible to do much damage to the neck while scalloping, unless you're blind. Just use the cool tutorial here: http://www.projectguitar.com/tut/scal1.htm
