No not yet but I just got one of the strats awhile back and I was way impressed,it plays great,it was set up just right for me and it was also in tune! go figure thats why I did not waste time in buying another.Now I need to find where to buy wall hangers for all these guitars now,any suggestions.Sumi:D

i use string swings....you can get them at most guitar shops....here's a link to zzounds because thefret.net makes a little money if you order from them...

Thanks Warren I play more if I have my guitars out of the case,so having them hanging around just begging to be played would be a plus.Sumi:D

If you keep the guitars out, you're much more likely to play them :AOK:

I keep all of mine out on muti-guitar racks in my studio. Always ready to be caressed. :thwap:

Well recieved the axe today its ok,the looks are fine I like their necks they fit my hand great but the pups are so so lots of hum when you use just the neck or bridge less when both and the vibrato,tremolo system is alittle cheesey but for 170 bucks Ill hang it on the wall and pull it down from time to time the sx strat is a fav of mine the pups sound good it plays good sometimes less is more.Sumi:D

p90's are known to hum (like single coils)....how do they sound when you are playing them....

I have to say, that is the oddest bridge I've ever seen! Are they vintage re-issue or something?

They sound good,been havin' a great time on my g-dec with the surf and some blues stuff.That bridge is weird it moves,well it rocks to and fro when you use the wammy.It is really cool to have guitars that are so much fun for under 200 bucks but Im tellin' ya that sx strat is still blowin'me away it plays and sounds great I thought for sure I would want to change the pups but the more I play it the more I like 'em.Now I need to finish fixin' the super reverb and try them out on it.Sumi:D

It's at least similar to the one that Fender puts on the Jazzmaster (http://www.fender.com/products/search.php?partno=0100800806). I don't know how it works or even if it works that well. It doesn't have "Floyd" or "Kahler" on it, so I'm leery.
