SX necks
I have two sst's a 57 and a 62. The 57 has some minor buzz that my instructor who was a tech for like 20+ years can probably remedy easily.
I have a 62 with a just awesome neck with beautiful
STRAIGHT grain, super beautiful and I have been playing it a lot lately, stock pups, very, very bright. Sounds great thru the Blackheart 3/5 watt head and the Epi one by twelve cab, as well as thru the Peavey Delta Blues. Trem is adequate, but I like a really responsive trem so I loosened up the inner four screws and kept the outer two fairly loose but not snugged down. 1/16 float on the back of the bridge. Just enough to get some higher pitches. I usually palm it down for some neat trem.
I have a couple great SX guitars. Especially that all mahogany LP JR with two P nineties and mahogany set neck 139, sold out probably about as fast as that mahogany strat is going to sell out with the two P nineties. He who hesitates is lost sometimes, don't forget that and how many mahogany body strats do you see?
I have one of those nice Squire trans crimson mahogany dual duncan designed humbucker ones I got for 130 used and I don't think it was played. Plastic still on the back of the tuners. My Cherry Burst is already accidentally more relic'd. Hey, nothing lasts forever. Prudence and reasonable care is what I try to do and I don't like it when I ding them up but it happens.
I'm thinking about a SX 62 PJ bass and wonder if it will have the thick two by four type P bass neck or the nice slim profile Jazz neck. Either one will be cool. They both have their qualities. The bigger necks have more sustain I think due to greater mass, or cubic inches, kind of like the motorcycle analogy. The thick necks are more like thumpers and the thin ones are more like two strokes. Is that a good analogy or a really suc#y one?
SX's are hit and miss many people say and I guess my experience has been an analog of that.
