My SX SST57K just arrived!
I am going home now to test my SX SST57 kit - it comes with guitar, amp, tuner, cable, strap and picks.
I'll be back soon with more comments!
Somewhat later....
Hmm, everything looks pretty good, except - it has a ROSEWOOD fretboard!
I wanted a maple fretboard, which is why I order the SST57. Sigh. Oh well, not the end of the world, it's still a nice neck.
First impression - the pickups are suprisingly good. The setup isn't great, needs to have the intonation set and some Tru-oil on the neck. I lowered the action a bit and it became friendlier to play. It has great frets.
In summary: it looks very promising. Some adjustments (the nut needs to be replaced) here and there, and I think it will turn out really well.
I'll have to put my Fender CS 54's in this guitar, even though the stock pickups are quite capable. In fact, I think I'll leave the bridge pup in it - I like it and the CS 54 bridge pup is not my cup of tea.
