SX Strats

[Spudman]

Here is a new twist on a Strat. Could be appealing to some. I've heard good things about the SX reqular Strats. All this for only $110.

Sweet little thing! I want one of those. What a cool looking guitar!

Gawd Robert..if you do get one don't give a good review...I'll have to get one then... it does look sweet... would look nice along the SX 57 bass.. and give me reason to learn http://www.the-jime.dk/Rockabilly_Guitar.htm Rockabilly! Umm that is what P90's are for right?

This was NOT a good thing for a guy who's been hankerin' for a 2nd Strat and a guitar w/ P90's to see. Must resist.....must resist....must (where'd I put that VISA card?) resist....

 

[Robert]

It's incredibly cheap, so we shouldn't need to fee so guilty. Right?

Gee, what a coincidence! The little red guy with horns sitting on my left shoulder whispered the same thing into my ear just a few minutes ago!

 

[SuperSwede]

Voodoo.. so you and el credito are going to check one out?

 

[Spudman]

Ya Voodoo. Have you got it yet? How does it sound? Play? Is it worth the dough?

 

[duhvoodooman]

Unbelievably, I haven't succumbed to temptation yet. But I'll let you all know if (when?) I do....

 

[SuperSwede]

absolutely wonderful guitar, you know that it will sound wonderful with your Delta Blues, dont you?

 

[duhvoodooman]

Geez, who needs that little red guy with horns when you're around, Swede!

 

[SuperSwede]

Glad to be of service, as usual...

ARghh.. no one here carries that guitar, so does anyone know how much it would cost to ship a guitar from usa to sweden?

SX is an international brand, and not unique to Rondo... A little research might find a closer distributor to you... You could also try to email Kurt at Rondo. He could tell you shipping prices, and would probably refer you to someone closer...

By the way, I tried to Yahoo "SX Guitars Sweden" hoping to find a Swedish distributor, but all I got was this page, and a bunch of other stuff.

Katastrophe, there is a few places around here that sell SX guitars but none of them carry that model. And at 2.5 times the price you pay in USA it could even be a better deal (even if it gets stuck in the customs!). I saw that one dealer had a few of the SX reissue strats, I wonder how they are compared to squiers at the same price ?
