To buy or not to buy...
 

...this guitar




It would be about $150

It's made in China, brand name is SX, sold thru Rondo music. Alder body, P-90s, skunk stripe maple neck with rosewood fretboard with 22 jumbo frets, 25 1/2 scale. Jazz/Jag style bridge and trem, comes in Red, Black, Sunburst, and this color.

this would only be if my Mex Strat deal falls through, I'm trying to get a pretty rough mex strat for $100, but it doesn't come off pawn until July 11

buy it

If you can roadtest one, try it first. It does look pretty good, a novel twist on the Jazzmaster.

That's the only problem. The only place I can find to buy one is Ebay. I've checked the site but I don't think you can order from there

$150 is great.

just get a firstact.

no.

just get a jazzmaster.

no
save money for a really good guitar.

I need to save money for college. But, I will have a Jazzmaster within the next few years.

But buy it if you have a lot of spare money. It's nice to have lotsa instruments to play around with.

The thing is I don't really need it. I've already got 3 guitars, all crappy, so that's why I'm trying to get the Strat. This guitar would just be for SY/MBV stuff, so it would serve a limited purpose.

then refer to my previous post, stop buyng "meh" guitars and start saving for a really good one (in case your other deal doesn't work out, you'll have 250$ ready)

Would you consider a Mexican Strat a "meh" guitar?

nope, I said "in case your other deal..." (the strat) etc. It should sound good.

i looks awfull... but it can be shaped really nice...you can turn it in a Jazzmaster... if it sounds good, buy it

Ah, I misunderstood. Thanks. The body has a few dings out of it and it's a bit dirty, but everything sounds goods.

actually, i changed my mind, buy it, now.

No. Never buy a guitar you can't play first. What about the action of the strings, the feel of the guitar holding it. Don't. Save your money and buy something you can take the time to check out in a store.

yeah, they are different.

i agree with gmku, you gotta try whatever you want to buy. but if you really want a mexican Fender, get a tele, cause theyre pretty amazing.

but yeah i think you should just save the money and get something real.

I mean, I've got a Squier Tele, a Teisco, and a cheap Les Paul copy. So, a Mex Strat is a step up.

I second that, Teles are better than Strats.
