It did, on the black ones, which is why Roope redesigned it on the White one
On the white one, yes, because roope moved the bridge up on the body, thus moving the neck up as well
most guitars do have great fretaccess, but for some reason, stars and kellys tend to have shitty, i dont know why.. I have a jackson kelly right here, and its fretaccess is worse than my telecaster, bcrich, LTD, and even the SX.
The 24th fret is lower than the cutaway goes, and just ONE fret below, isnt that huge difference you'd think. Wrong, really it fucks me up when playing around there, hence i turned the guitar into an Open C tuned guitar, so i don't go all sololol on that guitar, yay for that.
Speaking of guitars and SX
New guitar came yesterday, a SX SEG1 PG
now i know you guys are all for expensive guitars, and hate everything cheap, but this guitar actually surprised me.. It was 140$ NEW, so i just HAD to buy it
There were ofcourse, issues with it when it came straight out of the box. i took off the neck and put small paper pieces in there to level the neck more, then i readjusted the floyd, pickups, and the neck, changed strings(the ones on it snapped right away! Fucking d'addario shits), and some other kind of things, like throwing away the backplate and such..
The binding is, badly done, i can say that, but cant see it on distance, so what the hell.. i mean, what the fuck, the guitar costed 140$, i cant expect it to be perfect
But i really liked the tone those shitty pickups gave me :S really defined and nice, and decent sustain too! I think the tone in this guitar, whatever it is, is very mid oriented, because its GREAT for leads, and for some sleazy riffing too, however im not sure it fits well for downtuned metulz, so i'm going to keep it in E
But yes, this being my Second SX Aquirement(first being a Jazz Bass), i have to say im generally impressed with SX's work, they give really good guitars for the price, blowing such sub-brands as Squire, low end LTD, and various others, out of the water, in terms of sound, price, and general feel.. Heck, the licensed floyd on this one, fucking stays in tune! That never happened with the stock Floyd on the LTD..
So yeah, if you like to fuck around with a guitar, swap around pickups, and generally find that you need a backup guitar but you're not ready to fork out several hundred $'s for a guitar that will basically sit there incase you break a string, and you know your way around a guitar, then yes, SX is worth a try!
I'm considering one of their PRS Knockoffs next, but before that i'll probably get an edwards/ESP, or high end jackson.. we'll see!
To be honest I would probably buy it if it was a super good deal or something, but I'd rather save up my money for a nice Jackson RR or Edwards Alexi. My personal opinion.
