SX FTL 50/2 Telecaster

Nach 5 SX Strats habe ich nun auch eine SX Tele zugelegt. Meine begeisterung uber SX Instrumente konnt Ihr aus der 62 er SX Strat Seite lesen. Alle Eigenschaften treffen auch bei Tele zu.

Genau wie beim Bruder SX Strat klingt die Tele auch wunderbar ausgeglichen in allen Lagen. Besonders der Bridgepickup ist sehr ausdruckstark, spricht gut an, produziert angenehmen stratigen Sound.
Halspickup ist etwas matter, aber bei dieser Preisklasse kann man von einer fast perfekten Tele sprechen.

Die Verarbeitung ist hevorragend, flacher sehr gut bespielbarer Hals, Bunde sind an den Enden perfekt geschliffen, auf dem 12 Bund betragt die Saitenlage 3mm ohne Schnarren (ist doch was, oder ?. Lackierung ist sehr gut, die Gitarre liegt in der Hand traumhaft angenehm. Klusontype Mechaniken funktionieren gut, Holz und Lackierung des Halses auch perfekt.

Die Gitarre kann man wirklich vielseitig einsetzen, Cleane Gitarrenstucke, Bluesig bis crunch alles moglich.
Ich spiele die Tele uber einen Behringer GX 210, der Cleansound ist wirklich beeindruckend.

Ich spiele seit 35 Jahren Gitarre, wahrend meiner Musikerlaufbahn habe ich so ziemlich alles mogliche gespielt. Nun seit 2 Jahren habe ich mich auf Shadows-Musik spezialisiert. Ich besitze selbsverstandlich auch orig. Fender Strats und die Burns Hank-Marvin Signature, aber meine lieblingsinstrumente sind die SX Strats und die Tele. Die Kombination mit dem Behringer GX 210 ergibt den besten Shadows - Sound. Bis ich auf diese Konstelation gesto?en bin habe ich jahreland ein Vermogen fur Teure Instrumente und Amps ausgegeben. NUN eine SX + Behringer GX 210 = 300, Euro, ist die Losung.

it was made 03 in china, I've been looking for a mexiko Fender tele, saw this junk guitar in a shop, and I was amazed, how a cheap guitar could look that nice... a couple a weeks later, I saw a used one on the net, in a different music store. when I camed to the shop, the guitar was brand new, I just bought it, didn't try it out or anything. I wasn't expecting to much of it, I just wanted a tele...


it got some cool features, vintage tuners that are really cool, broadcaster topload stable(!), maple neck and a niece sunburst finnish, white pickguard...

I play pop/rock, beeing a swede you can think of the hives and all soundtrack of our lives, and this baby really knocks it every time... I use a marshall 100watt JMP head with a randall 4*12 1970's cabinett. sure it's a little noisy but wich singlecoil guitar isn't? all other tele's I've tried have been very sensitive with volume. this ain't. the neck pick-up is smooth, and the stable mick is a litlle thin compared to a custom tele I compared it with, but it's much much better than most squiers, hell it's not worse than the fender mexiko so...


the body seems to be a little thinner than fenders, and that is great cause the weight is held down a little, it also get a little lighter sound. that sometimes can be usefull... If you look at the main guitarist in the hives, he's using cheap korean guitars with vintage micks and a special made tele, that is a mix over from the gibson firebird-tele broadcaster...

the action was nice, it ran 0,9 strings that I replaced with 0,11 and I didn't care to fiddle with it, it tuned so, but now it has been given some work by a shop, they lowered the strings and stuff, they were excited over it cause it sounded so good.


if you are looking for a reliable tele, with a solid laquered neck, good tuners and a striking look, and don't want to buy a fender get this one, and rub the sx logo off... smash it around a bit, to get a well worned look, and people will look at it and think goddamn...

it is one of my main guitars... I use schaller straplocks insteed because I run about a lot...


I could use this without a backup, but sometimes you need a little more bottom than any tele without humbuckers can provide... I use this one at home, and on rehearsals, it's the best standard sub tele fender guitar i ever tested....

it a chinese company, and the guitar is cheap... and it's a tele... if you break the neck, you can fit whatever you like on it... stratt neck fits...

great!!! if you want a better mick people are telling me to try a Seymour duncan hotrails, I'll might do that... cause I play a goldtop P90 to, and they say that the hotrail will sound somewhat like that but noiseless like humbucker... but I'm convinced that a expensive stable mick will make this guitar a keeper for the price of a distpedal

Brand new (made 2003), distributed by PROEL, supposed it was made in China. 22 frets, single cutaway telecaster style. It has one volume, one tone control and 3-way switch. 2 single coil pickups (bridge pickup is lipstick style). Alder sunburst body, maple neck and fingerboard. 3 saddle tele style bridge with no string through body! Tuners are realy hard to scroll, but with some patience guitar can be well tuned.

I play rock and punkrock music. I use Laney 300TF amp, and Boss multieffect and guitar suits well for this kind of music. It has bright, crunchy sound and it isn't very noisy (just like other tele guitars)

The guitar was well set-up when I bought it. I slightly lifted bridge pickup and lowered some strings.

I have this guitar for few days only, but it will last some rocking around.

The guitar has 12 months warranty. The shop where I bought it, is the official importer for SX guitars in our country. So I guess I can get some help from them, if I will need it.

I also have Epiphone LP guitar, but for this money telecaster is very good made and has very good sound. I was very surprised with quality and I am very satisfied with this guitar. (It's also written custom handmade on neck :))
