I had an SX Tele, it was amazing. Had the proper Fender headstock too.
SX and Agile are actually separate companies - China and Korea based -
BUT
Yes!!! I use my 2 SX basses to this day! In fact - the Jazz is going with me Saturday night.
So - When does you SX thinline arrive?
The guy in the video seems to thing SX is a Spanish brand("... extremely cheap Spain brand).
Odd.
I had seem a spanish page for SX -
TEAM is the parent company if I recall correctly - maybe Team international? something like that.
SX is Chinese produced, Agile is Korean.
I think both plants turn out some nice stuff, along with mucho-entry level stuff.
I got the a first run of the Agile 3000 series - CSB LP type with P90s.
My only complaint was scratchy pots, that I have yet to fix.
I Sanded the back of the neck, and will probably sand it some more. I did it for feel, not aging - and it feels good. I think It just needs taken down a tad more - thats all. Frets, neck, etc.......very nice
SX -
the basses - I love the necks - they are very nice, and my experience has been that the frets were nicely done.
I've read lots of good things about the early ones.Quote:

That was why I found that guy's comment about it being a Spanish brand, if not odd, revealing.
So are the newer Agile LPs not so good? 'Cause I keep looking at those things....
I don't know about quality, but they changed the shape of the cutaway at some point and the headstock, which made them less apealing to some.Quote:

I played a used LP copy, one that was lower in the line than the 3000, and it was attractive, and pretty heavy, but unconvincing in every other way. Generic, slim/flat, un-Lestery feeling neck.
It didn't measure up to the "as good as a Gibson, for the money" hype, not even for the money.
I would love to have a tele like in my OP.
