Hello there, in this article, I would like to give you a quick SX SST62 Stratocaster review and demo of Graphtech or DiMarzio nut upgrade. I always wanted to own a Strat but could never afford an original one and I was looking around for what to choose without busting the bank. The biggest Thomann Cyberweek of all time! From November 17th to 27th 2023 - deals with up to 60% discount! Don't miss this chance!
Update: I don’t have this SX SST62 any longer. I was able to get myself a Fender American Standard in mystic blue colour! Read my full review here.
After I tested a lot of Strat copies from different brands such as Cort, Squier by Fender, Jay Turser and Stagg, I decided to get an SX one because apart from the hardware, it was the closest copy of a ’60s Strat. So got one and did my first instalment of upgrades.
The first thing to do is to get rid of the plastic nut and restring it with my favourite set of strings by Elixir 12102 (Nanoweb 11-49). Advertisement - Please click these ads and support the website
My choice was a Graphtech nut, TUSQ model!
PS: Tuned down a half step! This sounds much better and the tension is much more comfortable 🙂 In the period from 01.11.2023 to 15.01.2024 buy one of the participating Taylor Guitars and receive a Baby Taylor or GS Mini for free on top!
If you are interested in the modifications that I applied to my SX SS62 Stratocaster and also read my full review, please have a look at my “SX SST62 Electric Guitar Review True 60’s Stratocaster Clone” review!
