Delusions: or watchamacall-em'

The unreflected life is not worth living (Socrates)--The unlived life is not worth reflecting upon (Buddhist) No man is happy without a delusion of some kind. Delusions are as necessary to our happiness as realities. – Christian nevell bovee-

New axe!!

Finally got meself a semi-acoustic guitar. something which has been on my mind for so long. An SX dreadnought semi-acoustic. It's nothing much to shout about though (relatively speaking~to all the Taylors, Matons, etc. out there) but for the price, its one of the best around. Paid RM1K for everything you see here.
Pros: good volume, solid body, nice finishing, affordable price tag. Cons: sound is to jarring, difference between bass and treble tones are not distinct~prob. can make up for this using the active pickups when plugged in.


The SX dreadnought Model 44CE



View from the bridge(note the usual fine-tuning on the 2nd string) and side.



Shadow pickup equalizer and (not sure what) strings



Headstock and (turtle skin?)pickguard



Strap fasteners~plastic? for rear and metal for front



Back view and close up of the wood.(speculated to be bamboo wood)



Gator case and other accessories(strap, cable, strings, capo, pick+case keys)

Notice how it looks very much like a Taylor to some extent. ;P

Overall, my 1st ever huge investment! yes~this is huge for me.
