Any idea who was making the SX guitars?

[peskypesky1]

I have four SX guitars, and every time I pick one up to play, I am blown away by the quality to dollar ratio.
I bought my SX Liquid brand new from Rondo for $139.
I bought my SX EG7 hollow body for $199.

I bought a used SX Vintage Series Strat for $175.
And I got a used SX Standard Series Strat for $50 from Goodwill.

I put all of them at the lever of Squier Classic Vibes...for a LOT less money.

I know there is/was a Spanish company called SX Guitars...but who was actually making these??

I can't find the Spanish company any more, but SX guitars are still being sold in Australia.

Now and then you'll still see a few them around here in Bangkok, but there are so many 'quality' 3rd tier brands these days, I think they have been overshadowed.

SX (Essex) Guitars, the story behind one of the best value instruments on the market

Wasn't Essex/TI manufacturing in Spain?
Just saw this in a pawn shop. I remember that color. Looks like upgraded pickups.

I don't know whether SX built guitars in more than one country. This SX Hawk says it was made in China.

Edit: This Liquid does too.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they were all made in China.

I played my SX SJM-62 at a blues jam two weeks ago and it was the talk of the town that night.

Hey guys, Long time no post! I do lurk regular though to try an keep up with what is going on from the old Forum.
Just thought I would pass this along as I somehow recently came across their link.
They actually have some SX in stock and some on order.
They have a storefront also to check out the business.
Thought I would pass it along.
Rock on!

That top loader tele would make a great home for a B5.

They haven't updated their website since Kurt last updated his camera...but that factory in China was definitely the one making them...at least as of 10-20 years ago when I last looked in to it. I assume they still do
