Adrian Smith SDX India vs Indonesia

[Sudzinsky]

I'm looking at buying a used Adrian Smith SDX and wondering if there's any real difference / preference in where they're made at?
Are the current production models made in India and the older ones were made in Indonesia?

[rjohnstone]

Nope... all still made in Indonesia.
The newer version lacks the stripe on the back of the neck and the 12th fret dots are a little wider.
Still great guitars for the money.

I do recall the older ones had an issue with the high E slipping off the fretboard for some.
Nut change fixed that.

Those can be great guitars with a change of the pots and output jack and a little fretwork. Killer value.

Why stop there?

I keep forgetting - what is the routing under the pickguard? I think someone said a swimming pool.

Yep... you can go with any pickup config you want.

Not in mine, I have SSH-routing, and I bought mine in 2015 (could of course be older than that depending on stock/sales)

Mine is a 2017... sounds like they changed a few things when they redesigned the necks.
