Cheap Guitar Question SX, Epiphone, Squire

[442w30]

I've got three quesitons:

Do SX Strats and Teles have standard neck pockets - could you put a warmoth/fender on it?

What are Epiphone $99 LP Jr bodies made of?

What are Squire standards and Bullet bodies made of (the $99 ones, not the affinitys)?

OK, the 2- Hum Jrs are Maple/Alder Plywood, and the one hums are "Tonewood" WTF is that? I could live with basswood, but tonewood?

Still open on the other questions.

In this case I suspect that the so-called tonewood is agathis which is pretty much Asian pine.

agathis = garbage

In this price segment, "Tonewood" is marketing BS for "The cheapest non-plywood we could find".

Invest another 500 bucks or more, and Tonewood is GOOD wood [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
