Yup, just bring it to a luthier(Or DIY if you want). Try guitar 911, Guitar hospital, Elegee...You might have to get a new bridge though.

Possible but ye you might need a new bridge.  If thats an sx tele I'd worry more about the tuners than the bridge. Just my advice.  :wink:

The tuners are ok but could be alot better. Toploader bridge is fine I think not much difference compared sa string thru. I said worry bout the tuners because it can be really unstable especially if you do alot of bends in your playing. May nakita ko na ibang sx guitar(bryanarzaga's sx) na may logo ng SX yung tuners mukhang wala naman sila problema pero iba yun sa tuners na nakalagay sa mga sx available dito. I hope isolated case lang yung experience ko because SX are good guitars but If ever im going to upgrade an SX stl50 I'd change the tuner and get better but cheap pickups. Pickups are good stock but a little too dark for a tele lalo na yung neck pickup dark and round sounding para sakin which is good but doesn't sound much like a tele. Naging mini-review na to. Goodluck with the upgrades.

Hi there, yup I've seen a SX Tele converted to string-thru in another forum. From what I've seen, it may need a bit of body routing on the pickup area but will still depend on the bridge you'll be installing it with. I'm no expert, but in the past when I had a tele of mine converted, I brought it to a luthier and it went well :-)

Unfortunately, I've been trying to find it  coz Bryan was also asking about it but I just couldn't find it. The thing is.. I stumbled upon it I think it was last year pa, best if you try to search it sa Telecaster forums and type "SX" sa search button :-)

Hope this helps.

Madali bang ma out of tune?

Baka naman wala sa tamang setup kaya nawawala sa tono or yung tuner mismo ang may problema?
