I personally wouldn't go for it. The pickups are more or less the same price of the guitar, and I'd rather go for a guitar that is made of better quality wood rather lower quality wood and hardware. Although SX is a good budget line, I still prefer to go for something else. But in the end, it's all up to you.

firstly, do u have the guitar already? if not, then dont bother and go get a better guitar with the money.
if got, then its only pickups.
just make sure to keep the original pickups, so when u decide to upgrade to a better guitar u can swap them back in.

shouldn't be a problem, you can re-use the pickups again anyways. so if you like the combo then stick with it, if you don't like it you can always change it

i'd say not worth it, unless you're planning to get a better guitar on the long run. then u can swap the EMG.

Buying an SX JUST for EMG pickups, not worth it at all.
SX Guitar around Rm650..... Pickups are like RM700 already. Installation is another RM100 (RM50 for each pickup) at most place.
That's like RM1450 already.
You can get a low end RG or even a Jackson for that amount...... and their pickups isn't that bad either.

The MH50 isn't that worth it for the amount you're paying. I personally tried it, and it feels...... below average. I'd rather get a Jackson if I'm paying that much.

Not below 1k. Around RM1450....... the price you'll pay for an SX with EMGs.

Yes... but not the JS series. You can go there and inquire, or check with Dead Eye.
