Xaviere XV-620

steadyriot · 05-12-2009, 05:32 PM

So, I was looking on the GFS website, and found this beauty:

(Yes it's PINK!)
But, how good is the quality of this guitar?
Comparable to Squier? or even MiM?
Because i heard a lot of good things about Xaviere.
So yeah, that's what i want to know!
Thanks.

I like the GFS pickups a lot, especially for the price! I've seen one Xaviere guitar and it was a blem. But based on tone and playability, it was absolutely worth the price.

I think you're probably looking at close to MIM quality with Xaviere. But you can't really beat the prices.

That sounds like a great deal then!
thanks

Close to MIM quality in my opinion. I had an Xaviere Strat copy (XV-870) and it was a great sounding and playing guitar; I just couldn't get used to the feel of a strat!

My main guitar is a Xaviere XV-500. I love it. I also have an XV-650 and it's a monster.

Oke thats some good news!
And I love your Xaviere XV-500!

Did you notice... that guitar is PINK!!

I really dig a nicely aged fender shell pink, that ones a little to fluffy for my tastes though.

steadyriot · 05-14-2009, 02:21 AM

Oh yeah thats lovely!
Does a Thinline Tele twang like a "normal" Tele does?

Hmmm, maybe I should still get a solid one thought,
I'm the type of guy that can run ino a wall with a guitar or something....
Oh well who knows, first need to get the money together anyway!

How are the tuners on the Xaviere Tele's? Any good or should I change them out soon if I'd get one?

Funkwire · 06-11-2009, 12:59 PM

If you're planning on gigging with the guitar, change the tuners right away. They are very loose and one of the ones on my Xaviere was slipping. They'll keep you in tune if you're playing around the house, but I didn't feel comfortable using them onstage.

That's the ONLY problem I had with the guitar...everything else was fine!

steadyriot · 06-11-2009, 01:04 PM

Hmm, oke thats good to know!
Now I just need to get over that headstock.
