Xaviere guitar ad

The_Sentry · 01-31-2010, 03:35 PM

So, I bought this magazine with George Benson on the cover, and I saw something inside I never thought I'd see...an ad pimping Guitar Fetish's Xaviere guitars...(with...actual endorsers too!)

Well, all I can say is that personally, I think they suck ass because they don't make LH models...

(That and Demakes from Less than Jake looks like he just smoked a big fat one right before the photo shoot!

)

I saw Less Than Jake last year.

He wasn't playing a stinkin' Xavier back then!!

Allright Dice...what does he REALLY play?

I still don't know how they get away with their prices...are the bodies made of cardboard?

Have you check out the "Footpedals" ads.

GFS Footpedals

Poor Earl...he looks like he's having a bad day!

dennistruckdriver · 01-31-2010, 04:28 PM

Heck, anybody'd say something good about anything for enough money.

The_Sentry · 01-31-2010, 04:32 PM

They all look like they NEED money!

Desperately!!!!

!!!

Sinster · 01-31-2010, 04:40 PM

Footpedals really aren't all that expensive to make. Even with High End Stuff. I built a Fuzz, Distortion and a Noise Gate.. each cost me under 25.00 with enclosure.

Annoying Twit · 01-31-2010, 04:42 PM

Holy sh*t! I actually found a photo of one of them playing the guitar that they're endorsing!!!!!

I think if you spend all your life playing on a bone it's going to do that to you

Udonitron · 01-31-2010, 09:39 PM

Haha Edward Grimly

I just received a Xaviere XV-500 a few days ago and want to say that it's been a lousy buying experience. The guitar is junk and has big finish runs, a gouge in the top , terrible frets, and lots more that I'll not get into unless someone wants to hear it. It was apparently a return because it had play marks and the plastic film had been mostly removed from the plastic parts. Just the fact that they shipped me this thing is wrong, but guitarfetish's response was what soured me on dealing with them. After all's said and done I'm out $40 and the time spent on sending it back. Frankly my expectations for an inexpensive guitar aren't that much but GFS selling a second/blem as new and refusing to even communicate is bullshit. I didn't complain or even offer any description of the guitar. I was trying to get some info on how the money works on an exchange and got a really snarky reply from a guy named Jay. After that he's refused to reply to follow up email from me. I've bought from Rondo and gotten a good product and great service. Same with Musicians Friend. If you buy from GFS you're risking getting clipped for at least the shipping. I'll see how the refund goes.

Skynyrdpicker · 02-18-2010, 11:23 AM

I would not buy an XV-500/700 again. Their bolt on neck models are very decent, though.

I've gotten 'snarky' replies to my e-mails in the past, also.

I caught LTJ back in December and Demakes was switching between that lemon drop Xaviere and a trans-blue Epi. I have no idea if they were stock, but they both sounded pretty good(granted, ska-punk doesn't require much in the way of tone).

Those ads are in Guitar World too.
