".... The 2 3/16" Heel width is cut the same as the traditional "Strat" heel rout- and is compatible with replacement "Strat" necks."

I'd like the "telemaster" style.

Nice. They all have different bridge options.

- Hardtail 3 brass saddle
- Jazzmaster vibrato
- and Strat vibrato

I'm partial to the pup config on the 3 saddle. Just wish it was a P90 in the neck instead of a miniHB.

Fourth thread in two days about these guitars

So can someone please answer my post

How do these play out of the box??

Are the any good. How do they intonate.

pr are they just good to cannibalize for parts for builds

As far as I know Xaviere guitars are a bang for the buck, you get a whole lotta guitar for that kind of money and they play great.

Interesting guitars. I like the fact that they have a vintage radius. I am confused as to why their T-style guitars tend to have a 12" radius. I don't personally like that.

There are some demos on Youtube here:

They look and sounds pretty good from the reviews. The dual numbucker thinlines look great.

my XV 600 needed setup out of the box. specifically the action was WAY high. this was two years ago though. sounds like they spend a bit more time with these before they send em off. i don't know. intonated just fine and after leveling, crowning and polishing the frets it plays WONDERFULLY!
infact most of the solos on our newest album were played on my xv-600!

These things are seriously giving me GAS.
I can't afford to have GAS right now...

Some Xaviere owners on an other forum told me.
