Anybody try a Xaviere XV-895HSS yet?

Seems interesting to have this style of guitar with a poplar body. And I have to say the finishes look very nice (I really like look of the purple finish)-

I was hoping you'd hear from someone who took the plunge on this, I too like the purple. I've have to change the pickup color though, white looks odd. Is the binding really that bright white also, it's a little hard to tell.

i hope they have switched to a different factory that makes their guitars.

Every XAviere i have owned has required extensive fretwork to fix multiple dead spots.

Even the SX's i've had have been better as far as playability.

Yeah it is pretty much a given fretwork has to be done on these cheaper guitars. I'm prepared for that by now with most Chinese guitars . The South Koreans however seem to have a handle on that now.

 

I actually think you'd be better off with the SAME factory (unless you want to see a jump in prices) where the workers can gain experience over time to start making better guitars.

Just because the work sucks doesn
