Members gardo Posted October 6, 2020 Members Share Posted October 6, 2020 Always wondered about the Xaviere T types but not quite enough to bite. Until now, they changed the headstock shape and it’s now called a Pro 820 . A three piece alder body with ashtray bridge and brass saddles ,it looks good .It showed up Saturday after the UPS driver teased me a bit. First thing Saturday morning the truck showed up in front of the house. The driver sat there and sat there and left. Late afternoon he came back with the delivery. It needed only tuning to be very playable. But to really be right it need some attention. The frets were a little sharp but a file took care of that . The strings were okay but not what I like. .I put on D’Addario 10’s and gave the truss rod a little twist. When I changed strings the ferrules started falling out so I put them in with a little super glue. No major issues just some details needed attention. I now have a Tele I really like for under $200. Can’t complain. Finishing up a few little things makes it mine. It’s a keeper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators daddymack Posted October 7, 2020 Moderators Share Posted October 7, 2020 Congrats...it took me years to finally get into the 'menTelety'...every thing you need, nothing you don't. I started with a copy, mucked around with it [bridge, Kirchen mod], and bought a Fender...still one of my faves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
