Members Noise... Posted July 17, 2010 Members Share Posted July 17, 2010 Scale is the same, and it appears that the upper horn is slightly "stretched" on the Xaviere. FWIW, Jazzmaster Pickguards are drop in replacements, and Jazzmaster necks are supposed to fit as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hangwire Posted July 17, 2010 Author Members Share Posted July 17, 2010 thanks for the info! looks like 2 jazzmaster replacement pickups and changing for a fender with the "lock" actual tailpiece would be getting it as close as you could Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pixelchemist Posted July 17, 2010 Members Share Posted July 17, 2010 JM pups require routing and JM pickgaurds will fit but dont line up perfectly to the body shape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fulcrumpoint Posted July 17, 2010 Members Share Posted July 17, 2010 I like the guitars...I want to pull the trigger on one but I have yet to see a vid or demo of them. I had the same thought of buying one and dropping in a Warmoth or WD JM Neck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members cratz2 Posted July 17, 2010 Members Share Posted July 17, 2010 I've had the hots for the JM clone in surf green/mint green/cream for a while now. I even bought a Highway One strat neck specifically to put on the Xaviere... but I haven't bought it yet. How does the trem feel? The studs solid? Any issues? Does it feel cheap compared to a MIM or MIA Fender? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wulver Posted July 17, 2010 Members Share Posted July 17, 2010 Wasn't there a ton of complaints over the Xaviere offsets when they first came out because the neck pitch wasn't right and the strings were too high? Something like that? Did that ever get resolved? Because gaddamn do I ever want one of their Telemasters.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members brandass Posted July 17, 2010 Members Share Posted July 17, 2010 Yeah, I still have GAS nightmares about the butterscotch telemasters, the orange JM posted above, the green one cratz2 pines for... I'm a hopeless case, have WAY too many guitars for this, but the GAS is relentless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did that ever get resolved?Because gaddamn do I ever want one of their Telemasters.... probably some truth to that... my bridge is as low as it can possibly go and i shimmed the neck to get rid of the crazy high action.

The Telemaster and Jagmaster styled ones are likely normal, as they don't have the roller bridge and floating trem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
