The neck is similar to my 2004 Epi LP Standard Plus Top. But it just feels better. I can't really explain why, it just does. It's not as chunky as the neck on my 2007 Gibson Melody Maker. That neck is similar to the Gibson SG Faded neck.

Also, the Xaviere is a fairly bright sounding guitar. The maple cap on the XV700 takes up almost 1/2 of the body. The A2 pickups that I have in there are fairly dark sounding. So together they achieve a really nice balance. Not muddy at all. Very articulate even with a lot of crunch added. The stock pickups weren't bad. But I had the custom wounds lying around so I thought I'd try them. I'm glad I did.

they are the best. simply. fuck all that bumming about buzzing and tiny frets. set up right you can bend all day and trash the shit out of a JM. best tremolo system ever as well IMO...unless you like divebombs :erm:

The overall fit and finish is what really impressed me. I've played countless new guitars that required endless tweaking to play and feel right. I literally unpacked mine, tuned, raised one string and it played like a freakin dream. I do get a slight buzz now and then so I got a mustang bridge to swap in at the next string change but I haven't done it yet since it's not that bad. And you're right, the trem is killer...surf sonic youth killer, not vai killer.

I set my bridge a little on the high side and shim the neck just slightly and I've never had any buzzing whatsoever with the stock bridge. I only replaced the low E saddle with a graphtech one because that string would pop out when finger picking. I know the mustang bridge is the go to quick fix, but I really haven't had any issues with the stock bridge.

p.s. what color did you go for? the JMs and Jags always look so cool IMO in the different fender custom colors

Received mah new Batjag from Lallalateral the other day and it is GR8!
I only had enormous baritione strigns on hand yesterday, so I gave it a shot. fail. 24" is too few.
Anyway, I put a set of 12s on it today, got it about 80% set up. Neck pickup is SD antiquity? Correct? It's really nice and bassy, and actually more articulate and bright than the bridge pickup.

The headstock, which looks like it only says "Fender" also says "jaguar" but its in black, so you have to look reeeeeal close, and that is tits McGee.
Don't ask how long Im going to keep it. Because I'll just say "forever" and then get a bug up my ass and flip it.
Actually, I have a few little mods in mind, a toggle on the lower switches and a buzzstop. I may also switch necks with my jag-stang, because the jag's neck is just a hair thin for my tastes.

It's a sunburst, got it during one of the MF Fender sales. It was the only color option on sale which was fine since that's the color I wanted. I really dig the custom colors tho, and I almost bought a seafoam green at one point.
