does anyone here actually have a xaviere who can attest to their quality

Yes. It's awesome. Solidly built instrument, not too heavy, great tone especially with the pickups swapped out for the Fatbodies(not necessary, just preference, though the neck PU on the tele copy is a bit weak). Plays very nice, as nice as an MIM Fender to my hand.

I'm sticking with Xaviere for now.

how about the hollow bodies?
theyre the ones that intrigue me the most

Schecter makes some hip looking and well made cheap guitars. They don't have great resale value so you can often get a really hot deal used.
