$199? That's a sweet deal! I just wonder what the GFS pups sound like...

Still waiting on the offsets...

Cool looking Tele though. HCEG seems to love the Xaviere guitars.

Rumor on the HC forum is that the offsets will be available by Nov. 6.

Looks really nice for the price, like to hear some reviews first tho. Just being picky but wonder why they went with a mini bucker and not a full size like keef uses...they have the resources.

I figure they were going for the '52 hot rod vibe as well...that's what originally attracted me. I've always wanted the hot rod but after Fender jacked the prices I forgot about it.

Oh and pics of the offsets leaked today...

I dig the 52 HR but yeh, prices scared me away and I have a humbucker in my tele already so that pretty much satisfies me.

Now those offsets really got my attention. I'm a sucker for p90s. :love:

Those are some awesome offsets. If they make a sunburst Jag-like model I'd be all over it in a second. :joy:

:love: It's everything I've ever wanted in a Jazzmaster! No extra switches! If only it were a hardtail...

The GFS pickups are bomb. I have a set of humboogers and a set of P90's from them. Good stuff!

I really like that cream offset.
No basses though.

Are these Xaviere guitars actually playable?

I mean, the prices are so low that it seems WAY too good to be true.

They are indeed very playable...there are guys that swear by them and prefer them to anything else.
They aren't the end all be all axes they advertise them at, but with a few upgrades they could be. For the price you can't complain too much about electronics or hardware.

There is the chance you get a dud because QC isn't exactly amazing at that price point, but the owner is pretty cool about getting you fixed up with a new one that you like.
