This Xaviere Pro500 is a good choice if you are looking for a LP style guitar. You can find a new one at guitarfetish.com I'm playing thru a Two Rock Jet35.
I bought a blemished PRO-510 from Guitar Fetish. The 510 has the quilted top but is otherwise the same as the 500. It was delivered today and is still in the box in my living room. Supposedly the blemish is a crack in the binding at the third fret. Total price was $236.02. I'll try to edit this comment tomorrow once I try it out.
@@Bluesgtar Gah! Sorry for not following up! I really like the tone. It's also a great player but that's after a bit of work. Some of the fret ends on the treble side were sharp. Two frets needed leveling. The listed blemish is miniscule. The unlisted blemishes are several scratches on the fretboard at the 14th-17th frets and what appears to be a smudged thumb print in the neck glue, under the clear coat. The neck was good. Intonation was good except for the A string. I filed down two frets, lowered the action, and changed strings. That sounds like a lot but overall I am pleased. It's 5:30 in the morning on a Saturday and I woke up excited to go play it.
I guess that's good news lol. I paid $199 for the PRO500 in the review. I found it used at Guitar Center, where I find most of my reviewed guitars. I haven't had a chance to list it but I'd sell it right now for $150... or a bottle of really good tequila. I think the Xaviere guitars are well worth the money. If you haven't watched it you should check out the Strat comparison review that I did a while back. The Xaviere Strat was the star of that show in my opinion. The only problem with the bargain brand guitars is resale... But... if it's a great guitar for under $300 brand new.. why sell it ?? Thanks for sharing your story.
@@Bluesgtar I'll check it out! And this morning I did file down the nut slots on the G and B strings to keep them from going sharp. But I had to do the same thing on my American Pro II Strat 🤔
I bought that LP used at Guitar Center... But I recently purchased a new Xaviere Tele from Guitarfetish. I ordered it on 9/3, it shipped on 9/11 and was delivered on 9/14. Looks like it takes them about a week to ship..

just got a blemish on clearance for $191 with a spring cleaning coupon, can’t wait!!
How long did it take to ship out for you?? I got mine about a week ago and still haven’t gotten any updates on shipping. Thank you!
