About a month ago I ordered a burgandy mist Xaviere that I planned to use the body for a project. The guitar was so nice I decided I would try my luck again and ordered one in Surf Green. Excellent guitar for the money. Full thickness body, alnico pickups, full size trem block etc. Not bad for $209. I added the aged pickup covers.

Those look very nice. How were the frets and neck?
The frets are very nice on the surf green guitar but the burgandy mist had a fair amount of fret sprout. The neck has a 12 inch radius which I like and is a C shape similar profile to my Fender Player Strat.
Love the sea foam green, looks like a steal, well done

In my opinion GFS (Guitarfetish), which sells Xaviere, sells some good stuff for the price, pickups, guitars, stomp boxes. I would especially recommend their site to people who need gear, and are on a tight budget.

Im a fan of GF but, had a Xavier strat that needed considerable work to get it playable. Also, the neck was super thin, obviously a personal preference thing.
I prefer the necks and overall quality of SX guitars. Have bought quite a few of those.

Thanks and I think you are correct it does look a little more sea foam than surf green although it is sold as surf. This 57 Chevy is surf green.
