    the jr. is downright erotic. something about the sharper cutaway makes it look even better than the real thing, IMO

    Nice! Cool to see they have a new headstock shape. Wasn't really a fan of the "cloud" one. But yeah, Xavieres seriously rock. I got a XV-870 in fiesta red with a maple fretboard a year ago and I'm still in love with it. I'd definitely like to try another model.

    I dig the Special and the SG, but the Jr doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. Maple and alder? I'd rather play an Esquire.

    Ya thats one thing I really liked about these, I never cared for the other headstocks either.

    they look great! I also hated the headstock they put on the LP/ES style guitars. I have one of their strats and love it. I recently tried one of their semi hollow teles but had to return it. the guitar was way too unbalanced and neck heavy but was otherwise great.

    I'd have no reservations about picking up any one of these new models. GFS will take anything back for a full refund within 10 days and store credit up to 30 days

    that SG is killer but i know nothing about the quality or the feel of Xaviere guitars, and how is it that they can copy the SG shape almost dead on yet the Agile version of the SG looks rounded and soft?

    A wait list for a $199 guitar? Sounds like somebody's leaving money on the table.

    ^ Alder body and a bolt-on maple neck? It's practically a Strat.

    I don't think I'll ever buy a real cheapie again since I did a caveman fret end bevel job on the jagged fret edges of my Kitty strat.

    My picks are these:
