raymeedc Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 ..... & down the block to my Luthier. My black Xaviere XV-560 Thinline arrived today. Incredible value at the $176 I paid for it on their Clearance site. Very good pickups/wood/finish, cheap hardware. I just dropped it off at my local "Master Guitar Builder/Luthier" (doesn't everyone have one down the block from them?), who will be giving it a grind & polish, cutting a bone nut, replacing the tuners with a set of Grover Imperials my brother had lying around (will nicely compliment the Art Deco stepped headstock), a Pigtail aluminum wraparound tailpiece/studs that I had on a Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Special I recently sold, a Gotoh bridge/studs I picked up at Stew-Mac, & a set of Art Deco chrome knobs I found on Ebay. The whole thing, with the original purchase price, should wind up costing me about $500..... these guitars make a great base upon which to build a relatively high quality, personalized, customized instrument for very little money. If this project turns out to my satisfaction, I will be repeating this process soon with an Xaviere XV-600. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raymeedc Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 Pictures! When the guitar is back in my hands (shouldn't be more than a week or so, depending on when it's finished), I'll surely be posting pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
