FS: Xaviere XV-870 - $275 shipped
I've got a heavily modded Xaviere XV-870 in surf green and rosewood fretboard with mint green pickguard and cream parts. It's been upgraded with Tonerider Surfari pickups, CTS/Acme 250K pots w/ blender pot, CRL 5-way, Orange Drop cap, Wilkinson vintage bridge w/ steel block, and Wilkinson EZ Lock tuners. It had a fret level and crown maybe 8 or so months ago. It comes with a cheapish gigbag that gets the job done.
This is an absolutely incredible Strat that easily blows away MIM Strats. I really like this guitar, but I just can't get used to the 1 11/16" nut width. I wrap my thumb around a lot for playing the low E, and it's hard for me on a 1 11/16" width. I'm also not a huge fan of rosewood and much prefer maple.
Pics are up in following post. I've found that surf green is impossible to photograph accurately. I suppose the first pic is the closest, but it's still a touch greener, I suppose. I'll also note here that I have the original white pickguard, white knobs, and back plate. I don't have the original pickup covers (or pickups) or the switch tip. Also, the current knobs do not perfectly match the other aged white parts. They're a bit darker; I apparently left them in the coffee for too long. If you're picky about it, you'll probably have to spring the $6-7 and get a new pack.
