Not my cup of tea either.

Wait until you see Frusciante play one, then I bet you'll change your mind!  :lol:

Theres threads about these on the TDPRI and also on the Squier 51 forum. Theres a guy on there piecing them together using USACG bodies and they look stunning to me.

I had thought of going the more budget route, by getting hold of one of those Jazzmaster style guitars that the likes of Stagg and Wesley do, taking out the p/ups, slapping a tele style neck and bridge on and seeing what happens. I would have to use a pickguard though.

The Jazzmaster - Jag body shape is weird; it looks bland and dated as a Jazzmaster but can look really cool when you do other things with it. I think that the Telemaster idea looks really neat; I might even make one. I've made quite a few Jag style guitars with 25.5" Strat style necks, TOM bridge and tail piece and a BKP MQ P90 and a Nail Bomb. It's a style I wouldn't have crossed the road to look at a few years ago but I now have one Myself. Pic attached.

Check the guitarfetish site this friday (the 6th).

They are going to launch some new Xaviere guitars.

One is a Telemaster and one is a Jazzmaster with P90's.

Some sneak peaks.

Nice Jazzcaster, I suppose I could swap my previously spec'd P90 for a mini-humbucker  :wink:

Not sure about blue but there will be surf green.

Both around the $200.- mark.

Don't curse me for posting this. I already cursed the guy who told me.

I'm not in the market for a Telemaster but a Jazzmaster with P90's for $200 is rediculously GAS inducing.

Curse you anyway!  :lol:

I may just get one of those Telemasters.  It'd make a nice change to buy something cheap for fun rather than spending loads of money.

I think I may just have unconsciously spent "around $200".  Rats. :)

Any body knows anything about these Xaviere? As far as I know this price is in USA, there is a UK dealer?

I think they're exclusive to Guitarfetish, but I could be wrong.

Having said that, they're presumably made at some big far-eastern (Chinese?) factory which churns out stuff under loads of different brand names (Agile for example?).
