You all probably dont give a shit but does anyone know a method to get back into an instagram account? I was dumb forgot the password. I love any assistance you can give me
@Musa Finnley I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm trying it out atm. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
Excellent playing. You made each guitar sound fantastic which really shows that much of a players tone is in his fingers. If I had to pick my favorite though it was the Classic Vibe. Love the DC-3 on the wall too.
Thanks you! The necks on the new Classic Vibes feel better in my hands than the new Player Series. The DC3 on the wall was a gift from my son. I started flying when I was 17. Thanks for watching.
All my life I've been a huge Squier fan...I must own over 60 of different types ( and basses too ) but I must say the Xaviere impressed me...It sounds fuller... Probably because of the ash body, the full sustain block and the GFS pickups...
I really enjoyed your playing, Don. I have a few Squiers myself including a 50’s CV Stratocaster and a Standard Series HSS and couple of Bullet Strats. The Classic Vibe and the Standard Series are great playing and sounding guitars. I’m currently mulling over the purchase of a Xavier guitar, I’m just trying to decide which model because I don’t need another strat-style guitar. Thanks for this excellent demonstration.
Hi, Thanks very much. I recently picked up an Xaviere PRO820 Tele since I had a request to review one. This is the model and color I chose. www.guitarfetish.com/PRO820-Dark-Ash-GFS-Tele-PIckups-Maple-Fingerboard_p_32536.html. My first impression is that you can't go wrong for $219. I'm not a fan of the bleached maple neck which is just me and only cosmetic. The fit and finish is pretty good and it plays and sounds like a tele should. The one I received is a bit heavy but my number 1 Tele is also. I'll be doing a quick review on it in a few days. Thanks for listening. Don
Thanks for watching. I have to agree. Please subscribe to my channel and let me know if there’s any other guitars you’d like to see reviewed. Take care.
Don, you are a very good player. I subscribed because I think that you do very useful reviews. I own a Squier C.V. 60's Strat that I like a lot. But honestly, if I had seen this video in 2014, I would have bought an Xavier Strat. The one you played in this video sounded superior I.M.H.O.
Hi Don. This was a great video, however you missed one of the biggest added feature of the Xaviere. These guitars come with a quick plug system which allows pickup swap outs with ease that make for a really nice sounding, playing, and versatile guitar on the cheap. The only downside right now is due to the current supply chain issues most of the quick change pick ups are out of stock. (no I don't work or sell or get payed by Xaviere either LOL)
Hi Andrew, Thanks for watching and good catch. I'm working on a quick review for one of the Xaviere Teles. They really are a bargain. I thought it would be a good idea to buy all the plug and play pickups and review all of them. I don't doubt the supply chain problem. It's affecting everything. Take Care
I noticed that the Xaviere model also comes in a maple fretboard finish. Besides having a lighter color ( looks better in my opinion) are there any advantages over the darker fretboard? Thanks!
Hi There’s really no advantage or disadvantage when it comes to fretboard choices. It’s more a matter of preference. I prefer the look and feel of rosewood or ebony as well as the slightly mellower tone compared to the brighter tone of maple. Ebony is more dense than rosewood and feels and sounds more like maple in my opinion.
The Xaviere is the best value but I preferred the Classic Vibe neck pickup. I have a Xaviere XV910 that I modified, their XV900 is great. My first was a XV700 that I sold to a friend.
Just got a Xav.....550 pro Gold Top... Beautiful playing LP w a Floyd.........it's parked in the Paisley black green case....... Great priced cases also....... fun fun fun til you play someone's Eye out..🦍.....
The color you see at the beginning of the video is pretty accurate. The color during the playing portion is darker because of the lighting. Thanks for watching
I agree.. I had not heard of Garry guitars until I read your message. I'm surprised they can build a guitar and make a profit at $89.. Check out my Musi Virgo review. Thanks for watching.
All guitars are different. All players are different. As long as a guitar stays and plays in tune it's a good guitar. Everything else can be fixed. As for guitar fedish, their site has chinese parts and assembled guitars. I have bought some stuff from them. Cheap mersh, but if that's what you are looking for. But and it's a big but! There is no customer service the entire website is automated there's nobody who works there No one you can talk to if you have a problem. Some guy bought a huge box of Chinese parts from overseas and sells them. So buyer beware! That said their pick ups are cheap and very good
What is this "position 1, or two" crap. How about using something every one knows and can understand, like Bridge, Middle, Neck, bridge and middle, etc.
@@knarfnips7668 Right, I was waiting for your direction. Anything else I should do in my life? Please please give some more of your valuable direction.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, for not burying a guitar demo in distortion/overdrive. So refreshing!
Thanks for listening and I appreciate your comments.

Damn dude this is EXCELLENT playing! Great videos and comparison!
Hey Nate.. Thank You. I checked out some of your videos.. That Tyler amp sounds pretty sweet..
Thanks for your review. I very much appreciate your honesty at the end. I have officially chosen my first guitar.
That’s great! I’m glad you enjoyed the review and hope you will subscribe to my channel. Thanks for watching

Great demo and fantastic picking there Don.
Well done!

Enjoyed the comparison and your playing. Keep it up!
Thank You. Much appreciated.
Great video. For me the Xavier was definitely my favorite, they are fantastic guitars with quality woods and parts!! 👍

Hi Dennis, Thanks for checking out the review. I plan on grabbing a couple more Xaviers to review. Probably a Tele and LP style.
@Don Giroux Would love to see you review an upper level Yamaha Pacifica, like the PAC612VIIFM
I'm actually a big Yamaha fan. I'll keep my eyes out for one. Thanks for watching.
Great review. Thanks!
Thanks Jason
Great critique!! Thanks. Your guitar playing was a joy to listen to. Sorry, but I actually liked the Affinity best. Just my opinion.
Thanks for watching. The Affinity actually played quite well. I think all. Three guitars sounded pretty good considering the price point.
Beautiful review. I just ordered the same GF strat
Great video great insight and superb playing
Thank You

Thank you! This was very pleasant to sit back and hear you play. Cheers.
Thanks much appreciated
Thank you!
Liked your review.
Wish you would review the Xavier PRO840 T-style.
Thanks. I'm looking to pick up an Xaviere T-style soon. Keep an eye on the channel .
Hello, Just posted a quick look at the Xaviere Pro820 Tele
Nice review.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks

I am getting a Fender neck with Jumbo frets, slap on the Xavierre and call it a day
Not a bad idea.. Thanks for watching
Verry Nice playing🤙🎸! A have af affinity but i want to get a xaviere PRO870
Thank You, and I think that's a good choice.
You never said how thick the Xaviere guitar body was, nor did you demo the bridge pickup in both Double and single coil modes.
The Xaviere is the best value but I preferred the Classic Vibe neck pickup. I have a Xaviere XV910 that I modified, their XV900 is great. My first was a XV700 that I sold to a friend.
Thanks for watching. The CV has a nice feel to it as well. I just wish they wouldn't skimp on the electronics.
Just got a Xav.....550 pro Gold Top... Beautiful playing LP w a Floyd.........it's parked in the Paisley black green case....... Great priced cases also....... fun fun fun til you play someone's Eye out..🦍.....
At those prices we should probably buy one of each!
Excellent!
Great demo
Thanks very much
Xavier PRO840 T-style or Squier Affinity Telecaster?
Great video
Thanks very much..
Does the xaviere looks caramel bcs of the lighting or it’s really caramel in colour?
The color you see at the beginning of the video is pretty accurate. The color during the playing portion is darker because of the lighting. Thanks for watching
What, no Glarry? Just kidding, man. Great options. They're all excellent for their respective price points, in my opinion.
I agree.. I had not heard of Garry guitars until I read your message. I'm surprised they can build a guitar and make a profit at $89.. Check out my Musi Virgo review. Thanks for watching.
I love hearing jazz chords on a strat...

Good review, but the Xaviere clearly has a three piece body.
SQUIER. It's SquiER, not SquiRE It's right on the headstock and the neck plate.
Well thanks so much for pointing that out. I made the correction.
What is this "position 1, or two" crap. How about using something every one knows and can understand, like Bridge, Middle, Neck, bridge and middle, etc.
1 bridge and so on to the neck. Pretty standard lingo...
Tony N if you dont know the positions just quit
