I got my xv600 today !
there have been some reviews already so I won't go over all the details again.
The guitar shipped with the truss rod loosened and the strings were set really high with foam between the strings and fretboard. I was a little worried that I might have problems .
after setting the truss rod ,string height and intonation ...WoW! I managed to get the action very low without buzz.
..plays very well , I like the neck. the p-90 pickups are suprisingly good also.
I compared it to annother p-90 equipped and these p-90s are pretty hot.
No problems with the tuners no sticking or binding.
the finish is good no blemishes that I can see, including around the f hole.
the graphite nut seems to be cut properly, I'm going to change to 10's so I will probably do a little tweaking with the slots.
I knocked the glaze off the neck with some wet dry sandpaper, it was so glossy and smooth it was just a touch too grabby for me.
the knobs seem to be of decient quality, but I find myself hitting the toggle switch a little too easy. mabey I can change the tip to a more low profile.
the case is nice and solid, should do the job.
the neck joint is very well done with minimal gap, overall the guitar sounds great. ! I got the surf green model.
