    I'd love to play one. Reviews that I've read on the Zemaitis copies have been mixed. But, the prices are right on these new models, and they look cool, too. I'd like to try the cream Tele with the maple fretboard.

    Please forgive my lack of manners. Welcome GG and Adrian!

    Hey, those do look kinda sweet

    I've heard mixed reviews of Xaviere guitars, but mostly from the fanatics over on the Telecaster Discussion Page, TDPRI and you KNOW how touchy Tele players are about their guitars

    From what I hear, the build quality is generally pretty good for a guitar in this price range, certainly on par with many Squiers, SX etc. GFS p'ups get great reviews on this and other forums.

    Hmm... a semi-hollowbody Strat with P90s... must... not... reach... for... credit...card....
    Electrics: Hagstrom Ultra Swede (Gold Eagle Burst) Gretsch 5120 Electromatic (Orange) Custom Nashville Blackout Telecaster (Black, Stat mid/neck p'ups; Lil Puncher (Modern Vintage) bridge p'up; Wilkinson Compensated Bridge w/ 3 brass saddles, Warmoth Vintage Modern Birdseye Maple Neck) Fender MIM Stratocaster (Blue Agave, Rosewood Fretboard, Fender Tex-Mex p'ups; GFS Trem/Block Kit) Highland Spitfire (semi-hollow, flame maple top w/ bubinga inlay)
    Acoustics:Washburn D10CEQSB, Yamaha FG160E
    Bass: Westone Spectrum ST, Warwick Rockbass Corvette Basic Active
    Amps: Vox NT15H/V112NT Night Train, Peavey Bandit 112, Hartke HyDrive 210C Bass Amp, Vox DA5

    I don't know if anyone noticed or not but the backs are not contoured. They are a square edge like a Tele or Les Paul.

    I wonder what "poplar" core means? A multi piece body with the center piece being poplar and the wings something else?

    I think I'll wait for a report.

    The one description I read said that it had a poplar core with maple laminate on all sides. I'm not sure what the point of that would be since it wasn't a transparent finish. The only thing I can think of is that they tried to give it some maple brightness without it weighing a ton.

    I'd go with the Surf Green body and the rosewood fretboard, but we're basically on the same wavelength, Snarph. At a buck-fifty-nine, they've gotta be a steal! GFS doesn't sell junk, from what I've seen....

    As though the universe were responding to my GASeous emissions, these came along just as I was thinking I'd like a P90 guitar. So I just pulled the trigger on one. Surf green tele body with maple fretboard and P90s. I really wanted the red sparkle finish, but they only have those with the Dream 180s.

    Great Ro3b. Now I'll actually (please if you would be so kind) get some sort of idea how their P90's sound. I've been thinking of upgrading one of my P90 guitars but have heard zip about the GFS P90's. Some feed back on these after you get the guitar would be greatly appreciated.

    It's here.

    Very short review: I love it.

    I'll do a longer review after I've had it for a few days.
