Because one person had a bad experience with one guitar does not qualify that a whole line of guitars are junk. Heck, I have heard more negative things about Gibson than about Xaviere! I am a new user here, but a long time player, having been playing for 47 years. I have all kinds of guitars, high end and low end. Fenders (American and Mexican) Gibsons, Epiphones, PRS and others. I am very pleased with my Xaviere XV 620. I have not changed a thing on it. Great sound, great price. I really think these folks have found a way to produce a very, very nice guitar at a low price. By the way I have two Agile guitars, a company that as mentioned earlier and they make great guitars as well. When I was a teenager, a cheap guitar could not even be played. Times have changed. I have spoken to Paul Reed Smith himself about the quality from the Asian guitar factories. He said, "They will make exactly what you want, exactly to your specifications."

My two cents
