XV-550 Series SOLID Carved Maple Semi Hollow Highly Figured Quilt Tops
The Xaviere XV-550 is a unique blend of solid body and hollowbody. A solid mahogany body is routed to create a hollow interior. No wood is removed beneath the bridge and tailpiece for maximum sustain and resistance to feedback. Elegantly carved and bound in cream binding sporting a highly figured Quilt maple veneer. GFS Crunchy Pats cover everything from modern rock to vintage blues.
Each XV-550 features medium Jumbo nickel-Silver frets- leveled and dressed at the factory for great playability, and a long tenon glue-in neck. The 550 is a supremely versatile guitar, its twin humbuckers producing everything from soft jazz the blistering rock and roll.
The Mother-of-Pearl Xaviere logo nicely compliments the elegant Stairstep headstock. Chrome hardware and vintage amber bell knobs complete the classic look. We select our woods for quality, figuring and overall weight. Most XV-550's weigh in the 7 1/2-8 lb range.
