It's no replacement for a really well made thing like a Callaham, but
for the money these Xaviere guitars from Guitarfetish are decent
enough guitars. Fender in the 70s sold piece of **** guitars that were
lots worse. If you are looking for a Christmas gift for a kid this
might be the ticket:

For girls they have a nice Pink tele style that will beat the ****
out of a Daisy Rock all to hell.

If she turns out to be a ball busting butch feminist she can always
sand it down and spray it over with OD camo paint from the gun store.
Or find some fey plank spanker whose idols are Erasure and Pansy
Division and swap bodies. These guitars use all 100 percent standard
tech Fender parts.
