Description

Edit description

Combining vibrant vintage tone and appearance with premium appointments, the Xotic California Classic® XTC series is made by Xotic team, vintage inspired guitar that unites the modern player with a time tested classic.

Nitrocellulose Lacquer Body Our finishes are significantly thinner and lighter in weight than conventional guitar finishes. Nitrocellulose Lacquer is known to have excellent aging characteristics for musical instruments.

Premium Ash and Alder Bodies We went to great lengths to perfect the body shape by researching our favorite period specific contours.

Roasted Maple Neck Roasted maple goes through a long torrefaction process to remove any leftover moisture from the wood to open up the pores and give it more acoustically pleasing properties.

Raw Vintage USA Pickups Custom RV-TE pickups are hand wound at our shop in Sunny SoCal.

Reviewed: Xotic XTC-1 Series Guitar - Mixdown Magazine

mixdownmag.com.au

The Xotic XTC-1 California Classic nails vintage appeal with its lightweight ash body and roasted maple neck, offering a comfortable playing experience. Its hand-wound pickups deliver the essential Telecaster twang, capturing warmth and definition. However, for its premium price, the guitar lacks standout features or innovations, sticking to a straightforward design without modern enhancements like push-pull mechanics. While it’s a well-built, attractive instrument, the lack of unique selling points might leave potential buyers wondering why they shouldn’t opt for a traditional Telecaster instead. A solid choice for purists, yet not groundbreaking.
