Xotic XSC-2 California Classic Electric Guitar - 2-tone Burst with Rosewood Fingerboard

California Buildin’: Revel in Xotic’s Handbuilt Guitar Bliss

Produced in the Golden State, the Xotic XSC-2 California Classic is a salivating S-style solidbody electric guitar with all the trimmings you’d expect from a boutique-grade instrument. Carved from a premium-grade slab of alder and covered with a lightly aged nitro finish, this handbuilt axe recalls the most revered California-produced instruments of the ’50s and ’60s. Discerning guitarists will relish the feel of the XSC-2’s Modern “C”-shaped, roasted maple neck, while a 22-fret, 12-inch-radius fingerboard gives rise to what’s sure to be the most inspired playing of your life. No matter what you plug into, the XSC-2’s hand-wound Raw Vintage pickups, which are arranged in an HSS configuration, put an addictive combination of PAF-style hairiness and single-coil spank right at your fingertips, all with complex harmonics and a punchy attack that heartily commands attention. The XSC-2 comes equipped with top-of-the-line Gotoh hardware, including a vintage-style tremolo with upgraded Raw Vintage springs and saddles, along with vintage-style locking tuning machines. Traditional S-style knobs, a 3-ply plastic parchment pickguard, and light-catching nickel hardware round out the XSC-2’s enviable appointments. Players of a certain pedigree demand an equally high-caliber guitar. If you find yourself in this camp, you’ll find the XSC-2 California Classic checks all the right boxes.
