Xotic California Classic XSC-2
FOR A LONG TIME
I only knew Xotic to be an effects company that specializes in wickedly great preamp and boost pedals. I have seen many players whom I respect use Xotic’s revered AC and RC Booster pedals and the very popular BB Preamp in their pedal boards because of their incredible transparency in tone.
But surprisingly, I didn’t know Xotic also makes vintage-inspired guitars and basses, all of which are hand built in Los Angeles, California. I recently had the opportunity to check out the Xotic California Classic XSC-2, which combines Xotic’s proprietary Raw Vintage pickups and hand-selected tone woods for a completely modded S-style guitar with classic looks.
