Xotic is a brand founded in LA by Japanese guitar builder Hiro Miura.
Its guitars are used by many famous musicians, including Yoshiteru Takahashi, BJ of indigo jam unit, and Katsuji Morioka in Japan, as well as Chuck Rainey, Rhonda Smith, and Travis Carlton overseas.
The XJ CORE is a new series that incorporates a more American nuance.
While the XJ-1T is made entirely in Japan, from sawing to assembly, the Core series is sawn, shaped, and rod-mounted in the US, with painting and assembly taking place in Japan.
Original development began in Xotic USA, with production apparently assisted by Travis Carlton.
This is a classic 5-string JB model.
The body has a classic wood construction: ash and a maple fingerboard.
The pickups are Lindy Fralin, and the bridge and tuning machines are Hipshot.
The paint is the same as the XJ-1T, but the paint on this model feels so thin that you can almost see the piping.
This may be because it is a lacquer finish, not the familiar multi-layer finish.
This model is said to be simple, delicate, and expressive, balancing modern and traditional styles, and that is absolutely true.
When you play it, it feels like the subtle string movements are simply reflected in the sound.
Given this, it makes sense that it was designed as a passive model, deliberately omitting a superior preamp, one of Xotic's greatest strengths.
This is a fantastic JB model.
