This instrument is the NS-5XL, the pinnacle of the USA series, produced at the Woodstock workshop.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs the \"XL\" in the model name suggests, this is a 5-string guitar with a 35-inch scale length.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis longer scale length, combined with the robust neck-through construction, ensures that even the low-B string maintains a clear pitch, producing a tight and massive bass output.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe neck is a maple neck-through construction, and the fingerboard is made of Pau Ferro with beautifully shimmering abalone crown inlays.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe body wings feature an eye-catching combination of a Buckeye Burl top and Black Walnut back, creating an exotic look.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe headstock appears to be Formica, but there is a possibility it is Fiberboard.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe finish appears glossy, but it is likely that it was originally a matte finish that has developed a semi-gloss sheen through years of use.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe body features Spector's signature 3D curved design (NS shape), which feels like it's molded to the body. Maintaining perfect balance whether standing or sitting, this guitar boasts superior playability that reduces player stress even during long stage performances.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt features EMG 40DC pickups and an 18V-powered HAZ (2-band EQ) preamp.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a familiar and quintessential Spector combination.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe sound is characterized by an incredibly dense low-mid range with a slight saturation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is the so-called \"Spector Growl,\" a powerful and distinctive Spector identity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYet, it possesses a moderate level of compression and a hard, fast, tight attack—a truly impressive sound.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhether fingerpicking, picking, or slapping, it cuts through the ensemble with its overwhelming presence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a top-of-the-line instrument, truly worthy of being called a lifelong investment, packed with the pride of the Woodstock workshop.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe frets have approximately 70% remaining.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe truss rod is stiff, but approximately 90 degrees of movement has been confirmed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe neck is in good condition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe body and paintwork show some small dents and scratches on the body and fretboard.
