Xotic is a brand founded in LA by Japanese builder Hiro Miura.
In Japan, it is used by Yoshiteru Takahashi, BJ of Indigo Jam Unit, and Katsuji Morioka, and internationally, it is used by many famous musicians such as Chuck Rainey, Rhonda Smith, and Travis Carlton. (Title omitted)
The XJ series has been highly praised by studio workers as a line made in Japan.
It's basically made in the Fender manner, but with some modern updates.
The position of the neck joint is a little different from normal, and when you hold it up, you'll notice that it's easier to get your left hand into a higher position.
This is an arrangement for modern musicians who use the entire fingerboard evenly.
This individual was manufactured in 2016.
Classic configuration with Ash body and Maple fingerboard.
The tuning machine is HIPSHOT Ultralite.
The PU and preamp are original from Xotic.
Its passive-like texture is highly praised.
HRI is mounted under the pickguard.
HRI (Hum Reduction Inductor) has the function of solving the problem of hum noise while maintaining the tone of single coil pickups.
The sound is neat, with plenty of bass and pleasant overtones.
The playability is also very high, and the overall level is high.
Especially for session and studio musicians, modern JBs with a traditional sound are always in demand.
However, there are not many products that meet this requirement in terms of quality.
I think Xotic XJ is one of the products that will be the best solution to that demand.
Approximately 85% of the frets remain.
The truss rod works well.
The neck is generally straight and has good playability.
The condition of the body and painted surface is good overall, although there are some minor scratches.
The electrical system is in good condition.
The master volume pot and balancer pot have been replaced. The knob has been replaced.
