| Xotic is a brand founded in LA by Japanese guitar builder Hiro Miura. Domestically, its guitars are loved by many famous musicians, including Yoshiteru Takahashi, BJ of indigo jam unit, and Katsuji Morioka, as well as Chuck Rainey, Rhonda Smith, and Travis Carlton, among others. This is a special guitar custom-ordered by GIB. The XJ series, a Japanese-made line, has been highly praised, especially by studio musicians. While constructed in a generally traditional style, it has some modern updates. The neck joint is positioned slightly differently than usual, which you'll notice when you hold it, makes it easier for your left hand to reach the higher positions. This guitar is designed for modern musicians who use the entire fingerboard evenly. The body is made of alder, with a rosewood fingerboard. The fingerboard is slightly longer and has 22 frets. The finish is lacquer, with a matching headstock in Burgundy Mist, and a Heavy Aged finish. It has a classic feel both in appearance and sound. The tuning machines are HIPSHOT Ultralite. The bridge is usually the original style, but since this was a custom order, we specified HIPSHOT Style B. The pickups are Raw Vintage. They are handmade in California and are characterized by a clear, crisp, and vivid output. They respond more sensitively to the player's fingertips than before. The neck pickup is deeper, the bridge pickup more three-dimensional, and the mix produces a clear, tight low end. The preamp is original to Xotic. Controls include neck volume (active/passive switch), bridge volume (series/parallel switch), passive tone, treble, middle, bass, mid frequency switch, and treble frequency switch. The sound is neat, with just the right amount of bass range and pleasant overtones. It is also extremely playable, rated at a high level overall. Session and studio musicians, in particular, are always in demand for JBs that offer a traditional sound while incorporating modern controls and preamps. However, there aren't many products that meet this demand in terms of quality. The Xotic XJ is one of the ideal solutions to this demand.
