This is a really classy XTC-1 and a particularly attractive take on the traditional Tele-style formula. The Sonic Blue finish works beautifully with the rosewood fingerboard.

The neck specification is one of the highlights here, with roasted flame maple paired to a rosewood board, a Modern C profile and a 9.5" radius. The Jescar FW55090 fretwire keeps the playing feel comfortable and familiar, while the roasted construction adds a more premium touch overall.

The RV-TE pickup set is designed to retain the clarity, snap and immediacy you want from a good Tele-style guitar, with enough warmth and balance to keep the neck position useful and musical. Combined with the Xotic T bridge and locking Gotoh tuners, it is a very refined version of a classic format.

A beautifully built California-made Xotic with understated looks, excellent modern playability and just enough light ageing to give it some character.

Excellent condition. The light finish wear and ageing are part of Xotic’s original factory-aged treatment rather than subsequent damage. Beyond the intentional ageing, the guitar presents very cleanly overall with only light signs of careful use. Supplied with its original Xotic hardshell case, certificate of authenticity and factory specification card.
