This is a really classy Xotic and exactly the sort of guitar that shows why these have such a strong reputation. The XSC-2 sits in a great middle ground where it has plenty of familiar S-style comfort and feel, but with a slightly more boutique, refined edge to the build and voicing. The 3-Tone Burst finish always works well on these, and with the light aged treatment it gives the guitar a nicely broken-in look without going over the top. I also really like the spec here. Alder body, roasted flame maple neck and rosewood board is a great recipe, and the RV-60 / RV-PAF pairing should make it especially versatile, giving you sweeter, more open single-coil style tones alongside a fuller and more muscular bridge sound. Xotic guitars also tend to feel very immediate and responsive in the hands, and that is a big part of their appeal. A very tasteful USA build and a really strong all-rounder.
