The body was given a nitrocellulose lacquer finish and treated with Xotic’s Very Light aging process for a naturally worn-in feel and an attention-grabbing look. The XSC-1’s roasted maple neck is carved into an eminently playable Modern “C” shape, and it’s topped with a 12-inch-radius Indian rosewood fingerboard with 22 narrow-tall Jescar frets for the utmost in finger maneuverability. Both the XSC-1’s neck and its fingerboard flaunt an alluring oiled finish for an organic, low-drag playing experience you’ll be eager to revisit over and over again.Period-correct Raw Vintage single-coil pickups Guitarists here at Sweetwater were slack-jawed upon plugging the Xotic XSC-1 California Classic into our in-house arsenal of amplifiers; its hand-wound Raw Vintage RV60 single-coil pickups serve up some of the most period-accurate tones we’ve ever encountered. And once we got a peek under the hood, it was easy to understand why. It all starts with Alnico V magnets, which are custom treated for superior tone. Next, the RV60s employ vintage-style pushback cloth wire, just like a 1960s original, along with period-correct enamel copper wire with vintage-spec thickness for a lifetime of out-of-this-world tone. Hand wound in Xotic’s California-based workshop, the XSC-1’s Raw Vintage RV60 pickups deliver the quintessential S-style tone with firm lows, punchy mids, sweet highs, and truckloads of harmonic complexity.Top-of-the-line Gotoh hardware with Raw Vintage upgrades The XSC-1 California Classic is replete with top-choice Gotoh hardware. Its Gotoh vintage-style tremolo system offers smooth action and unprecedented tuning stability. Moreover, this trem has been upgraded with high-tension Raw Vintage springs for greater control and a richer tone, as well as with Raw Vintage pure-steel saddles that reproduce the behavior — and, most importantly, the sound — of vintage saddles with spot-on exactitude. You also get a premium set of Gotoh vintage-style locking tuning machines, yielding optimal performance and functionality while also facilitating lightning-fast string changes.Xotic XSC-1 California Classic Features: A boutique-grade, S-style solidbody electric guitar with all the trimmings Recalls the most revered CA-produced instruments of the ‘50s and ‘60s Premium-grade alder body with a nitro lacquer finish treated with Xotic’s Very Light aging process Roasted maple neck is carved into an eminently playable Modern “C” shape 12-in.-radius Indian rosewood fingerboard with 22 narrow-tall Jescar frets Hand-wound, period-correct Raw Vintage RV60 single-coil pickups deliver an authoritative sound that commands attention Gotoh vintage-style tremolo with upgraded Raw Vintage springs and steel saddles Gotoh vintage-style locking tuners yield optimal performance and functionality and facilitate lightning-fast string changes Traditional S-style knobs, 3-ply plastic parchment pickguard, and light-catching nickel hardware Handbuilt in Xotic’s CA workshop SpecificationDetail Number of Strings 6 Left-/Right-handed Right-handed Body Type Solidbody Body Shape XSC-1 California Classic Body Material Alder Color 3-tone Burst Body Finish Very Light Aged Gloss Neck Material Roasted Plain Maple Neck Shape Modern C Neck Joint Bolt-on Radius 12" Fingerboard Material Indian Rosewood Fingerboard Inlay Dots Number of Frets 22, Narrow Tall (Jescar 55090) Scale Length 25.5" Nut Material Bone Bridge/Tailpiece Gotoh Vintage Tremolo with Raw Vintage Steel saddles Tuners Gotoh Vintage locking, 15:1 Neck Pickup Raw Vintage RV60 Single-coil Middle Pickup Raw Vintage RV60 Single-coil Bridge Pickup Raw Vintage RV60 Single-coil Controls 1 x volume, 2 x tone Switching 5-way blade pickup switch Strings D'Addario, .010-.046 Case/Gig Bag Hardshell Case RETURN INFORMATION We want you to be completely happy with your purchase from Sweetwater.
