This guitar was from the very first couple of batches Xotic built and exported to the UK in 2016 through Peach Guitars.
In the early production runs the didn't do shop floor traveller's with full specs, the previous owner contacted Xotic customer services who where very helpful indeed and gave us the full specs which I've listed above.
A really nice lightweight, resonant guitar with appointments which make this a more modern feeling player, with real vintage looks and tone.
Stunning rolled edges to the fingerboard make it feel so comfortable, genuinely feels old and worn in.
The bridge pickup has quite a bit of poke and doesn't have that shrill thin sound often associated with this style of bridge pickup (Montys steel base plate fitted to the bridge pickup)
Please see all attached photos, as I feel these are the best way to describe the condition, it's always hard to describe any relic finish guitar.
I've tried to capture the incredible checking this guitar has, also the finish has those lovely dull patches which you always get on old nitro finishes, it really is very impressive and stands up to any Fender CS/Masterbuilt guitars I've seen and played
This guitar comes in a very heavy duty 5 star flight case, very heavy but practically indestructible.
Collection ideally on this from East Yorkshire.
Willing to post and will be packed very well, but the buyer will have to arrange their own courier with the relevant insurance to protect both parties should the worst happen in transit.
£2350
This guitar will also be listed on Reverb at an inflated price to cover the fee's
Any questions, please don't hesitate to get I touch, if anyone is seriously interested I can gladly send over a video too.
Thanks for looking.

Comments
I believe the previous owner was a very busy working musician, he very sadly passed away and this was the case the guitar was in at the time.
It's probably the best guitar case I've had in 35 years, but I won't lie, it ain't light but could probably withstand a HGV hitting it.
