SOLD- Xotic XTC-1

Fishboy7

Up for sale here is my xotic XTC-1.

Xotic xtc-1 tele in medium reliced white blond with Mastergrade flamed roasted maple neck.

I bought this new from Peach in April 2019 and although I love it in Esquire mode I have made a few non permanent modifications.

I have installed:
Lollar Royal T pickup in the neck for Strat like tones.
Aged single ply white pickguard from crazyparts
Callaham heavy knurled brass knobs
Tele harness from six string supplies

The original parts are all in the case so could easily be switched back to the original configuration at any time.  (The body was pre-routed for a neck pickup.  There are no permanent modifications and can easily be switched back and forth between Esquire and Tele).

The guitar weighed less than 6.5 pounds without the neck pickup.

Condition is excellent.  No fretwear etc.

I'll also throw in that Overdrive Strap as it really suits the guitar.

Thanks Dude, The neck is a shear thing of beauty to behold and even more tactile, sensual and arousing to the touch, but cannot be captured in my photos alas, (.......pouring another gin)

Lovely guitar. I’d have taken it for that neck if I hadn’t read modern c profile. I reckon £1800 is a pretty decent price. Good luck

Presume this is solid body and not the weight relieved version ?

I own a Xotic XSC-2 and it's easily one of the best guitars I've owned. Your Tele looks gorgeous, that mastergrade flamed neck is to die for and the price is fantastic. I can't imagine this guitar staying here for too long

A couple more pics.

It weighs 6lb 6.25oz with the neck pup and (really) heavy brass knobs.  Closer to 6lb without. 


 


Also the control plate screws were getting a bit loose so I have filled the holes with 'kwik wood'.  Thought I'd better mention this as could be an issue for some.

 
Overdrive strap included:


 

By the way, I'm happy to take it back to the original configuration if the buyer prefers.
