Xotic is a brand founded in LA by Japanese builder Hiro Miura.

In Japan, many famous musicians use Xotic guitars, including Yoshiki Takahashi, BJ from indigo jam unit, and Katsushi Morioka. Internationally, many famous musicians such as Chuck Rainey, Rhonda Smith, and Travis Carlton use Xotic guitars. (Titles omitted)

The Core series employs a hybrid manufacturing method, with wood milling and truss rod installation done in the USA, and painting and assembly done in Japan.

This particular instrument is a special model custom-ordered by GIB.

This unit, originally sold new, has returned as a used item.

The body is made of ash, and the fretboard is rosewood.

The finish is a lacquer in a blonde color that allows the wood grain to show through.

The XJ Core is characterized by its simpler, more traditional feel.

The pickups are made by Lindy Fralin.

A custom-wound model with slightly more windings is used.

The preamp features a Bartolini XTCT.

It delivers a sound that combines crispness and power.

A string retainer has been added to the 5th string.

While the XJ-Core is fundamentally a passive style, this model excels at creating more aggressive sounds.

Both the sound and playability are as smooth as silk.

It's a beautiful instrument.

The Core series is less popular than the XJ-1T, but it undoubtedly possesses top-tier potential.

This is a supreme instrument that you'll want to nurture over a long period of time.
