Thanks Oliver , feel free to share :)
I just discovered xotic , really digging this XSC-2 , and I’ve been around a while, what I don’t have is a strat with a humbucker, this guitar sounds amazing and of course your playing is stellar 👍
Surfrby Thank you very much. This is a great guitar.
I just finished my guitar parts on a track for my album with this guitar Yesterday - awesome tones IMO. Great single coil and vintage HB tones - just lovely 😊
Great video, playing, and song composition, Nuno style :o)
Also very cool “cut to the chase” showing the different sound parts.
The combination of Raw Vintage and No Fret Buzz is incredible,, Resonate at max and brings life to the alder woods,, a deep sweet and beautiful tone. Today’s No.1 choice of guitar, no doubt.
Best tone I’ve heard in ages
Thank you :)
Cool demo of a cool guitar! Thanks for letting me try it out the other day... :-)
Thanks Martin. It was great fun. We turned some knobs on that Marshall amp 😀
Great playing and great guitar Simon
Thank you. And yes it is a fantastic guitar ;)
Gorgeous guitar!
It is - the Best!
Nice playing and production man! Really enjoying your channel. Love the looks of that guitar too!
Thank you Kris. I am glad you like the video and my channel. And that guitar is getting better and better every day the more I play it. Cheers
Awesome playing, awesome review and awesome guitar.
Thank you, Thank you and YES :) It is a wonderful guitar. Plays fantastic and sounds really good. With a really fat neck like I wanted (Fat D shape, 10inch radius)... And those RV pickups are just AWESOME. Cheers Simon

I have an XS-1 and the claims in the video are all true! Great playing and tone BTW!
Thank you Trevor :)
Spot on Trevor, got an XS-2 :o)
Hi Simon, this sounds amazing. Can you tell me if the hum bucker taps for a single coil sound too? particularly in the no 2 position. Ive looked on the Xotic website but can't find the answer...
Bill Sherrington Hi Bill. Thank you :) No tab with this humbucker. I have asked about a 4 conducter wire pickup, but right now it´s not an option. The pickup sounds very good and also great in pos 2 with bridge and middle, but it is not the bright single/single sound. Makes it great for crunch tones. Cheers
Simon Gotthelf Gear Demos thanks for the reply Simon
Thanks for a fast reply. I am interested to order one, thus alder body and maple fretboard goes well together?
Manuel Borg everything in this guitar is just great and it is light weight too. That roasted maple neck is the way to go :)
Nice video, great "grab to go for any gig" guitar. I had these locking tuners too, but changed it for Sperzels. I found these top locking tuners not easy enough to use for a quick string change.
Thanks :) I am use to these tuners, so I don´t really think about it. On my old strat I have Sperzel and they work great too and very fast when changing strings. Cheers
This is such a killer sounding guitar !! And your playing is outstanding !
-> Which overdrive/distorsion are you using to sound that well?
Hettar Strat It is a fantastic guitar with a very big neck. Tone for days. From memory I believe it was my Komet 60 amp and nothing else
Nice playing as always Simon and beautiful guitar.What single coil pickups are you using the rv-50 or the rv-60.
Manuel
Manuel Borg thank you :) these are the 60s. Cheers
Fantastic demo track Simon, and beautiful guitar. I've been interested in these guitars since seeing them on a NAMM video earlier this year. Are they made to order? I can't actually find one for sale! I'm also wondering if Xotic do any custom options like neck profile and fretboard radius.
Thank you very much :) It is a fantastic guitar and this one was made to my custom order. You can also buy through reverb.com
My fretboard and neck are fatD shape 10R. Amazing instrument. Cheers
Great Simon ... some Nuno flavas ...
Soren Reiff Thank you 🙏 yes, we love Nuno 😊 Pornograffitti is one of my favorite albums of all time
Hi! Are the single coils noiseless in the XSC-2 or any noise cancelling in the guitar?
Nathan Townsend Hi Nathan. Nope, no noise cancelling. Cheers Simon
Simon Gotthelf Gear Demos thanks for the reply! I’ve never much liked noiseless single coils anyway! Beautiful sounding guitar 👍
Nathan Townsend me neither. I would love to try some noiseless pickups with this classic strat sound but I have never found any that I really liked...
Nice playing Simon. Love the XSC-2. What neck profile and radius do you have on that neck?
Gottfried Brux Sorry for the late reply. This has a fat D shape. Really good. Cheers
I'm close to maybe trading my Gibson ES 335 with Xotic, but i'm really not sure. Any help anyone :) ?
Hi, thanks for this video. Great sounding guitar.
I have a question, maybe you will find the time to answer it.
Is there a treble bleed on the Volume Pot (Capacitor and maybe a resistor)?
Or does the guitar losing High Ends when you turn down the Volume Pot?
Oliver Szekely Hi Oliver. Thank you :) It is as you say a fantastic guitar. I don´t know if there is a treble bleed to be honest, but it does not cut a lot of high end when you turn down the volume pot. I think it cleans up really well and I actually always run the volume pot to control the amount of gain. Just my way of playing :) I always play loud with quite a bit of gain and the turn down the volume to clean up and go from from crunch to lead. Ever since I bought my ´64 VOX AC30 I have been playing like that and it is the same with the Komet amps...full blast :) Cheers
I want that guitar!
Emilio Conesa You should go and get one :)
Hey Simon. Was going to trade my Suhr strd for a xotic like this but I’ll pass. I already have a Suhr S custom SSS that already cover the area.despite you sound very good , especially with Komet amps
Can I ask you Simon: whats your thoughts on maple vs rosewood fretboard?
For me there is no doubt at all. I prefer maple. I wasn´t really aware of this until I ordered a Custom Rahbek guitar some years ago. I wanted this White strat with maple neck mostly because of the look, but when I got it I could hear a difference that I really like. I have since then tested a huge amount of great guitars and 99% of the time the maple neck guitars were the ones I gravitated towards.
I have this Xotic guitar with a killer roasted maple neck and I just recently got a Custom Tele from Greenriver guitars with a maple neck (with tru-Oil). I like the top end and clean sound of the maple :)
Cheers Simon
Simon Gotthelf Gear Demos thats really interesting. The Exotics are pretty dark, so not this bright Maple’ish neck. That probably helps, cause I alway feels it easier for me to navigate on a rosewood fretboard. But its just visuals, but still. Maybe I should try it out on the Exotic :-)
Gos wo You should. Amazing guitars :)
Simon Gotthelf Gear Demos well now I know exactly what you mean. Ohhhh what a great guitar, and such an amazing neck. 60 single coils, but had to go with rosewood freetboard :-)
Good day Simon. Very tasty playing and wicked groove there mate! What’s the colour of that guitar? Thanks
Lelov facebook.com/154439567928685/posts/2509578989081386/ Mine is very much like this one. A little less relic though. Great guitar. Thanks :)
That guitar player is a smooooooooooov dood,...serious-LY o.O Play dat funky stuff,...
Awesome guitar! congrats! a question: the pickups are noisless? Where's the truss rod adjustment? thanks.. bye
Thank you. Pickups are not noiseless (other than the humbucker), but it is not a problem. They are not noisy at all. Adjustment is under the pickguard. But the guitar was perfectly adjusted when I got it straight out of the box.
Thanks for your answer! .. I'm considering to buy one of these guitars .. the information you gave me is very helpful
+myworldmyrock You should. It is a fantastic guitar. I will check it out live too this saturday. Will be fun
+Simon Gotthelf Gear Demos My friend one last question: what color is the guitar? daphne blue?
+myworldmyrock This guitar is Sonic blue Aged :)And just beautiful
👍👍👍👍👍
Great sound Simon, where did you it?
Dieter Kaufmann Thank you. I got it through www.pedaler.eu who is the Danish dealer of Xotic products. Cheers
Thanks Simon. Guess it's an ash Body?! Why did you choose ash instead of AH's one, which has an alder Body? Really a pleasure listening your vids!
Dieter Kaufmann Mine has an Alder body too. Thanks again :)
what is the neck radius etc etc....?
1022rebelreddog it is a 10R Fat D shape neck. A lot of wood and just amazing. Cheers
Looks like a Smitty custom classic Strat to me!! Lol
That could be any guitar with that amount of gain. Once again the true voicing of the guitar is lost .
Danny Varga Well, I love distorted guitar ;) you can check out my other demos with less overdrive. Or even better try an Xotic guitar, you will love it with and without gain. Cheers
Mud tone to me.
Airbloom Amplifiers I use this guitar in a lot of videos, maybe you prefer some of the other tones 😊
Like this one maybe?

Simon Gotthelf Gear Demos this guy comments this crap n so many great videos from jealousy as his channel is vintage les Paul’s and amps and he can’t play them for crap and gets constant downvotes. Your guitar f ing rocks man, don’t listen to the jealous old dude
