Xotic California Classic XTC-AH2 Allen Hinds

A magnificent medium aged XTC-AH2 - a fabulous signature instrument from Xotic & Allen Hinds

Hand built in sunny California, the Xotic guitars is all about tone. With only the very best, most acoustically resonant woods selected, each guitar is a hand built masterpiece. The latest addition to this incredible line up is the XTC-AH2 that was developed together with Allend Hinds, and it does not disappoint!

A boutique take on the classic Tele shape, the 2 piece Ash body body is finished in a lush medium aged Butterscotch Blonde. With a nitrocellulose lacquer coating, the body has space to breathe, allowing the beautiful, organic tones from each hand selected cut to really resonate. 

The necks on these are something really special, 1 piece flat sawn Hard Maple. With a Medium C Shape neck profile, 7.25”" radius and 55090 Tall Narrow frets it feels comfortable and familiar. Gotoh vintage style locking tuners and a custom Xotic bridge deliver incredible tuning stability and intonation. 

A pair of Xotic Raw Vintage AH singlecoil pickups delivers vintage Tele tone with a real punch and super clarity. Hand wound on site in LA they have a super wide tonal range with a really distinctive twang. The Raw Vintage pickups are a great feature of the Xotic California Classic XTC-AH2 Allen Hinds.
