Peach Guitars Visit Xotic Guitars | Full Factory Tour!

If you’ve followed Peach Guitars for any amount of time, you’ve probably heard us raving about the Xotic California Classic range, you’ll have seen our posts or watched a video and probably wondered what all the fuss is about. To keep it simple, these are some of the very finest vintage inspired guitars around, an absolute tone seekers dream! Earlier this year we flew out to Southern California to meet the Xotic team and tour their state of the art facility! So sit back, relax and enjoy the video

Jack is ALIVE!

We'd hope so. But don't get too excited, this footage was filmed back in January!

[@steveburroughs7343]

Xotic are great guitars - perfect blend of vintage with modern appointments. Love them.

[@christiancatedral1141]

Ordered a xotic xcs-1 a few weeks ago. I’m excited even though it will take 5-6months. 🎸🤘🏼

[@clausherther]

This was fun, I've been such a fan of my Xotic XTC!

[@Steinstra-vj7wl]

They can "produce" this many guitars because their bodies and Neck are made by another company. So they basically do nothing but paint and assemble Strat and Tele guitars. This is also the reason they cannot offer much Custom options.

Jack... Jack! Come back... come back..... I'll never let go. I promise.😢

[@kaneo67]

oh my goodness, that was awesome

[@user-tx1ec9wb1z]

Like you know we sometimes huff some.nitro on our lunch break like you know.

[@srh361]

So they buy already made body's and necks?

[@ianthomas4568]

SVL guitars get their necks made in America!

Jack has a pretty good game face but the disappointment in what he saw is hard to hide. Honestly, those Xotic guys didn't seem prepared for a tour.

[@LysanderLH]

My observations too. In my experience (I own a light aged XSC-1), Xotic are very good at marketing and advertising but build is fairly standard (mine had a wrongly cut nut from new) and support is just not there. Jack is very diplomatic. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Peach stopped stocking Xotic.

[@netzarim1277]

I like the experiment body! And it’s been sitting there for a while!! Put a neck on it and send it right over. I’d love to have it. For the right price of course

[@wildmilne]

i have 3 of their guitars, love them, sound great, play great, look great...but that was weirdest "factory tour" ever.

[@skeletor2000]

I like the look of this factory? Don’t understand the negative comments! I have an Xsc2 that is basically all I play!

[@Echoes-]

Partscasters getting assembled in a portable building, very boutique.

[@skeletor2000]

@@Echoes- nice glad you agree man

[@LysanderLH]

Does Xotic make their own bodies and necks or assemble and finish generic parts or parts made just made for them? I’m very confused about exactly what they do because they don’t appear to be making anything themselves. As for their Plek machine, the nut on my XSC-1 was wrong out of the box and when they eventually responded, their advice was to use superglue and to buy a nut file!

[@kamarienedwards1757]

Are you presuming they just build overly priced kits?

[@LysanderLH]

@@kamarienedwards1757 Have you seen any evidence that Xotic carve their own bodies and necks from blanks?

[@LysanderLH]

to follow up on this, I emailed Xotic who told me that they do make their own bodies and necks.

[@jlc1135]

Jack is back!!!

[@lazvt8469]

old vid??

[@ShadowhandofDune]

I was interested until I looked and saw they are one of those companies that charges hundreds of dollars more for a lefty. I'll keep with Tom Anderson and Suhr, they don't discriminate.

[@gregs8685]

Discriminate lol. They’re a small operation and I’m sure it costs more to do a lefty. Why should they give you a discount and not give right handed players a discount?

[@leoolivero963]

If "discrimination" was the reason, they wouldn't even make lefties 🤣

[@TommyFedak]

Jack!

[@allensaunders449]

San Fernando valley

[@dividedbytimestudios]

Yea I think we were better off not seeing the tour, takes away from the mystique of their guitars

[@lazvt8469]

Has anyone ever seen a truly aged guitar that looks like the factory aged ones? hmmmm.... if so....1 in a million. So, why the hub-bub over relic'ing??? I'm getting a used LSL tomorrow...lightly aged which will look 'natural' and cause me to NOT worry about adding scratches and dents.....and the level of relic'ing didn't cost original owner/me a mint. Oh,...I miss Jack.

[@timcat88]

What a strange atmosphere, all the employees seems in a very strange mood. I couldn't find passion or happiness in their faces.... very strange...

[@stevedgolfer]

Easily the worst guitar factory out there. Looks like a portacabin / slap up of rooms. No detail of process. No thanks.

[@MF-qn2og]

WTF - they are still a small business. Bob Taylor and Kurt Listug started out in a small shop at the beginning of Taylor Guitars. I have an Xotic XSC-2 and the quality and tone is as good as my Fender Custom Shop guitars. As another person commented though, they did not look like they were prepared for the tour or used to giving tours of the shop.

[@adhaskym.a9536]

Americans, nice set of teeth. British, God damn.

[@michaelpham5146]

Whoa, that was a really crappy tour. Bunch of rambling, and meaningless words from the workers at Xotic; no substance. Damn, that was cringey and disappointing. In comparison, LSL has a much more interesting and satisfying tour.

[@matthewedwards1089]

Lots of regulation and red tape is socialism. Hang on, they are in the People's Republic of California. Socialism writ large

[@MF-qn2og]

"Socialism - a political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole." Government or corporate regulations for worker and/or consumer safety is not socialism. BTW, California's economy (if ranked as a country) is about 5th largest in the world. You think results like that comes from socialism? EODWY
