 2023 O3 Guitars Xenon Blue Carve Top
Behind the o3 seal lies the work of Spanish luthier Alejandro Ramirez who produces electric guitars and basses. His work merges traditional woodworking, finish, and tuning techniques with modern computer design processes and innovative instrument characteristics. Each individual instrument is distinct from the last, and all are completely customizable with various wood types, hardware options, finishes, and custom inlays. The result is an inimitable, one-of-a-kind masterpiece, each with its own concept and personality.
The Xenon series boasts a completely unique body-shape, like Alejandro's other models. This specific guitar is the first Xenon with a carved top, and was produced for NAMM 2023's Boutique Guitar Showcase. With world-class appointments and unbelievably clean curves and lines, this guitar is truly the definition of eye-candy.
Where the neck meets the body is remarkable, showing various woods and the expertise behind its maker. The inlays across the fretboard are reminiscent of Steve Vai's JEM vine inlays, but with a modern molecular theme. The inlays are a combination of woods and stone, with the stones acting as fret markers. The Multiscale fretboard is a dream to play, coupled with the Evertune bridge (keys included) really makes this guitar something of shredder's masterpiece. Alejandro was very proud of this guitar, and put his heart into making it just perfect for the NAMM show. Â
