2020 Xotic XSCPRO-2 - 3 Tone Burst

The Altitude Summary

A beautifully light-relic’d Xotic XSCPro-2 in classic 3-tone burst, this instrument is in excellent condition and offers both collectible appeal and high-end playability. The guitar weighs 7.4 lbs, sits perfectly balanced, and invites you to play from the moment you pick it up. Fretwear is minimal — estimated at about 5 % (95 % life remaining) — and the setup is spot-on with low action, so it sings under your fingers. It comes complete with original SKB hard case, whammy bar, allen wrenches, COA (Certificate of Authenticity), and spec sheet. The Modern C roasted flame maple neck feels silky smooth yet lively, and the tone components deliver expansive sonic versatility.

Tone & Electronics: Vintage Soul with Modern Punch

This XSCPro-2 features an S-S-H pickup configuration: two RV-60 single coils in the neck and middle, and an RV-PAF humbucker at the bridge. These are Xotic’s Raw Vintage hand-wound pickups designed for clarity, harmonic richness, and dynamic response. The switching gives you classic single-coil shimmer in the neck/middle positions, with a warm, full bite when you flick to the bridge humbucker — ideal for everything from jazzier cleans to saturated lead work. The pickups are body-mounted, which helps with resonance and sustain across the tonal spectrum.

Build & Appointment Highlights

• Body: Lightweight alder, carved with classic contours, given Xotic’s light aging (light relic finish) to enhance character without being overdone. 

• Neck / Fingerboard: Roasted flame maple neck and maple fretboard, carved in a Modern C profile.

• Frets: 22 Jescar #55090 (narrow/tall) frets, excellent for bending and expression. 

• Radius: 12" fingerboard radius, which balances comfortable chording with bendability.

• Tuners & Hardware: Gotoh locking vintage-style tuners, Gotoh vintage bridge with Raw Vintage saddles and springs. 

• Pickguard: Parchment 3-ply pickguard (matching the relic aesthetic)

• Finish / Aging: Light relic / aging applied to give a well-loved, broken-in look while preserving playability and structure. 

Playability & Feel

This guitar is a joy under the hands. The roasted maple neck is resonant and stable, with a smooth, fast surface. The Modern C carve offers a nice balance — not too fat, not too slim — and the 12" radius helps keep chords from fretting out even with low action. With the current setup, the low action yields crisp response without buzz, encouraging playing at any dynamic level. The instrument’s weight and balance make it fatigue-friendly for longer sessions. The pickup set gives you a broad tonal palette, so it feels like a tool rather than a one-trick pony.
