For a couple years I've been dancing around buying an Xotic XSC-2, their version of a "Strat". I have a decent ash body with a Warmoth roasted maple neck with compound radius and modern profile, that sustains like crazy, and feels great, that I realized was pretty much what Xotic uses, so I switched the bridge to a similar design, and love the sound, but there's always something going on with the guitar, it's too fiddly, so I just don't trust it.
I was roaming through Reverb the other day and found some nice looking new guitars at a place near L.A., and "hearted" them, and didn't think anything else about it. Last weekend the shop made me an offer I couldn't refuse, but it was on one of the guitar colors I considered a fall-back color if the one I really wanted sold… a Lake Placid Blue model. It was listed at the same price as the other colors, so I took a chance and asked if they'd extend the offer to that guitar, and they accepted it. I mentioned it to my S.O. who said, "So buy it!". So I did.
Peach Guitar's shootout and knowing the quality of the Raw Vintage pickups and parts sold me on it. These aren't as well known as other household-name guitars, they're made to sound very traditional, like early 60s Strats in a SSH configuration.
