Hoohui Nā alakaʻi ua hoʻokō i ka hoʻonui ʻana i kahi hana honua ʻoiai e mālama mau ana i ka nui o ka hana lima ma US ʻOiai ʻo ka hana ʻana a lākou e hoʻokuʻu aku ai ke hana mau ʻia e ka lima. Hāʻawi ʻo Xotic i nā pakuhi e hōʻike ana i ka pākēneka o kēlā me kēia huahana i puka mai i ka ʻāina, no laila hiki iā ʻoe ke maopopo i ka maikaʻi.
Hana lākou i nā hopena guitar hehi wāwae a me nā kīkā.
Mai nā lā hale kaʻa a hiki i ka manawa nui
I ka makahiki 1996, he hana kanaka hoʻokahi ʻo Xotic i hoʻolaʻa ʻia no ka hana ʻana i nā kīʻaha ma ke awāwa ʻo San Fernando. No ke kū ʻana i waho o ka lehulehu, ua hana lākou i ka Tri-Logic Bass Preamp. Hāʻawi kēia iā lākou i ka hilinaʻi e hana i kā lākou pedal mua, ʻo ka Robotalk 1. ʻO ia kahi arpeggiator random ʻekolu-i-hoʻokahi, kānana envelop, a me ka kānana haʻahaʻa. He pedal kaulana ia i kēia lā a ua loaʻa iā ia kekahi mau sequels.
I ka makahiki 2015, ua hoʻonui ʻo Xotic i ko lākou waihona me ka California Classic guitar series, i hoʻokaʻawale ʻia i nā hiʻohiʻona XTC a me XSC (Telecaster and Stratocaster shapes each). Hoʻohana lākou i ka lehu a me ka alder tonewoods mai ka US 'Midwest and Pacific Northwest, e like me nā mākua hoʻokumu i hoʻohana ʻia i kā lākou mau kī kī. Ma luna o ia mea, hoʻohana lākou i ka ʻāʻī maple i hoʻomoʻa ʻia e hāʻawi i nā kiʻi i kahi manaʻo kūʻokoʻa.
ʻO nā ʻoki ʻoki ʻokiʻoki
Hele pū mai nā kīkā me nā ʻokiʻoki Raw Vintage, ʻeha lima ma ka hale kūʻai ʻo Xotic LA. He ʻano, hoʻouka ʻia a me ke kīkī ʻaʻole ʻoe e ʻike ma kahi ʻē aʻe. Hoʻohālike ʻia lākou me nā leo pickup 1963-style a ua kākoʻo ʻia e kekahi mau mea hoʻokani pila.
Hoʻopau Relic'd
Hāʻawi pū ʻo Xotic iā ʻoe i ke koho o kahi relic'd hoʻopau, ʻo ia ka mea e hoʻāla ai i ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa. Akā, kūpaʻa ʻo Xotic iā ia, me ka ʻōlelo ʻana ua like ia me ke kau ʻana me kahi hoaaloha kahiko a i ʻole ke komo ʻana i kāu mau paʻa paʻa paʻa. Hiki iā ʻoe ke koho mai ka ʻelemakule māmā, waena a kaumaha paha. Eia kekahi, ʻo ka hoʻopau ʻana i ka lacquer nitrocellulose ʻo ia ka mea e ʻoi aku ka ʻoi aku o nā makahiki ma mua o kā lākou hoʻokūkū non-relic'd.
No laila inā ʻoe e ʻimi nei i kahi kīkā me kahi kani vintage a me ka manaʻo, ʻo Xotic ke ala e hele ai. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻopiha i kahi palapala wikiwiki ma ka pūnaewele me kāu mau kikoʻī ponoʻī a ʻike i ka pau ʻana o nā makahiki kūʻokoʻa nou iho.
Panina
He hōʻailona ʻo Xotic i mau makahiki, a maopopo ke kumu. ʻO kā lākou mau pedal kīkā he ʻano kiʻekiʻe loa, a he nui nā koho e kūpono i nā pono o kēlā me kēia mea pāʻani. Mai ka EP Booster maʻamau a hiki i ka Katana Boost o kēia manawa, loaʻa iā Xotic kekahi mea no kēlā me kēia. No laila, inā ʻoe e ʻimi nei i kahi pedal hilinaʻi a maʻalahi, ʻo Xotic ke ala e hele ai! E hoʻomanaʻo wale: ʻaʻole e lawe nui ʻia me nā puʻupuʻu, a i ʻole e komo ʻoe i kahi TREAT maoli!
ʻO wau ʻo Joost Nusselder, ka mea nāna i hoʻokumu iā Neaera a me kahi mea kūʻai aku ʻike, makuakāne, a makemake hoʻi e hoʻāʻo i nā mea hana hou me ka guitar ma ka puʻuwai o koʻu makemake, a me kaʻu hui, ua hana wau i nā ʻatikala blog hohonu mai 2020 e kōkua i ka poʻe heluhelu kūpaʻa me nā ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo hoʻopaʻa leo a me nā kīkā.
