The Xotech EB II Dizeezd Electric Guitar


Back in 2009 I met (via Myspace) a luthier in Maryland who I started chatting to about various guitar sounds and settings. I was on the verge of branching into electric guitars and had never really used them much. So it was nice to speak to someone with a knowledge of the instruments inside and out.
This luthier was Bill Lite of Xotech Guitars.

After a few emails back and forth, Bill offered to create an electric guitar that would have all of the attributes to compliment my style of playing, but retaining a uniqueness leaving me free to experiment.
He began asking a series of questions such as,
"Do you strum more than you pick?"
"What sort of amp will you be playing through?"
"What sort of sounds do you like the most?"

And that really got me thinking about what I expected out of incorporating electric guitar into my repertoire.
For the most part, I was starting to write more dark, heavy-esque songs that I thought would be suited to a crunchier sound, however being a rhythm (acoustic) guitarist, I didn't want the whole tracks to sound muddied by non-stop distortion....So all of this was worth analyzing.
After sending more emails back and forth I left Bill to his own devices and a few months later started receiving pictures in my inbox.
One of the first images of my guitar....
 Bill would send photos as he drew, cut, clamped and built  the guitar and after a few months, while Syren were based in Holland I received a rather large package at the door...


Presenting the Xotech EB II Dizeezd Series Guitar

Made out of Spalted Oak, Mahogany and Blood Wood with a semi hollow body this guitar has a great earthy (woody) sound and it's Fender Lace Sensor pickups combined with a Lace Humbucker give me all the versatility I need to get exactly the sound I'm searching for.
What's most brilliant about this guitar is that Bill chucked in some locking machine heads which keep me in tune!

There's no other guitar in the world like it, but if you want to see your dream realized, definitely get in touch with Bill at Xotech Guitars! :)
