Xotic Effects are made with a passion for tone and the craftsmanship of a master artisan. The same holds true for our Xotic Guitars and Basses. Master Luthier Hiro-san’s passion for high end custom guitars and basses started before the first Xotic Effect was even conceived. That passion and desire to be a true artisan of his craft has resulted in some of the best built guitars and basses. Even though the success of Xotic Effects has overshadowed our work with the guitars and basses, many people are not aware that artist like Chris Duarte, Eric Gales, Carmine Rojas, Chuck Rainey and Travis Carlton prefer instruments from Xotic. The following documentary provides close up detail of our building process and captures the essence of Hiro’s passion for building. We hope you enjoy.
