This is a wonderful guitar which you can take anywhere without worrying
about temperature or humidity changes. Leave it in the trunk of your car, on
your boat, or play outside around the campfire it's always in tune, has
fantastic play-ability and wonderful sound. There is no truss rod because it
isn't needed. The guitars are made from carbon fiber and have stainless steel
fret wires that will never wear out.
This guitar features the L.R. Baggs Active Element pickup system. Unlike
typical undersaddle acoustic guitar pickups that are dependent on string
compression for their sound, the Element was engineered to mirror the
soundboard’s actual movement as you play. At the heart of the pickup, a flexible
film sensor only 2 thousands of an inch thick picks up the guitar’s most
delicate nuances. Tracking the motion of the top rather than a direct string
attack suppresses “quack” caused by compression and unlocks the Element’s
unrivaled dynamic range. The pickup’s minimalist construction lessens any
influence on the acoustic properties and creates an intimate coupling between
the pickup and guitar for the highest fidelity possible.
Plek setup from the factory
In an effort to offer the best-playing,
best-sounding acoustic guitars on the market, Composite Acoustics puts every one
of their instruments through a computerized Plek Pro setup. The Plek system
takes measurements of each guitar, perfectly levels and crowns each fret, and
cuts the string nut at the ideal height and width for a perfectly set up
instrument. And thanks to the carbon fiber construction, it stays that way with
no variation.
Modern, man-made materials create an
ultra-stable instrument
Acoustic guitars made from wood have always
been plagued with temperature and climate issues. If it's too humid, your guitar
sounds muddy, and if it's too dry, it can experience shrinkage and cracking. And
let's not forget that hot and cold can also wreak havoc on your instrument.
Composite Acoustics has eliminated all of these annoyances by building an
acoustic guitar out of carbon fiber. Carbon fiber is a lightweight and
super-strong material used for everything from Formula One race cars to
airplanes. Besides being immune to climate and temperature issues, the strength
of carbon fiber means you'll never have any "bellying" on the top or ever have
to adjust your neck.
Tailored acoustic guitar tone
Another great aspect of the Composite Acoustics
Xi carbon fiber acoustic-electric guitar is its sound. Whether you play it
acoustic or electric, the Xi has a great voice and tonality. Extensive design
and testing has led Composite Acoustics to find the perfect formula for amazing
acoustic sound. And since every guitar is created using exact tolerances, thanks
to modern manufacturing techniques, they all have that killer acoustic voicing.
The body and neck are created as a single piece, which gives the Xi maximum
tonal transfer. The top uses carbon fiber bracing to give you the perfect
acoustic sound for any style of music. Even the bridge and saddle are precision
made from carbon for maximum sound and vibration transfer.
Constructed with laser precision
Modern technology creates greener houses,
smaller computers, and more economical cars, so why not a better guitar?
Composite Acoustics utilizes the latest in modern production technology to build
the Xi acoustic-electric guitar. These American-made guitars are built to
extremely strict tolerances using CNC machines, CAD design, and laser-cutting
devices that give you the perfect instrument. The Plek Pro fret-leveling process
creates an outstandingly playable fretboard. You won't find a more precisely
made guitar on the market than the Composite Acoustics Xi.
A hassle-free guitar
Traditionally constructed guitars need lots of
care and babying from the elements and climate. The Composite Acoustics Xi's
unique carbon fiber build makes it impervious to weather and climate conditions.
You won't have to worry about shrinkage, cracking, or expanding. In fact, you
never have to oil your fingerboard or humidify a carbon fiber guitar. Carbon
fiber is a stable and ultra-durable material, making it perfect for traveling
musicians. The top of the Xi won't split down the center in dry climates and
won't warp or swell in wet climates. The reliability and stability of the
Composite Acoustics Xi is something most guitarists will appreciate. You can
keep it in your car all day long no matter what the temperature. The Composite
Acoustics Xi is perfect for camping, festivals, and any outdoor
gig.
LR Baggs electronics give you plenty of sonic
control
You can shape the sound of your Composite
Acoustics Xi acoustic-electric guitar for virtually any scenario with LR Baggs
Active Element electronics. The ultra-thin film sensor is only 0.002" thick,
which allows it to pick up the nuances of the top's vibration. You get a ton of
dynamic range and natural tone.
