Hi island-texan,

The X5 was our original travel guitar which we first introduced back in 2006. It went through a number of changes over the years and has always been the instrument of choice for those looking for the most compact roadworthy instrument possible.

As we introduced the more popular X7 model it stepped heavily on the toes of the X5 as it was just a little bit bigger, but offers a much better playing experience both in feel and tone and features a truss rod. Now finally the X5 mould has reached the end of its useable life and we have taken the decision not replace it at this time and focus on the X7 as our core travel guitar.

Best Wishes

Sean
