I also had the X20 for a week and own the Doubleneck. I own a Rainsong JM1000 BI and and owned a Parlor and OM1000. Tone is so difficult to describe and really remember if the guitar is long gone. But as the above comment two different tones. The Rainsong is more chimey, I think that decreases on the hybrids. I like the booming, pureness, crystal sound of my pure carbon JM. Emerald is I think less chimey and more woodlike really. I go back and forth between these two and tone wise don't really have a favorite, they both are very pleasing. The X20, I played over a year ago so too far away from it to comment, except I remember it never challenged the Emerald Doubleneck for me.
