Lose the Strat Tom ! I’ve got one upstairs too, along with a couple Teles, not been out their cases in two years...
What about that crazy three wheeler vehicle you had ? You still using that ?
I wouldn’t part with the little Cargo before getting it head to head with any possible replacements.
I love my X7 but it’s not earth shattering or anything, just a very nice little guitar.
I wouldn’t attempt to “upgrade” it before playing it side by side with any contenders.
