Thanks for the side-by-side photos, Kramster. Looks like they are as close in size as the specs, but there is a definite difference in shape. I'll look forward to your comments about how each feels... sitting, standing.

Both are fine looking guitars. Stock neck scale on both? The upper bout looks a bit more full on the X10 - fact or lens perspective?

This is what happens when you're the first to get "hands on" all three.

Mr. K,

Three very nice additions to the "Kramster Collection", . . . Congratulations !!!

I have a new X7 order in the production line and can't wait to line it up next to my X20 and my "vintage" X7.

Best regards,
Jim K

I've learned a couple things from this thread....I need to order an X7 real soon and Kramster likes to eat. Thanks for all the great pics.

I really like the redwood on those! I had considered a redwood topped/rosewood B&S acoustic, but something like this would scratch that itch in a more modern way.

3!!? Wowzers. I came super close to going with an x10, but I couldn't find any demos online. I have a Parker Fly Deluxe, so imagine that it is similar is some regards (Stereo Jack, send peizos to one amp and the Krivo Mag to another amp), but in some regards a polar opposite (mainly an acoustic sound for both pickups, vs the mainly electric functionality of the Fly Deluxe). Emerald said they'd be coming out with one in a fortnight or so.

Let's see/hear your x10 in the wild

Kramster,

I think I should be ready to send my adoption papers over soon assuming you are OK with adopting an elderly teenager. All you have to do is sign and I will have a bunch of beautiful siblings to play with once I move in with you. I'll even quality check the pools for you once in a while too.

Oh Mot! trying to sneak into the family--just disgusting. Uncle and I aren't going to let you in that easy.

Nephew K; Keep an eye on this guy, he looks like trouble to me.

Sneak in? I plan to walk through the front door with eyes wide shut. We can play "blindfold which guitar did you put in my hand?", "Spin the guitar" and other fun games as ice breakers. Uncles are invited too.

Pretty sure "Pin the Tail on the Guitar" will not be appreciated with Kramster's new "herd of Emeralds." But, I like your style!

Ice just melts here...so no breakage.
