I'm looking at buying another emerald, possibly x20. I have a newer x30 but I find the sound remarkably thin amd lacking richness of overtones. Yes, I'm aware it's not wood, but the new mcpherson sable seems far better in terms of sound.

I am using elixir custom light strings and wonder if you've had success with different strings.

I've heard comments on YouTube about the need to play with a light tough for good projection in Emerald guitars. I agree that you don't have to dig in for good volume output, but just not loving the sound I am getting.

Looking for input and your thoughts about this. Again, I am aware that it is carbon fiber and there will be limitations, but the newest sable seems more satisfying in terms of tone and would like your thoughts.
