My X20 has a veneer; my X7 is black carbon weave; the X10 is a red tint over the black carbon weave. Each one sounds great. I have played an X20 or two without the veneer, and each sounded pretty much like mine. Alistair has said that there is no difference in volume or tone with/without the veneer. As I understand, they make an allowance for the veneer in the build-up. There is no wood that you can touch on the veneer models - when they are laid up, the veneer is encased in resin (as I understand). It is all about the appearance. All those bevels and compound curves, however, make all the difference in comfort with the Emeralds.
