One can argue that wood guitars (nature's composite) sound like cellulose fibers embedded in natural resin/pitch, so switching to carbon fibers and polyester resin is not that big of a leap. I can even argue that the consistency and engineering properties of CF composite is superior in many ways. But if their tone or appearance isn't for you, that is OK too. I happen to
prefer the exposed CF weave on mine, but can also see the appeal of the woody veneers, as my wife does with her X7 woody.
I will always hang on to my two Taylor koa guitars - love me some figured koa - but literally everything else is expendable in favor of my Emerald X20 and matching X20-12. These are a perfect fit for me.
