I own an X7 nylon which has its bridge placed that way due to its extended 630 mm scale (regular X7 is 610mm). It is a very quiet and punchy guitar. I still suspect its sound and volume could have been so much better had the bridge been placed at the center of the lower bout.

Yes, the standard bridge position for an X7 is already in the center of the lower bout, and the body length of the X20 is ideal for a 12 fret bridge position (but the overall body size is too big and produces exaggerated bass). The X10 is in between. Its standard bridge position isn't in the center of the lower bout, so there is room for modification. The ultra thin body of this new custom guitar may be inherently bass shy, and might benefit from the stronger bass of a centered bridge.
