That would work with an X20 but with the smaller size of the X10 body the bridge will have to be moved towards the outer rim of the lower bout.

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.
