I have thought about putting heavy strings on my X30 and tuning it down like a baritone, so having a factory made one shows that it is feasible. Getting a good recording with three different players is challenging. So don't judge too harshly between fingerpickers and a strummer. I like the quick comparison format. It's easier to digest than full pieces.

My Lucky 13 has 13 frets to the body. I find it easier to adapt to than I expected. Maybe 11 frets would not be so bad. It still has side markers and plenty of access to the higher frets.
