I was lucky enough to own one of Evan's most beautiful creations, his thinline X10 nylon in Royal Ebony. Ergonomically, it was a complete joy to play. Mine was a nylon so that combined with the slimline body made for a very subdued acoustic tone and volume but plugged in it was excellent sounding.
I would imagine a steel string would be similar in it would be more subdued in volume but less in tone than the nylon. In the end I only sold it off because I went in a completely different direction going from three Emeralds to three Cole Clarks in about two months time. But it was no reflection on the Emeralds.
