Does anyone here have any experience with a customized short-scale X20? The strength in my left (fretting) hand is compromised, so I have evolved to playing /buying short-scale guitars and fitting them with extra soft strings to make the guitar playable for me.

I'm interested in buying an X20, but would specify that it be customized to about a 24 1/2 inch scale. I'd then likely change the strings to a low tension or smaller gauge string.

Anyone with some experience with an X20 fitting these parameters?

Also, I'm in Canada and was wondering if any Canadian Emerald customers could tell me what they were charged for customs duty on their guitar. From what I can make out on the Canada Customs site, the current duty on guitars imported from Ireland is 6%.

Thanks to all for their help.
