Congratulations, the X20 is an amazing instrument. I've had mine for about a week now and have played it every day so far. It's body feels like a concert hall but it sounds like a dreadnought. Very comfortable to play both sitting and standing. You won't be let down!

Heat and your guitar: From a quick Google search. "Graphite fiber has a negative coefficient of thermal expansion, which means when it is heated it will shrink. When the graphite fibers are put into a resin matrix (positive CTE), the composite can be tailored to have almost zero CTE. Graphite composites are used for high precision and thermally stable applications." Likely, extreme string temperatures will expand or shrink the metal enough to throw pitch off. This seems much more likely than the effect of temperature change on carbon fiber guitar body parts, although there still might be slight changes there as well, depending on the build properties. An interesting experiment: Put to test an in-tune wood and CF guitar of roughly equal size, both with the same new strings, in the summer sun (i.e., Phoenix) for an hour or so. Compare string pitches with a tuner. |
