I’m just a little envious, in a short-scale, 12-string kind of way...

A buddy loves his Amicus, but complains sometimes about the D-d tuning. I just tune my regular guitar down to D-d using medium gauge strings. Problem solved, and easier on my voice too. I can always capo back up if needed.

The Amicus is a rather strange instrument to me. The few videos I have seen certainly make a compelling case. However, I don't really understand where it fits in a guitar collection.

I purchased mine 2nd hand via this forum. It arrived tuned B - b. I instantly loved it tuned that way and have never changed the tuning.

Mandolin guitar? Hmm, something seems to be missing. Well, apart from a resonator, and a sitar guitar, and and ...

I have had two 7 string guitars (not at the same time), thinking that I would like to get into playing with that added bass note. Just as was my experience with the 12 string guitar, I never did and ended up selling them. Tony

The X20 is actually half an inch wider, at 15 1/2”, in the lower bout, than a Sable, so it’s probably a combination of player size and camera angle that gives that impression. He has several other videos up on YouTube which might give a different perspective.
