Emerald X20 and pickups
I am captivated by the X-20.
I hardly ever play 'plugged in'. If I was to purchase an X20 Opus without a pickup, am I correct in thinking that it would be a bit tricky to add one later?

No, not tricky. That said, if you would happen to later want a k&k, ask Emerald to prepare for it as it seems there’s a bit of work (sanding?) needed on the inside to best facilitate placement/adherence. I don’t think it costs any more. Also, I recently ordered an X20 custom without electronics, and although I don’t intend to later install a k&k, I did ask that the endpin/jackpiece be properly drilled/installed for later electronics installation.
