Congrats on the double NGD.

Questions on the x20. I've noticed that when I play mine I end up playing above the fretboard, so I measured and noticed there is only 5.6" between the bridge and the end of the fretboard on the x20, which is at least an inch shorter than any other acoustic I own, has this been an issue for you? I understand it all has to do with scale, an the fact that the x20 has 24 frets, but find it somewhat frustrating having to play closer to the bridge than I like.

Yes, I actually noticed that too and I was a bit worried especially because I have a heavy hand and I mostly strum with a pick. I was worried I would keep hitting the fretboard with my pick but I found it okay... I think I strum just after the fretboard ends. But the again, This might be just me subconsciously avoiding the fretboard or it might be just that where I usually strum happens to work out with the x20. After all! It's only been 2days!haha I'll update you one this if it becomes uncomfortable but for now it's works for me... Ofcourse other may find otherwise.
