Emerald X10 Slimline Ghost + Krivo?

[dgaemc2]

There seem to be a lot of pickup choices with this model.

My X20 has the Ghost + K&K so I am familiar with this one and I do like it.

Does anyone own or have played an X10 Slimline with the Ghost + Krivo?

If so, do you use the stereo output for the Ghost to an Acoustic Amp / PA and Krivo to an electric guitar amp? Do you find this pickup combination to be fairly versatile or somewhat limited?

I've listened to a few youtube demos and the Krivo sounded like it would be good for warm Jazz but not much else. Or is there a pull shift on the volume knob to brighten it up some?

Anybody here own or played an X10 Slimline?

I have an X 10 slim with the ghost piezo and the Krivo. I love it. Plugged in using both pickups it has a very rich tone. I have also used just the krivo into a tube amp and it sounds awesome.

Thanks for the excellent response! That sounds very encouraging.!

Anybody else?

Rashi--How does it sound unplugged?

Great question KarenB!

And a follow up question for those who may have some "hands on" experience: is the unplugged sound of an X10 Slim and a Virtuo the same? Are those essentially the same guitar, with a significant change of pickups?

Another great question that I had too, but was addressed in one of the shipping videos. Alistair said the X10 Slimline unplugged is more acoustic sounding than Virtuo unplugged even though they share the same body. The main reason is X10 slim doesn't have cutouts for pickups and uses acoustic guitar strings. The Virtuo is more of an electric guitar than acoustic. His words or something like that...

It sounds a little “thin” compared to the full body X7, but still very resonant and loud enough in a small room.

Thinner sounding makes sense. Would you also describe the X10 Slim as brighter than X7? Hope so because sometimes my X7 sounds a bit too warm.

Thanks, Rashi.
