Beautiful quilted top to go with the big sound. I'm sure you'll enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine.

Default Thanks to you all

It’s good to have comrades in interests. It is really powerful. Need to control this but good to have and extra gear.

That’s a great top on your guitar.

Now talk about how that big boy speaks.

It’s big. Feel the testosterone surge when I pick it up. Bought it in an attempt to sound louder without playing harder. Accomplishing playing the same volume with less Effort now. Go figure. May have to amp up?

Using the onboard K&K mini takes my X30 to another level. The power and balance are there and you can shape the tone to your liking. Single note lines are so effortless, which goes to the Emerald’s incredible setup and ergonomics.

Plug that thing in!

Beautiful! I’m thinking about placing an order for an X30. I think I’m over wood.

My X30 sounds better than most wooden guitars I've ever played, and that's coming from someone who has snickered at the idea of a non-wooden guitar before being converted.

You won't be sorry.

Couldn't have said it better except to add the word boomy. Enjoy.....
