I assumed that would be the case. So it will probably be difficult for those who want to experiment with different saddle materials, or determine if the adjustable saddle degrades tone.

I know my ears aren’t discerning enough to tell the difference between bridge materials. (Or nut, or bridge pins for that matter)

Not necessarily....I have an older X10 and took it in to a tech who made a bone saddle while I waited. Started with a blank so he was able to fit it just so.

Hey wild man from up yonder where my Canadian Gumby and Pokey Hail from...This is a whole nother set up on the new X-10s I'm thinking and would take a lot to change a bridge style to the usual switchable types in most acoustics. Just assumin'.

I assume if the no pick-up option was selected ( -$150.00),
this new X10 would have a bridge like the X7 and X20 instead
of the Individual saddles ?

Or does it still come with the individual saddles but without individual pickups ?

Yes I know. Lots of assuming.

I emailed Emerald, asking what bridge would come on the X10 if the
no pickup option was selected, haven't heard back yet.

I'm assuming they're very, very busy.
