I just purchased a used X30 - it's incredible! Booming lows, but they don't overwhelm the mids or trebles. I put some new Straight-Up-Strings .011's on it (my go-to strings) and it did not loose any volume, lows or clarity - but plays like a dream. It's a beautiful piece of art - enough can't be said about the astonishing Padauk veneer. Of course the red carbon fiber weave everywhere is gorgeous as well...pics below. Off to play some more!

Congratulations! This is the one one guitar being made today that I'm really intrigued by. I'm pretty sure I don't want one - I don't want or need the size or the volume, much as I like the tone I've heard from it. But I'm gonna have to play one someday and I realize that could possibly change my thinking.

Enjoy!

-Ray

Congratulations, there's some fine coloring on that one. Word on the street is the X30 is an amazing guitar.
