One, a Gretsch 'Way Out West' will go to my daughter-in-law when she has space for it. The next, an inexpensive Applause which I bought a couple of years ago as my Minnesota winter guitar (a role it fulfilled admirably) is currently up for sale locally. Simply not needed any more, now I have the X20. Then there's a Washburn Jumbo which I've had for 15 years or so. Bought it when my Martin was in the shop for some refurbishment. It's a brilliant sounding and playing guitar - with a crack in the top from under-humidification, which I never got fixed. That makes selling it a challenge, even though it's been stable for those 15 years. Maybe another donation candidate. And then, there's the Martin...

I enjoy this X7 conversation. Like others, I have felt my previous generation X7 is a great companion to the X20; one certainly does not replace the other. That version of the X7 sounds big for its size, but it doesn't come close to the volume and tone of the X20. But, that X7 just feels so comfortable.
I thought the X10 I ordered would be the "Goldilocks" size that would have some of the intimacy of the X7, with more of the sound of the X20. Nope, with the Level 2 pickups, it is a whole 'nuther thing... and, again, not a replacement for either. I played a party today with a keyboard player, and the X10 has such a nice plugged in sound. This conversation makes me really want to try one of the new model X7s. Bunch of enablers. It's a quality I admire. |

Captain;
Somehow I thought you had already had one of the new 7s.I don't know how you've resisted. Maybe you could be snagging one of the monthly specials. Or better yet, go full custom and get the paint job that reflects your love of the water. Feel free to admire my enablement. |
