Any X10 users here

[hotroad]

I am interested in getting some user info on this guitar, the one with the humbucker. Appreciate any info.

I got a lot of great feedback on both the regular X10 as well as the Slimline, including the humbucker, in this thread:

What would you like to know? My X10 is a custom scale length (24.6") that I ordered right after that model was re-released in 2018. Level 2 pickups: humbucker and individual piezos.

Comfortable guitar, plays and sounds great. Versatile tones when plugged in - you can use a stereo cable to send the piezos to an acoustic amp or PA, and the Krivo humbucker to an electric guitar amp. Or, blend them (which is what I do all the time these days).1 11/16th inch nut width, neck profile slimmer than my X20 or X7. A nicely balanced acoustic tone when not plugged in. I am using Elixir Custom Light strings on it.

I got a used X10 with a piezo, humbucker, and hexpander MIDI. I got it BECAUSE it was cheap, on sale, and I wanted the Hexpander because I expect to get into more MIDI stuff in the future.

Unfortuntely for the requirements, I haven't plugged it in yet. I'm still just playing at home, with an eventual goal of doing some Youtube videos and hopefully some coffee-house style gigs in the future.

that being said, I have some thoughts you might find helpful. Dunno.

Prior to getting this, I already had a Rainsong Orchestral for years that I didn't play because I was into electric. When i took the plunge to stop chasing electric guitar instrumental indie recording dreams that were going nowhere and take up fingerstyle and pop sing-n-strum playing again, I first started with Composite Acoustics and chased a deeper, bassier sound. I found that in a GXi, and, surprisingly, got good depth and bass in a Composite Acoustics Cargo. Obviously not as bassy, but decent for the size of the guitar. I sold the Rainsong Orchestral because I had gotten it cheap and it was worth more now, so it felt like a profit, and it felt like I had replacements I liked better in the Composite Acoustics.

Then I got this one.

Then I picked up a Rainsong Dreadnought because Rainsong went out of business and used/cheap.

then I picked up a Mitchell Rosewood T331 mahogany acoustic because I needed a guitar without any electronics whatsoever, and it sounded much better than a $160 had any right to sound.

In and amongst all these, I picked up several different nylon string guitars, because I decided I like nylon better.

so with all that, I sold the Cargo, and have the Rainsong and GXi up for sale, because while there are other reasons that contribute, the *main* reason is i of all my steel string guitars, when I want to play steel string, I am the happiest when I pick up the X10.

It doesn't have the bass depth/complexity of the GXi. It is much brighter sounding.

But I like the neck shape, the action is low and effortless, much easier to play than any of the larger guitars.

And the more I play it, the more I find I relish the tone it has. All the guitars sound like acoustic guitars to me. I couldn't pick out which one was wood if you gave me blind audio samples of all 4. The X10 just sounds closer to what I would think of is a more Taylor sound, whereas the GXi (and by fairly close extension, the Rainsong and Mitchell dreads) is much closer to what I think of as a Guild sound (because I first heard that complex bass depth on a friend's high end Guild about 30 years ago).
Dunno. i just like the tone, and I like playing it the best.

I also like knowing I'm not wearing down the frets like I am on the Rainsong.

and with its green tint over quilted maple, it's by far the prettiest.

hope that helps.
