You win, Kram.

I’m a sucker for non-sapwood tops. Congrats to you on the 10 & 7.

How’s the sound of the 10 vs the 7?

Can you post a side shot of the three showing their body depth? Greatly appreciated.

I wonder if you'll be the first in history to post a video clip of the x10.

Been waiting forever...

Ill have at some more photos soon with a few angles for ya....10 and 7 sound very similar and it is a really good sound indeed and oh so comfortable to have and hold ... a lot richer sounding too me than last 2 model 7s and even my old school center hole 10 ... definite winners big time here. Oh glorious times in the CF world are upon us... wait ..did I just type that?? I need a nap

You should see these things in real life...wow..(no I am not telling where I live now)(had to get a bigger place for Phoenix Carbon Fest). I keep trying to capture the beautaciuosness of these puppies...also the red reveal on back and sides are perfect with this veneer ... just exclaimin'.
I hope at least someone is a wee jealous or what's the point.

The padauk is just gorgeous. It will be interesting to see how it changes over the years.

You are a fortunate fellow, Mr. Kramster

Thanks Kram!

I am gravitating towards the X10. Seems like it has a smaller sound hole as compared with the 7, and the lower horn captures and retains the design essences of the previous X7. I say the new X10 looks more like a old X7 than the new X7! And I thought this is good because the old X7 has that compact, electric guitar looking vibe which the new X7 may have departed awa. The X7 now looks like a baby X20 to me.

Now, how’s the thickness of the veneer infused top? Does it feel as thin as a Opus top one?

Apology for bugging you with questions.

Bug away (sounds like an exterminating company...any way)... I’ll do some more photos after I eat this pesky steak dinner... I’ll do some sound hole photos to see any differences..that photo might being toying with you as angles of shot are different

Nice family adoption! I respectfully request that you STOP putting those gorgeous guitars out on the street for their individual photos!! I've seen how people drive in Phoenix!!

Yours is the first level 3 pickup X10 I've seen in the wild. Have you tried it plugged into the computer to use the midi features?

Beautiful guitars, all 3. Congrats!

Haven’t plugged in the 10 yet. I currently don’t have a 13 pin set up for the midi laying around anymore.. guess I better get one again. The 7 into a Bose Compact is really nice.

Well, plug that 10 in and tell us about the other two pickups! I'm especially interested in the blend between the two. Inquiring minds want to know.
