Default Should I change my X20 order to X30???

I haven't played a jumbo. I think they look cool but that's all I know about them.

I'm 6'3". Long arms.

I don't really have need of big unplugged tone.... but I mean...... maybe I'd like it?

Any thoughts?

Changing to an X30 is a $100 upcharge.

This guitar was made for you! Prolly a great fit. It feels smaller than it looks and sounds bigger and fuller than all I have. Consider this a thought...just thinkin'.

At 6'3" with long arms, I would say you should definitely consider changing to an X30. That guitar was made for you!

I'm almost glad that I didn't have to make that choice when I bought my X20 a year and a half ago. Recently I asked Emerald if they had any plans of using that larger body set up as a baritone. That might also be a great guitar.
