NGD - X10 Green Machine with custom scale, nut and bridge
Custom $$$ went toward enhancing acoustic performance for me: 24.6” scale, 1.75” nut and single saddle. Gig bag only. I have a 2017 X7 Select Series St. Paddy’s Day Special, also Emerald Green. It came with Baggs pickup, but I never play plugged in.
The X7 has been my #1 since arrival, liking it’s unique playability, shape and sound. After a year or so, I started thinking I’d like it bigger. Then the new design X7 and X10 were announced. Both are very appealing smaller guitars and bigger than my X7. I went with the larger X10, but worried that it might be too big. It’s not. It’s a larger small guitar, deeper than a Martin dread but still feeling small. Delightfully playable, pleasant rumble against your body, “Emerald bevels and curves”! I also prefer the larger X10 headstock, more aesthetically pleasing and less crowding of knobs than the X7. Early sound comparison with old X7 and different strings on each: they’re from the same family! The X10 is fuller, more balanced, deeper bass and rumbles more. x10_complete.jpg x10_bridge.jpg

I've tried various sizes and, as someone on this forum noted, the 10 is the Goldilocks. The only problem I see with this particular guitar is that it is green--I thought everyone knew that the red sound the best. Congratulations.

Congratulations...I like how you stayed with the 1 3/4" nut width.

Beautiful! I like the plain, unadulterated, carbon-weave look better than the woodies, and the transparent emerald green is my favorite color. Enjoy!

Your Emerald X10 is beautiful.
I concur with "SpruceTop", and also prefer the carbon weave appearance over wood veneer. That Green Carbon Weave is stunning. Enjoy

That’s really nice - I didn’t realize the X10 could be so deep - I guess I’ve mostly seem the skinnier version with the emphasis on the electronics. I’d love to hear how this would sound relative to the X7 and X20.
Congratulations and Enjoy! -Ray
