Long termers

David sums up his time with the fibreglass-bodied X10 and its myriad sonic possibilities, despite plans to use all of them simultaneously being dashed by the ongoing pandemic…

For this final look at Emerald’s X10 Artisan Woody I was ready to try to use all its available outputs – piezo, humbucker and MIDI – simultaneously in a mighty fusion of acoustic/electric accord. But once again my efforts were thwarted by the prevailing situation with regards to Covid-19. Alas, access to studios was still restricted at the time of writing and I felt I couldn’t delay any longer before adding the final full stop to my time spent with the guitar.
