Opting for a scale length of 27″ on the bass side, and running to 25 1/2″ on the treble side, the X20-7 projects like no other instrument. For unrivalled comfort and accessibility, it has sculpted asymmetrical bevels and a carefully contoured back. Its unique sound-hole positioning gives powerful full-spectrum projection to the player and audience. Quite simply, it’s a pristine sound experience.

Hi-Tech Carbon

Carbon fiber is now used in all the most high tech industries from Aerospace to Formula one Racing where strength and weight is paramount. In fact it was in Formula One Power Boat racing that we discovered that the properties of carbon fiber are also perfectly suited to guitar making creating a lightweight structure that holds up under the tension of the strings while resonating freely with the lightest touch.

Weather Resistant

If you have ever traveled with a guitar you will know just how much temperature and humidity changes can effect the structure, tuning stability and tone of a guitar. This is where carbon fibre construction really excells. Now you can take your guitar from a cold car to a warm stage without worrying that your going to go out of tune after the first strum.
