One of the strap buttons is located at the X-3's upper cutaway bout. Any plus points for this difference? Not really, it gives the guitar a different feel upon strapping on which some of us might dislike because it moves the strap further away. On the other hand, it makes putting the strap over your head much easier.
This is perhaps the highlight of my entry; the X-3's fixed bridge features a tail end access. As such, the intonation adjustments screw are located above the string entry points. Why this peculiarity? If you've handled the X-3, it's feels super light so the implication here is the guitar's body had been extensively chambered. This way, the body's hollow nature could not hold any string ferules to allow a through-body stringing hence the tail end entry instead. Do note the horrible action adjustment screw protrusions there; I'm looking for replacement parts for those.
