I just bought an Emerald X20 Artisian and I really like the tone of the guitar. All the tones and overtones are there. It's plays well softly and finger picking, it's nice for leads, and really shines when you push it hard... I play a lot of acoustic stuff from The Who and some guitars just wash out when strummed that hard (my Martin 000-28EC for example). I like the Emerald so much I'm probably going to order another one for the house here in Ohio. I bought the Emerald to take to our place in Mexico which has massive humidity shifts. It screws with the neck of my Gibson EC-20 so much I have to adjust the truss rod weekly when I'm there playing it.

Glad you found a CF guitar that works for you, Puerto Player, and congrats on being able to
sell your Rainsong in just one day.
The fact that you were able to sell your Rainsong so quickly is proof that the brand is incredibly popular here, but we all have different needs. If you are looking for a spare X20, you might want to check the classifieds, there is a whole page of Emeralds for sale right now.

One of them, and X20 being offered by studioman001 is only a few months old.
