My new Emerald Opus X30 12-string arrived yesterday. I love the way it sounds. Members of my band said that they liked its sound better than my 1978 Taylor 855.
I played a Rainsong Jumbo 12 string today. I like the thinness of its neck better, but I prefer Emerald's sound. The Emerald also has more volume.
Another band member will bring his new Taylor Maple 12 string so that we can compare them.
