While sleeping on it, I had a vision. The soon to be world famous Emerald Ruby Cross begs to be BBBBAD TO THE BONE! Hold onto your skirts for this idea. How about installing five large 12 string transducers! All my fancy phase buttons and notch filters may finally get used to tame the beast. But it should be a great sound.

I went with the gig bag when I ordered my Emerald and have no regrets. Last September I took my X20 to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area for a week-long camping/canoeing trip. I'd taken a Rainsong with a hardshell on an earlier trip and found that the hardshell's weight was a killer on the portages. When we carry 75 lb packs and canoes across land between lakes, every ounce DOES matter. The well made gig bag offered pretty good protection. Some had advised that I get a travel sized guitar instead of the X20 for these type of trips but in this case the slightly heavier guitar was worth it to me.

No loons this year. Instead it was the year of the black bear that we heard but fortunately never had in the campsite. I can't believe I didn't take a pic of my Emerald up there. I think it sang just a wee bit sweeter up there with all the natural beauty.This was the view from my tent.

Jim;
I don't know if you've read it, but a sometimes forum member wrote a book titled How to Canoe in Canada, almost get killed by rapids, eaten by polar bears, have your blood sucked out by clouds of mosquitoes and other fun stuff! You might think from the title that you've read most of the story. There's more and it's delightful. |

I'll try to check it out. Been canoeing up there since 1965 (yeah, getting old) but always enjoy other people's takes on the place. Kramster, Apparently Photobucket is not the way to go for me, anymore!

Todd, that is beautiful! Thanks for sharing the Ziricote pic. Have you figured out the correct pronunciation of Ziricote?
Edit: this is what the innerwebs says: ziricote (chee-ree-coh-tee?) zeer-a-coat-A Zeer a co tee...just a guess zeer-ih-coat zir-a-khote Ziricote (I believe one of a number of native tongues in Mexico/CA), its pronunciation in the Spanish form would be See-ree-coh-teh with a rolled r ziricote (zer uh coat) zi·ri·co·te / zirəˈkōtā Zur-coat zur-coat-ee zee ree kó tay zeer-co-tee zira-coa(t)-Tay ( alternate sear-uh-coa(t)-Tay) Last edited by jwellsy; 04-08-2018 at 09:50 AM. |

We finalized the veneer orientation today. Alistair took a couple more pics for me and I chose the one that shows off the most interesting details.Mainly because of where the bridge falls between some filigree. He also said he liked the name Emerald Ruby Cross.
