Default Emerald Ambassador available - Jim Whelan - Dallas-Fort Worth

Hello everyone,

Just got off of a Zoom meeting with Alistair and other Emerald Ambassadors.

Just a quick note to let anyone in the DFW area (or passing through) the opportunity to check out my Emerald guitars. I currently have an X20, and recently acquired Amicus I got during their 25th Anniversary/25% off sale.

My bio and link are on the Emerald Ambassador page on their website, or PM me here if you want to meet up to check out my guitars.

Cheers!

Jim Whelan
Grapevine, TX

Jim, it was good “meeting” with you and the others today. Sorry I had to step away— this whole work thing gets in the way sometime. I’m in SW Idaho, BTW. I need to check out the Ambassador page myself.

There were a couple of other AGF regulars on that Zoom meeting. Wonder why they have not posted yet?

Because we have places to be, people to see…

I, too, enjoyed the call, and ‘meeting’ several familiar names - I kept flipping from screen to screen trying to match real names to screen handles.

Can anyone be an ambassador? I’d be happy to let folks in lower NY check out my X30.

Well, they won’t take just anyone

Seriously, I’m sure they’d be delighted to add more to the mix - but I can’t figure out how you’d actually apply. Maybe an email or online chat request to the sales team?

I’m clearly losing my touch. I couldn’t find that with a flashlight.

Yeah, but at least you thought to look! I feel like a lazy idiot…I didn’t even try.


I sent in my request, we’ll see what happens. Of course I played with the builder…need to find a nearby ambassador with an X20 I can try!

I just finished my first ambassador visit. A local fellow wanted to try my X20-12 and really liked it. He will likely be ordering soon to take advantage of the Black Friday sale going on right now. The carbon fiber enabling continues....

Default Heck, they accepted *me*

So you gotta know their standards aren't that high.

All it took was an email. I haven't had a Zoom call with anyone.

Two of my Emeralds were acquired used. And I think I'm fairly unique in that I have two nylon string Emeralds.

I'm in Northern Virginia. I love to meet people, I love jamming with people, I'm fun to make music with, and I have an X20 nylon, and X10 steel with a humbucker, and an X10 Slimline nylon.

Reach out to me if you're close by and want to try any of these out.
