NGD Emerald X20 Artisan Woody....Amber Quilted Maple
Loving my new Emerald X20 Artisan Woody. Just came yesterday. It arrived in perfect condition, very well packed and made it in less than a week.
In playing it through my Shertler Unico the tone is quite different than my other guitars which are made of wood. Plugged in, the tone is more pronounced, more defined or articulate than my other guitars. It lacks some in depth but that can be made up for with a bit more bass and mid eq. It took me an hour to dial it in to the tone I hoped it would provide. Its like my other guitars in wood but with more punch, if you will. I reacts well to a softer touch but even then it has punch, power pushing the tone out. Nice to hear it so well from the sound port facing up at me. Mine has the Element and I have always liked that one so that is part of the equation here. The neck is fast yet wider than my other guitars as I go up the neck. I don't play up past the twelfth fret much so this is ok. As I play it more, which will be a lot, I will try to write here anything that really stands out. But those of us who have Emerald guitars know that besides the stunning appearance and design, the playability and tone are also superb.  [/URL]

link didnt work for me. To post on the forum:
open Imgur then the Forum, move the screens around so you can see both, select one from the thumbnails on IMGUR and choose the DIRECT button you see on the right, go to the forum and choose the mountain button, a window will come up and you paste (control V), then the location address which is a bunch of numbers etc will show on the new post youre making, in this case you made. Add any text then select preview to see if the pics come up and how it looks overall. Go back to your thread and the symbols will show again but don’t worry. If your preview was ok it will be ok. Hit post and there you go.

Still having trouble with Imgur. All I end up with is the little square box instead of the actual image.

Congrats, hotroad. Looks wonderful and based on reports of other Emerald X20 (woody) owners, it likely sounds and plays great too. We'll be interested to know more from you as time goes on. Enjoy! I hope this guitar will be as well received in this 'General' forum as it would in the CF forum.

Congrats - she's a beauty! There is a downside of these woodies: wood guitars I have, pretty though they may be, kinda pale in comparison. Well, in looks and sound.
 Enjoy! And, post some more impressions after you've had a week... or a month... or however much time you need to feel you're beyond that "honeymoon stage." I'll let you know when I get there.

Nice! Wondering how much CF makes a guitar not a wood guitar? This is definitely in the crossover category. Looking forward to your thoughts as you get more time with this beauty.

Alistair made a video in which he unboxes a shipment of veneer. The veneer is so thin that it's shipped rolled up! https://www.facebook.com/pg/EmeraldG...deos/?mt_nav=1 So except for a few grams of cosmetic wood, this is an all-carbon fiber guitar. .
