Default NGO - a wee bit o'the Green!!

I sold my amber X20 Artisan this weekend to make room (and money) for me placing an order this morning for a custom X20 Artisan, this time in the "Woody"green with the quilted maple veneer and a LR Baggs Anthem pickup.

Needless to say I'm excited and will be holding my breath in anticipation of the new one coming in several months. Also trust that the new "papa"of the amber X20 will enjoy it as much as I did. Glad I was able to get one without the wait back in November, which I thoroughly enjoyed and made me decide to move forward with another Emerald that will have a wee bit o'the more exotic look in green and maple.

And to boot, my birthday is in late May...........and the birthstone for the month of May is none other than..........the EMERALD!!~ How fitting!! Destiny and karma hand in hand........

Another new X20 - will be striking with that green woodie! You know what to expect, but the grand unveiling when the new one arrives will be fun.

Congrats!

Wow! That quilted maple under the green tint is the only thing that (to me) justifies covering up the CF weave. Although some of Alistair's other veneers are awesome too. Good luck with the waiting.......
