Default ANGD Emerald X20 Cocobolo

Almost New Guitar Day!

Just received notice that my X20 Cocobolo Woody is in final setup and pickup install mode and should be en-route to me within the next week. Sean did send me a pic of the front while sitting on the bench. I'm getting very excited now that it's getting so close.

That top looks totally freakin' awesome! Nicest by far of the woodies, imo. I want one just like it. Congrats and enjoy the wait.

Gorgeous!!! I had a hard time deciding between a cocobolo and the green quilted maple I ordered yesterday.

Congrats and we'll look forward to a full review and gloating once it arrives!!

Beautiful Cocobo Woodie X20! Also very much along the lines of the one I just commissioned.

I am hoping the new stash of cocobolo veneers that Sean is currently sourcing includes some with sapwood like yours. Looking forward to seeing the finished product and hearing your impressions of the guitar when in hand.

Hearing all of you talk about your Emeralds and seeing these pictures is just too much for me right now... I'm going to have to excuse myself!

Another stunning example of some amazing veneers that Emerald is currently using for their guitars.

It's actually hard to pick a favorite.... this one looks very, very beautiful but I'm also very enamored of Captain Jim's Louro Preto.

Stunning work. My excitement grows as well as I was told on Friday that mine was going to be going into finishing this week. I place my order back on October 26th, and I absolutely have no problems about the wait and I know it'll be totally worth it. As a matter of fact I sent a note saying to take their time and make it magical!

Woot!

Todd

WOW! That is gorgeous! Looking forward to the soon to happen: NGADs (New Guitar Arrived Day). So great that Sean at Emerald keeps you in the loop with the in-process photos!
