Thank LesRose for the wonderful words
I love your line "crawled inside and turned my fingers loose" I often sit in my office and spend time listening deeply to the guitar imagining Im standing inside the body with the sound reverberating around me like a concert hall. The sound is in there its getting it out that can be the challenge. Reading this thread I can imagine how great an occasion it would be if each of you were all together in a room. We could have a great Session. Come on guys Ireland is only a short hop across the Kekailipoho‘ohuināmoku Alistair |

Ah yes, a gathering, a social, a libation (or two) and lots of music. This is what Michael set up for the 2 CarbonFests held several years ago; one at Mystic Springs and the other at Park City. CF aficionados from around the U.S. (and one from Spain) showed up and played, played, played.
A CF meet in Ireland would be sweet. Will Emerald be sponsoring the flights? Let me know if and when.... |

That would be a dream journey! I would dearly love to visit Ireland someday, and it wouldn't be complete without a visit to St. Johnston.

Emerald Eyes X20-12
Yesterday I received an essentially unplayed mint condition 2019 Emerald X20-12 Artisan Black that I purchased from the original owner. This is my second Emerald guitar. (I purchased a new X7 QM-G from Emerald earlier this year.) This X20-12 sounds amazing. I've tried several different tunings, and it seems well suited to DADGAD as well as open C with a capo on the 4th fret. So much range. I love this guitar!
Do you happen to know which brand and guage strings Emerald ships on new X20-12 Artisan guitars? Have you tried different brands of strings on your X20-12, and if so which do you think is the best sounding and playing 12-string set? I also have a Taylor 562ce 12-fret all-mahogany 12-string, but that's a completely different and unique instrument compared to my Emerald X20-12. I use Elixir PB Lights on the Taylor. Enjoy the day!
