Emerald x20 gig bag
Just got my emerald x20 an couldn't be happier!!!
But, I bought a mono gig bag. Any ideas what someone would pay for the emerald branded gig bag that came with it? Just curious. |

There's a reason you bought the mono bag. And I don't use my Emerald bag. The bag is a disappointment for such a fine guitar.

An e-mail to Sean at Emerald would get you an accurate answer. Congrats on the X20! Love mine! |

The Emerald OEM gig bag is not my cup-of-tea. I don't care for the color scheme and the overly prominent brand name screams STEAL ME!!!!

I opted to order just the Emerald gig bag and no hard case with my X20 custom. My thinking was that I never use hard cases anyway, so why bother and rather save myself some money.
I like the Emerald gig bag. No one outside of this forum knows who or what Emerald is so I disagree with the big Emerald emblem being a 'steal me' sign. I like the look as well. I will stipulate that it's not the best gig bag for protection but then again it's a CF guitar so how much protection does it really need anyway? I already have a very high-end Gator Go-Pro Ultimate gig bag which I use for all my guitars if I need extra protection - another reason I didn't worry about getting a hard case. |

I wasn't a "gig bag kinda guy" for decades. The gig bag that came with the GSmini when I bought it years ago changed my mind. When I got the RainSong Shorty, it came with a heavy TKL hard case that is nice, but a beast (a heavy wood case for a lightweight CF guitar???). I bought an Access gig bag that fits the Shorty and my Taylor 522.
I have come to see the functionality and light weight advantages of a gig bag - when I am the only one handling my guitar. I love the gig bag that comes with the X7. While I also have the Emerald gig bag for the X20, I have to say that the Hiscox that Emerald uses for the X20 is an outstanding hard shell case, as well... lightweight, good protection. Nice to have options. |

I love the Hiscox hard case that came with my X20-12 -- very nice, not too heavy, and among the best hard cases I've encountered. I will use the Hiscox for other guitars too.
But honestly the Emerald's last few trips outside the house have been in either my Taylor Hard Bag (Access Stage 3, quite similar to the GS Mini gig bag) or a Saga Superior bag - I have several of those Saga bags laying around. The Saga is comparable in quality to the Emerald bag IMO, but in plain black and with a number of zippered compartments for storage. I prefer gig bags for that storage capability -- keeping everything there and organized (extra strings, capo, tuner, picks, strap, song list). I would be happy owning the Emerald bag for my X20-12, but would not pay a huge premium for it. Maybe $65 delivered.... because I can find comparable non-logo bags for that amount any day of the week at my LGS. |

Do any of the rigid foam cases fit the x20?

I always got mine from Elderly, then from Janet Davis Music when they disappeared from the Elderly catalog a few years ago. They appear to be back at Elderly now..... I grew up in Michigan and have spent a lot of time on Lake Superior. It is cool to see that logo on my gig bags......
https://www.elderly.com/superior-gui...gbag-98844.htm Although there are gig bags out there with more padding, the numerous compartments really make the bag.....Superior. Sadly, my Google search just revealed that Janet Davis Music has closed its doors last spring. Jwellsy, I will try my X20-12 in my TRIC foam case tomorrow sometime. I expect that it will fit just fine. |

Thanks, I really like the plush rigid foam cases like the ones Yamaha's ship with. They're a great compromise of protection and weight.

FWIW, my X20 and X20-12 have been traveling locally in my TRIC dreadnought case. for several weeks now The fit is a little loose laterally, but it works just fine. In fact that TRIC case is what will carry my Emerald to the bluegrass jam in about an hour.
