Thumbs up NGD - in green!
Enjoying my arrival of an Emerald X7 today. Ordered it with two custom mod's: a 24.9" scale length and a Taylor-style thin neck. Feels perfect in my hands. And, so far, sounds fantastic! Will need a setup (not as low action as I desired), but tone is great, and the Anthem pickup is sounding sweet so far.

Like the green look more than I expected. Thumbs up for a job well done by Alastair and crew!

exactly what I would want in a CF guitar! Taylor short scale, Taylor neck profile and nut.

very very enticing!

I love the green, too

Lol - same here except I want mine in a Santa Cruz 1929 short scale, Santa Cruz 1929 neck profile and nut! Mine is due in October. Sigh.

Like. I think one of the band members in the bar scene in Star Wars was playing one of those...

Thumbs up
After a wonderful weekend of playing, very pleased with the guitar. So glad I did the neck and scale length customization - it's a joy to be able to play a small take-anywhere guitar in the same way as my larger ones.

Might now have to order a 12-string X20 and continue the rotation from all-wood guitars to mix with carbon. Big question is to go with a bare guitar with color, or to go with a "woodie" veneer. Will arrive just in time for Christmas!

I have to say, when I saw green in your title I thought yuck - but it looks awesome!
Overall great looking guitar something I'd love to have and never knew it.
Enjoy!

I've never seen such chatoyant depth!

I'm really surprised by how much I like the look of this. Normally I'm not a big fan of things that hide the natural wood, but this is fabulous. Enjoy it!

Congrats! I'm infatuated with the X-20 nylon custom in green but that's where it will stay until I can actually hear one from my own hands. I'm thinking the second star on the right and on till morning won't make that happen.

I'm not a green guy but I do like what Emerald is turning out. Congrats!

BTW Erithon, there is not a splinter of wood on that guitar
