We'll try, but leave a few Emeralds for the rest of us, eh?
My custom X20-12 should be here by Christmas, so I am reasonably immune from the playmate (ahem) Select Series of the Month.

Don't be so sure... that's what I thought!

Other considerations were that this veneer was one offered to me on my X20 build (and was a close second choice...), it has the Amber back and sides I love (and will also be on my X20), and it will give me a chance to check out the LR Baggs pickup system which I did not go with on my X20 (went with the K&K but was a close second).

AND I'll get to do a serious X20 woody vs. X7 woody head-to-head shootout NGD in a couple months.

Try not to hate me.
Congrats! That may be the most striking X7 yet!! Very excited for you, and look forward to the NGD arrival announcement... both of them!

Thanks, Jim. Sean called you out by name saying I should check in with you as someone that owns both the X7 and the X20!

I know there are others here who have both, and in another month or so, we can get your take on the pairing.

I have "ooouuuu'd and ahhhhhh'd" more over these last nine monthly Select Series than any decade of guitar looking. Congrats again on snagging that beautiful X7!

Have there really been 9 monthly selects? That's just incredible. At the beginning I thought we'd get a month or two and then we'd be back to the occasional Emerald wonderment. As it is, I can hardly believe that the select series continues. And all during the monthly presentations there have been the custom orders noted on this forum. There's some pretty heavy handed magic going on here. I believe that we are looking at some pretty rare collectables.
