Another beauty. Seriously thinking of a custom order in this woody veneer.
Question for the two owners - do you have electrics (pickups) installed? If so, what? I want to say that the one on the website (the fan fret first one he did) has an LR Baggs system in it, I think? Mine had fishman barn door. Just wondering what's the favored coming out of the Emerald Isle these days in the X20... Also, does anyone know if anyone has had a short scale done on an X20? That would be another thing I'd like. |

I have one of the February Select Series X20s - it came with the LR Baggs Element Active System pickup. Dials just inside the soundhole for tone and volume. I think that is the system Emerald is using, but I am aware of one customer who had a B-Band installed in his current guitar. The X7 I bought last year has the B-Band (barndoor) installed.
I do believe they will work with you if you have a different pickup in mind. |

I'm debating whether or not to add a pickup. I don't need one since I no longer perform plugged in. And I don't want to play for a pickup I won't use and lock in the choice while pickup technology marches on.
Per Sean earlier this week, installing a pickup in an Emerald is a pretty standard deal, just like any other acoustic guitar. They do not drill out the endpin hole to the standard 1/2" unless a pickup / endpin jack is going in at the factory -- but they can if you ask. |

Sean at Emerald should be able to work with you as needed to get you exactly what you request.

I have an X7 on order with short scale (24.9"). Expect it to ship in just over a week. Will post my impressions! X20 would be just as doable as X7, I would think.
