The cover letter with the calendar says it is a thank you for purchasing a Select Series instrument.

Well that explains it..... I only ordered a custom X20-12, not a Select Series. It's a lovely gesture on Emerald's part, but I don't need another calendar on my wall. So Sean, if you read this, it's OK -- no need to send one. Your shots of my X20-12 are my computer screensaver these days.
GBG: The X20 six string just may be my new favorite guitar, and not just because it is new to me. We have not yet had much bonding time, having only been off the road and home for about 18 hours now.

And to save you the effort, I already know all the instructions, the various hosting sites, upgrading to charter membership, adding the app to my smart phone, etc. But it looks remarkably similar to the pics that Sean posted to that thread, but with only six strings.

So what I think he ..the Earl.. is eluding to ... look at the 12 string with one eye closed (or one eye open)...hope this helps as that is all I can ever hope for.

So, just took a slow look at the Emerald calendar. I realized that I was awed at each month's offering, but had not taken in the scope of Emerald's accomplishment.
I've been interested in the history of guitar evolution, and I cannot think of a time when development moved so quickly or strikingly. The various scales, necks, shapes and tones coming from Emerald guitars is, in my book, staggering. If I were the king of Ireland, I'd have a display of Emeralds at every airport. And I'd designate Alistair Hay as a national resource. I'm pretty positive when it comes to Emerald guitars. I'm going through as many as I can afford and they are all incredible musical instruments and art. The calendar verifies my positivity.

Being retired, I have some time - send me a couple photos of the new X20 via e-mail and I'll post 'em for you. It may look "about the same" as your 12-sgtring, but it is a new guitar and deserves its own NGD. Enthusiasts here like to see what "the new kid" looks like! Jim

Thanks Jim. When I get caught up after being gone for a week (I'm NOT retired, or at least my clients don't think so) then I hope to take some pictures of the two Green Brothers -- big brother Twelve and little brother Six. I got to spend an hour with it last night in standard and open G tuning, and I'm a happy camper. I can envision reaching for the X20 as my first choice going forward.
In the meantime, any studio shot of a green X20 Artisan from the Emerald web site will be better than what I can take. At 20° here today it is far too cold to go outside and shoot photos in good light. Even the cats don't want to go outside. http://emeraldguitars.com/product/x2...v=7516fd43adaa Now the really dangerous part. After trying your X7 in Phoenix, Alice has been looking at the Emerald web site, and particularly at the bubinga X7 woody.....

 (photo from Kramster)OK, here's a grab from the Emerald site...  I sure enjoyed playing your 12-string X20 - very rich and full sounding. Made me wish I had brought my X20 along this trip. I totally get how the X20 captivates. Enjoy that lovely pair of guitars! Oh, and a green X7 for Alice would look sharp, too.  Or, a bubinga. Either works.

Sean;
Earl says he doesn't need another calendar--if you have one scheduled for him, you can go ahead and send it to me.
