Thanks! 20 is a good number for us if 14 frets on the neck. If we decide we don't need a removable neck, the v2 X7 is one of the top contenders. We play rhythm a lot, so 12 frets work well. Lots of research left to do.
I have seen the Emerald X7 necks characterized as "moderate C", whatever that means. Thanks for the comparison to Taylor. That I understand. Bob spent a fortune on mechanization at Taylor. The necks are consistent.
So the RainSong N2/NS necks are "fatter" than the Emerald v2 X7? Good info on the Shorty's neck. I'll scratch that off the list. I saw one on Reverb.
I have Taylors and a Martin OOO21 custom shop with the modified low oval with performing artist taper neck. Smaller the better.
