When I bought my X20 Select Series, I made that decision the same day they were offered; that Series sold out over the weekend if I recall correctly.
If you aren't willing to wait for a monthly Select Series, with the hope that they will create the guitar of your dreams, you can still get what you want by ordering a Custom and waiting the 5 months or so that it will take to create that guitar just for you.
The guitar you linked to is a cocobolo woody from the January Select Series. They are gorgeous, and what I was considering for a custom build when the louro preto woody Select Series came up. I think that X20 sold right away. I recall with the January Select Series that Alistair said there may not be any more cocobolo offerings when those were sold.
Hope that helps. Contact Sean at Emerald - he is knowledgeable and helpful.
