Just received my Emerald X7 Artisan Amber.
(Through many attempts, stupid me was finally able to insert an image through photobucket.)
Here is a picture of my X7 showing the satin neck I requested.
I also had K&K mini pure installed.
Sean at Emerald Guitar was fantastic insuring I got exactly what I requested for my X7, and always answered my many emails promptly.

I'm not a fan of round wound strings (finger squeaks) so like all my acoustics, I installed a set of D'addario Chrome flat wounds on my X7 and I think it sounds great.
