I always read these Emerald threads with interest. We have a CA Cargo that we are quite happy with (it lives in taro patch tuning) so there is little interest at our house for another CF travel guitar. But I do have considerable interest in the bigger Emeralds, like the X20-12 twelve string or the double neck Chimaera in six & twelve configuration.
I've had two NGD's this year, but will never post about them because I don't want to set up a photo hosting account and don't have time to make audio samples. Throw all the penalty flags you want....
