This means fees on Emerald guitars might be a new thing this year if the guitar was ordered this year. If this is the case, my x20 shouldn't have a fee since I ordered in mid December. I'll report what I find out at the end of this week/beginning of next week.

I don’t think this theory is correct. I ordered my Emerald in January, received it yesterday and paid no duty. If I had to guess I’d say K20C was charged in error.
