Default NGD - EMERALD X-7

Just received a new Emerald X-7 from Alistair/Sean in Ireland.
What a very pleasant surprise! Wonderful feel and impressive tone!
I have had several CA guitars including the Cargo and several OX models. As well a Rainsong Dread and OM.
The X-7 is a very refreshing upgrade to all of the above, in overall feel and in tone.
I found both the Rainsong and the CA guitars to be a bit harsh. The Cargo had a little too much bass (And I love bass!)
The construction of the X-7 is superior. One impressive factor is that the top is gloss while the back and sides are matte. This helps keep the guitar from 'sliding' on your lap.

The transaction, via Sean, was great. He is a super communicator. Took my emails in the late evening (his time) and responded with detail.

Good job Alastair and crew!
