It's all in good fun. Everyone's entitled to their opinions, and it's all so subjective, anyway.
I have a Squier Jaguar electric, which on any given day, I could either hug or use for firewood. Right now, it's in the firewood doghouse, so I'm looking to sell it before I change my mind Then, of course, I'll miss it...

Hey all, reply from Emerald:
I asked the finishing luthiers to run tests on all the X30s, testing the wolf notes on both the D and C# and any note around that and they said they found none on any of the guitars. My playing style is mainly strumming, very rarely doing some minor leads, so I think the X30 will do nicely for me. I have made them aware of the possible issue and, if I move forward, will ask them to pay special attention before shipping. We'll see!

I came very close to an X30. There is a beautiful dyed-blue Koto that I think would have looked pretty spectacular. At the end of the day, I had some concerns about the 17" body size on my 5' 5" frame, and many of the videos I heard seemed bass-heavy, which is not really the direction I wanted to go. I even started thinking that the newly designed X20 would be wonderful. But I'll leave that for a future purchase after some of you have it in hand and can report in. No law against owning a few different CF models, is there? The other close contender was a RainSong, having had great luck with my H-OM. The WS in either the Vintage or Nashville was very appealing. But in the $3500 range, I don't feel it surpassed my final choice. The McPherson Sable videos and reviews I read were consistently excellent. Ultimately I worked with the nice folks at Eddie's Guitars, speaking with Granville, who worked out a nice deal for me. I should have it on Friday. Granville couldn't have been more pleasant or made it any easier. Thanks to everyone for all the input and various directions the thread went!

Thanks Ed! Where upstate are you? Always looking for a chance to meet AGF folks and play a little bit. Hopefully the health situation will change, but an outdoor space would be nice.

I went to college in Albany, further back than I care to recall. Trying to figure out a way to play some guitar with a buddy in the Glens Falls area. If that comes through, I'll let you know. Thanks again for the good wishes!
