Fix it and start a road trip? Personally as long as people were willing to pay for shipping it forward I think this could be a business opportunity for Emerald to consider. I know I would do it to take an X20 for a test drive, OR an X7!
I never participated in the MacNicol road trips but always thought it was a great concept. How else can we really try these rare instruments? When is the last time you saw a RainSong at your local GC or Sam Ash...much less an Emerald?

I love that idea. I did participate in that roadshow. As I recall I got a new model Rainsong to try for a month and then shipped it to the next guy for $50 Now I’m waiting on an X20 I ordered in November but I would have bought it a year ago if I could have tried one. I eventually found someone local who was nice enough to let me try theirs but it took about a year to find one in Minneapolis |

The point is well made though. I participated in one of Harvey's Voyage-Air road trips. Well worth the cost of shipping to the next person. Shipping full size guitars has gotten crazy expensive though.

I guess I didn't think about the cost of shipping guitars and should know better having one sent to me and shipping one out in the last year. The size is key; I had an OF660 shipped to me in a cute little box that you would never believe had a guitar in it, and it cost half of what I paid to ship a full size guitar- the latter of which cost me over $90.00 expedited.
