Default Emerald - Amber and Gold

Does anyone here have an amber Emerald with gold tuners?

I’ve been contemplating a cosmetic upgrade to gold tuners on my upcoming X20-7, but haven’t been able to find a picture of the combination on Emerald’s website.

I’ve asked them if they have one, but it’s obviously worth asking here too.

That should be a nice bling setup... get gold on your teeth to match

Amber and gold does look very nice indeed.

Lovely, JR - you might just have convinced me. It's a pretty small upcharge in comparison with the overall cost...

It looks better than I thought it would. I worried there would not be enough contrast but then again with the Amber being so dark I guess it would pop enough. I know I've seen them on green, red and blue and they look good on those, especially the green. I remember a monthly select series that was all green with gold pinstriping and tuners that was really something special. I say go for it.

I'm leaning that way...
