Default Oh you svelte and sumptuous beasts!

Well a box full of Emeralds arrived from Ireland in 5 business days.
Hitherto I had never touched one, much less two.
Amicus and RedX7 are some serious musical instruments.
Fit, finish, quality, playability/tunability, and tone/sound are excellent!
Will be glad to come off the road so I can record sweet music!

Thanks to all you CF forum connoisseurs for your gas assistance
and to Emerald for awesome guitars and customer service!
YAYYY!

Congrats on the new guitar. Love the mug, BTW. Alistair asked Sean to send me one back on July 10th, they must have used a different carrier.

A double winner in one week. Very tasty pair, I look forward to hearing how they play out.

Those are two beautiful guitars. I received my X7 Monday and I simply love it. Love the mug and card I got with mine as well.

Or it fell through a crack getting guitars shipped before they went on the two-week company summer vacation recently. Gotta respect them for prioritizing guitar shipments first.

Congrats, Song!

Well, how cool is that?!! Double Congrats to you, Song - that is very exciting! So, I have to ask: were the shamrocks in there from Emerald, or added after you received those pretty instruments?

OK, one more question: which did you pick up and play first?

Goodness, that red is very striking! I'm rambling now, aren't I?

Enjoy,
Jim

Wow, two new beauties at once. That's like the wife giving birth to twins and you standing there not knowing which one to hold first

Congrats on the new additions!

Nice! Congrats.

I played a double neck last summer. Loved it!

I swear those guys must change the color of the Gig Bags every 6 months. Mine is Red, then they were green, and now blue.

Once you get settled in I am looking forward to a report on the Amicus, and how and when you use it.
