CA LEGACY VS EMERALD X20
I have new CA Legacy with gloss finish and I am considering an Emerald X20. What differences can I expect in tone and playability? Emeralds are not easy to find to play one

My comparison wasn't quite the same... I went from a CA Cargo Raw to an Emerald X-7. So, if it helps... I found my Emerald to be a better balance in tone. The Cargo was a little more booming in the bass. The Emerald has a better mid-range and a little more lovely trebles.
I found build quality to be similar. I think the stunning finishes of the Emerald have captivated a lot of us. But both are excellent CF guitars and I have been happy with both. |

Thanks for the reply Kerbie. I suspect the raw finish of your Cargo would present a different tone than a gloss finish?

Oh yes, I thought the Raw was much different from the gloss. The gloss had a rounder, warmer tone. The Raw has more mids, but especially more trebles than the gloss.
So, I would imagine you will notice an even bigger difference in your comparison! I haven't played those though. I found Sean's help to be excellent and the opinions on this forum are also very helpful. Good luck! |
