Emerald announces payment options.
Emerald's aren't cheap, but most who've gotten one feel they're worth the money. Looks like it's going to be a bit easier to add an Emerald to your stable now...50% deposit then five payments.

I've noticed that nothing was being added their "Current Stock", and that there have been no carbon only models for quite some time. A smart production move to avoid spending time building instruments that just sit around.
I did think it was also a good idea to have models that were ready to go though with no wait for the impatient customer. Am I assuming correctly that all guitars going forward will be built to order? |

I also emailed them last week about a guitar I was considering ordering. They got back to me today, but the answers were very brief, like 1 sentence brief, and they were trying to steer me to a standard model. I got the feeling they were a bit overloaded at the moment and trying to discourage my custom ideas. Maybe it was just bad timing on my part? |

Regarding the near future, Ireland’s widely reported rise in Covid cases and subsequent lockdown mandates appear to be a major factor affecting the availability of Emeralds. In the most recent shipping video Alistair states that a lot of his staff is now working remotely. As I recall, earlier in the pandemic they had a much larger inventory heading into lockdown. Not so this time. I feel very fortunate in having been able to purchase my two Emeralds from then available stock. |

Seems like for the time being, used Emeralds will be a seller's market.

Emeralds are not a buyer’s market either. I’ve seen a handful over the last year, most on Reverb. Those are/have been overpriced too, many asking prices close to new.
