Question for you knowledgeable ladies and gents.... the August series come with Schertler tuners, how do these compare with the Goto 510 18:1 that come with the standard model, is either one of these considered better than the other?
Prompt reply appreciated
I have both, X7 nylon (Schertlers) and X7 steel string. The Schertlers seem to have a higher ratio (don't know what it is). Much easier to dial in, so I prefer them.

RED = GREAT

I think red is the nicest as a standalone color without veneer and other bell and whistle. The slotted headstock is the perfect compliment for this color.

Emerald is jerkin' our chains (in a good way ). There are woodies, then hound art, then different woodies, then fan frets, then vertical weave / pinless bridge, then different woodies and then slotted headstocks with steel-string, nylon and fan frets. Please, keep - it - up!

That has been one of the fun parts of being an Emerald watcher: seeing what Alistair comes up with for each month's Select Series. Getting to own one is pretty cool, too.

I already said this in my fake August special thread, but I cannot imagine that a "Monthly Special" would sit well with fans of Martin for example, I'm pretty sure it would be very unpopular and they'd take a lot of flak .

But, somehow with c.f it's not only acceptable, but exiting and very welcome.


O wonder!
How many goodly creatures are there here!
How beauteous mankind is! O brave new world
That has such guitars in't!

(OK, I altered Bill Shakespeare's last line to what I believe he meant to say)

Mmmmm. If I had the cash lying around, I would grab both of those X20s!
