For Trade: Emerald X20 Custom Woody for Emerald nylon

Methos1979 · #1 03-19-2019, 03:06 PM

I know this is a long shot but I'm considering a new Emerald custom build for a nylon guitar and thought I'd check here to see if anyone just happens to have an Emerald nylon guitar they want to trade for an Emerald steel string guitar.

Mine is a highly customized X20 woody. Custom features are beautiful cocobolo woody top with amber color back and sides, K&K pickup system, short scale 24.6" and custom soft V neck carve based on a mold taken from a Santa Cruz I used to own. Nut width is 1 3/4", string spacing is 2 1/4". Guitar is in excellent condition and comes with Emerald gig bag.

Ideal trade would be for a short scale X10 or X20 with equally awesome woody top and amber back and sides (favorite color) but willing to consider any Emerald nylon string guitar.

Per forum rules I must post a value. This guitar would cost $3,500 today and you'd wait 6 months for it. So I put the trade value at $3,000. I'm not looking to sell at this time but if nothing pops for trade and I end up going the custom order route (for the third time) then I might be willing to sell at that point so PM me your interest and I'll keep you on file.

Here are some home photos and photos from Emerald:

Not much in the way of nylon Emerald trades, not surprisingly. Getting ready to pull the trigger on another custom so this one might become a for sale in the near future.

I have an early example of a Emerald nylon. It's nice and the go to guitar hanging on my bedroom wall. I'm sure that more recent nylon Emeralds would be more desirable but if you might be interested in it with some cash for your woody please let me know.

Thanks for the offer but looking for newer style Emeralds.

Lol - you've already GOT an X20. And TWO X30s! Or, did you sell your X20? I don't see it in your sig line anymore...
