Default The Emerald March 2020 Select Series...

The inlay work on the fretboard is beautiful!

Isn't it lovely? Since seeing it, I've been devoting way too much time trying to think of something unique for my next Emerald.

There will be a 'next' one, one of these days, even if I have to win some competition to get it

Rufus, outlined in silver with a red jewel eye... centred around the 12th fret, but probably extending above the 11th and below the 12th so there'd be some size to him...

That's ok. There'll always be one on the left until there are none left.

I would go for the middle one. Unless it's down to an even number; then I'd go for the one on the right so as not to interfere with Eatswodo.

Cute that David thinks he is going to win the competition. ;-)

I LOVE the inlays. Gorgeous, totally in sync with the vibe of the guitar, tasteful, and all that I had hoped Emerald might someday do.

I'm stoked that future Emerald guitars will have a set of options for fretboard inlays as Alistair works out how to get them done in production mode! Yet another advance in making these guitars even more beautiful as well as wonderful sounding.
