Default The August Select Series released...

Beautiful Royal Ebony this month. With a surprise first of the month release. Some very striking veneers. And, I guess this means they put Evan's guitar off a bit while working on these. I see the X7 is already sold. Anyone here get that one? It's a beauty!

And a bit of a "behind the scenes" look at the building of the X30 in that Series...

Nice performance, too.

They really need to just stop with these select series. I do not need, nor do I have room for more guitars!

I notice there was no use of the words "want" or "desire" in your post.

Apparently, they are sending these notification e-mails to other people, as well? I thought they just really wanted me to have one.

The thing that really amazes me with royal ebony is how 2 different pieces can look so dramatically different. The same can be said for other veneers as well but not to the extent of royal ebony.

I really enjoyed that "behind the scenes" video.

Three down, three to go--and it's still the first week.

It looks like the 30 may have come back--3 of the August series are still available with lots of time left in the month.

I'm thinking that the September series will be one guitar (my 10 electric) and it will already be spoken for.

I am guessing you meant September of 2020? Maybe ours will go out on the same shipment‽

I don't worry about the long wait because time flies like an arrow while fruit flies like a banana.

The X30 came back, but the Amicus is gone. Still 2 left. Too bad I don't have that kind of pocket change lying about to change the number again.
