Lovely! Koa has a 3D look to it, and that is a gorgeous veneer on a delightful instrument - happy holidays to you!

Very nice indeed. I love the way the figure on the koa complements the shape of the body, particularly around the end of the fretboard.

Beautiful guitar. Now you just “need” an X10. Also, nice collection; Kramster is almost starting to get jealous(his Emeralds are so “last decade”).

I think we should just respectfully refer to the Kramster collection as "vintage"

But yes, I think the Koa is a marvelous look and congrats! BTW dmcginnis, wasn't it you that were relatively new to carbon fiber and started with an X7 just a couple years ago? I think we PM'd a little about that X7 and now just look at that collection

Yes, my stash of Emeralds is relatively young; however, I was an early experimenter with an X5-OS blem many years ago. The Emeralds are so well balanced in their sound. I play in DADGAD and they all shine.

I love koa. All of my Emerald guitars are plain weave, but I get to gaze lovingly at my wife's koa veneer X7 and bubinga veneer X7. Your X20 is very sweet!
