They all look nice in their own way but man the veneer on that X20 really stood out to me.

I agree also!

Also agree - the X20 is pretty cool. I had been going back and forth for weeks on a new build that had the exact same veneer as the X7 with the sapwood 'wings' (for want of a better term) but I just couldn't decide between X7 & X10, nylon or SS, and pickup. Then after picking up Evan's X10 nylon slim I tabled the whole project as I was then one CF heavy. Now that I see it in person I'm sort of glad I waited. While it's a looker, I find I much prefer the X20 veneer. Not that I'm the market for any more Emeralds at this point! I still need to sell at least one!!

I like that X7 with the hooks too. I almost picked that exact veneer! It sure looks nice as a finished guitar...not sure yet if I'm second-guessing my choice.

All gone, but one..................................That was fast. Have to wait until August to see it again.
Later...........the Amicus is still available and I'm tempted--but my wife says she will not do the tuning for me, so that's out. Last edited by Guest 928; 07-14-2019 at 05:38 PM. |

All gone. The popularity of the select series has amazed me relative to the production ability and the demand. Alistair is on a roll.
I presume that there will not be an August series since Emerald will be focusing on the new X10 electric. |

Eatswodo;
Apparently so. My previous 10 electric was slim but not thin and was passed along to someone who liked slim. Alistair was not overly enthusiastic about a 2inch thin-bodied, nylon string, electric/acoustic guitar. And so I threw a several month hissy fit and a petition was started to get Alistair's attention. Eventually I shamelessly persuaded Alistair to give me what I wanted for Christmas. I'm not sure which Christmas, but somewhere down life's highway I'll be getting a ten version of the X7 thin-bodied electric acoustic with a 1 7/8" nut and a Barbera active pickup. There's a long thread regarding this guitar in which Tom2 suggests that the scale, radius, nut width, and so forth make this 10 the only guitar like it in the whole world--I can hardly wait. |

I hope they do get on with it for you, because that will free up time for them to build my x20-7

I'll recommend that you're 20-7 will closely follow my 10.

Should we go by deposit date? I might be at the front of the queue if that's the case.

Just beautiful! I hope there is an x10 level two in my future. Intrigued by that electronics setup. Great video, Alistair!
