Default Emerald X20 and x30 photo shoot

in a moment of clarity, I reconsidered a potential return of the red flame maple top Emerald x30 I bought shortly after the X20 I bought during the 25% off anniversary sale. It delivers an sound that is unique, bigger, deeper and fuller. This works great for a lot of the music I play and it sounds especially great amplified.

I decided to immortalize my amazing Emerald guitars with a photo shoot in my backyard.

Lovely! In that nice Arizona weather, they should be poolside wearing swimsuits!

Lovely collection there. Nice to see that someone knows how to install strings properly

And how do you keep them so clean? Is there no dust in Arizona?

Great photos, they are two stunning guitars. I especially like the X-20, I think you said it is freak maple but it looks like super curly koa which I love.

Yep!

...and the Halloween shipping video (the next-most recent one) has a transparent black top over quilted maple veneer, with vibrant teal back and sides.

So you absolutely can get what you want. And more and more people are preferring it.
