Default '20 Emerald X20-12 w/ Satin Finish SOLD

I received a Rainsong 12-string guitar this past week and after much deliberating, decided that I'd like to move my AS NEW black satin finished Emerald X20-12 to a new home. It does not have a built-in pickup, comes with an Emerald gig bag (no Hiscox case) and has the "old style" bridge with pins. Those particular features will either make great selling points or deterrents depending on the prospective buyer. It's in excellent condition and the sale price of SOLD will include CONUS shipping and PayPal fees. ABSOLUTELY NO TRADES I will also include the handmade mug from Moville Pottery shown below...

In addition to the features named above, a prospective buyer will want this particular guitar because:

1) He wants the most comfortable 12-string guitar that money can buy.
2) He wants a very simplistic and "stealthy" looking Emerald without paying the current $400 uncharge for a satin finish. Turn to 2:12 in the shipping video below to see and hear this amazing guitar.
3) He doesn't want to wait months for a new Emerald.
4) He doesn't want the potential aggravation that comes with overseas shipping.
5) He doesn't want to gamble and end up paying extra fees that sometimes accompany new guitars from Donegal.
6) He wants a 12-string with a very balanced and focused, non-jangly tone.
7) He wants a very unique Emerald 12-string.



Scale length - 25 ½”/650mm
Nut Width - 1 15/16″/48.5mm
Bridge Spacing - 2 1/2″/63mm
Overall Length - 40″/1020mm
Max Body Width - 15 ¼”/390mm
Max Body Depth - 4 ¾”/120mm
Max Body Length - 19″/480mm
Weight - 5.7lbs/2.6kg
Frets 24 medium stainless steel frets
Tuners - Gotoh 510 tuners 18:1 ratio (cosmo black)

Lovely guitar! I assume this is the 'latest' X20 design (except for bridge pins, satin, etc.)?

Very tempting!

It was built last fall and has a pinned bridge, and the end of the fretboard above the box is squared off so I'm going to suggest that mine is the "classic" version...

Andy's questions are good ones.

Standard slim D neck profile? I had one of these (with a wood veneer). Sounded very nice and stayed in tune really well!
