Default It followed me home from the internet ...(X7-os)

Many thanks to StillStephen for a smooth and easy transaction.

I had about a half hour of daylight left, and grabbed a quick picture while I had light with my Larrivee Parlor (Size 0) for scale.

Really impressed by how balanced the little X7 is. Much more bass than one would expect from such a small body, but I think the offset soundhole contributes quite a bit to that.

The X7 "feels" smaller than the Larrivee, even though they are essentially the same size. I think it's the arm bevel.



Tonight's project will be new strings, and a slight adjustment to the action for fingerpicking.

We hope you get lots of enjoyment out of your X7, AZLiberty!

Best wishes from all the team here at Emerald Guitars HQ,
