I have to say I found the nylon X30 unexpectedly pleasant to listen to.

I have always preferred the naked carbon weave as well, but then I saw the dyed bird's-eye maple from the May select series... I love how subtle it is, and how you don't even really see it. But then again, sometimes I think maybe it was a waste of money to spend that much on something nobody can see, lol...

In the end, it's just a guitar and I have several, so while I'm a little bit antsy to get my hands on it, at this point I've kind of let it go and made my peace with it so to speak. No need for me to get too worked up about it. I know this was not being done deliberately, so I'll pull through. As expected, I did hear back from Emerald today, and for some reason Alistair wanted a second setup done on and will QA it Thu or Fri, but I've been told it will ship on Friday. So to your point, I hope they make that target. Cheers... Todd in Chicago |

Whaaaa!!?? No love for the deep vintage burst in that color scheme? Lol...apparently Alistair must have liked the way mine came out (which at the time...I thought mine was going to be somewhat unique), because imagine my surprise in seeing 5 very similar looking guitars to mine in the select series email.
Anyway, what I can say based on the pictures is they pretty much nailed the look I wanted. I was all proud as can be and showed my wife the picture and she said "Why did you get one like that? It looks just like your Les Paul..."....lol wives...I have no idea what shes talking about. Cheers... Todd in Chicago |

Fine looking Les Paul, Todd. I have a T5 in a cherry burst that I am quite fond of.
Just thinking outloud here... Hope Emerald has enough X30 cases for these new Select Series offerings. |

I was actually talking to Kevin recently (not gonna tell ya why!) and he said the X30 case issue is resolved. There was an issue with Hiscox delivering the cases.

I wonder if they got X30 case logo stenciling issue fixed. Last time I talked to them a few months ago they could get the X30 cases but they didn't have the Emerald logo yet.

My X30 purchased last December came with a Hiscox case, but no embossed Emerald logo like the X20 cases. FWIW.

I was asking him questions regarding the strength and durability of Kramsters X30 to post in the other thread
