Default Emerald live!

Watching Alistair on Facebook Live, on a radio station, discussing his builds, the upcoming Anniversary Event, and some music. I thought there might be a "preview" of the "4 new models"... not yet.

I don't book any face, so I'm not hearing any of this. Are you saying that Alistair is doing a resonator?

did a one off, but took 3 years. sounded so good today is thinking of maybe doing a regular model (probably a joke) but there are 4 models coming out. probable an x 30.

So are we expecting an X30 that will be a larger version of the X20? That would be nice except I just bought a Rainsong BI-WS. I'd have held out!

I had a green old school X-30 back in the day. If that is actually the new one then should be nice to hold, then cool beans ... or Lucky Charms...or.. It did look kinda big in the video but maybe folks are smaller when they have an Irish accent or maybe YouTube adds 20 lbs to a guitar.

So if an X-20 is bigger than a X-7 and X-7 bigger than an X-5... cool you may just be on to something...nice ... wonder if there was an X-10... never mind ...I need a nap.

And I'm still holding out to see what the new options are. Glad I've held my GAS in check so far. It ain't easy!
