Now just a darn minute, you two. Being nice has been my thing... if you two are going to usurp that, where does that leave sweet little ol' me? There's a limit to how nice and for how long I can manage... the X10 has really helped with that.

Captain, Captain, slow down there. You sound a little cranky this morning. Get a cup of coffee, grab the 10, and play. Kramster and I will help you manage and maintain your niceness.

Cranky? Moi? I've been thinking of changing my name here to Captain Nicey-Nice. I'm a little ray of sunshine. Oh, and I don't drink coffee... but I do have an Emerald mug of hot cocoa every morning (helps top off my sweetness).

Guitarweb;
Excuse us for digressing a bit while calming down the Captain--he's pretty excitable. To get back to the question of purchasing a CF guitar. I don't think you can go wrong with Blackbird, Emerald, Rainsong, or CA/Peavey--each company is making stellar guitars. A number of us have become fans of Emerald, in part because Alistair will make us what we want. His guitar IQ and player-driven approach are producing some killer guitars. Keep us posted on what you are deciding--we are living vicariously through you.

Oh! There's a pair there: Cranky Captain and Kranky Kramster. There's a song there somewhere.

Thanks for all the chuckles there ! In all the time I spend on this forum, I don't think I have ever seen anybody exhibit cranky behavior, well maybe there was one, but I forget that one, and he wasn't around long. Life's too short to act like that. I played my X20 today outside in the 75 degree weather, all was good for that time. And I had Quiche for lunch.

I have to say this recent set of posts is enlightening .... Now I would like to meet some of you in person! Not likely unless I you are coming to Alaska ...... but then I do get to the lower 48 frequently so .... who knows, but I certainly do appreciate the wonderful input received thus far .... Kevin and I continue to talk about what the instrument I’ll order will look like and include and I certainly expect everyone will live vicariously through this and swoon when I finally get it built and post pics (quite a bit down the road at this point)

I have a custom x20-12 and love it. Mine is featured on Emeralds site in their custom porfolio....its the one with the Ziricote veneer. Such a beautiful sound...for me its actually kind of difficult to describe the sound, I feel it is unique.
Have fun... Todd in Chicago

Todd, If you don’t mind me asking what (besides the Ziricote veneer) did you choose? THe Ziricote is interesting to see as a veneer, one of my Breedlove 12’s has Ziricote sides and back, and I love how the sound and look ....
