Shipping Video 10/7/2022. Who are the lucky new Emerald owners this week???

I really like these videos, they're great anticipation builders. A couple of the guitars in today's seemed to clash a bit, the color of the CF against the veneer.

Maybe I'm the only one that thinks so. As long as it suits the person who bought it, I guess.

Anyhow, two and a half weeks of waiting done . . .

I'm taking him up on his offer to tour the facility in April. Now to see if I can talk the CFO into authroizing a purchase whilst I'm there . . .

Use the $100 credit from Emerald to pay for a guitar that you've built on the Build-a-Guitar and pick it up at the factory. Tell the CFO that you not only saved $100 but also the shipping charge...

You know I was about 2 weeks early to save that hundo. My X20 is paid in full but, by not buying another Emerald, aren't we losing $100? And, like you said, schlepp the thing home and save anohter $200.

We basically cannot afford not to buy an X7 whilst in Ireland.

Yes, some of the colour combinations do seem a little odd, don't they - particularly under the lights. In real life, they're probably rather more subdued.

I do have to say that purple is really growing on me...

Does that have to do with being from Minnesota and Prince???

Well, I'm not actually from Minnesota, but having lived here for 28 years, just a few miles from Paisley Park, there might just be something subliminal going on

The 3D Guitar Builder is an amazing piece of software, but it produces a computerized representation and doesn't substitute for what the actual guitar will look like...

I agree. And while I've always liked purple- not so much on guitars. That Solace changed my mind. What a gorgeous instrument.

Purple is growing on me too. I really like the X20 in his picks of the week!

Purple may not be everybody's mug of stout, but it's hard to believe that given Emerald's vast options, there's not something to suit most everyone's tastes...

Very true.
