22 Emerald shipped last Friday
Hello,
In case you are the type that checks AGF before emails, Chloe just sent me a link to a video of all 22 guitars by Alistair. The link is; https://www.facebook.com/EmeraldGuit...4448369404089/ Mine is the coco X7 moody. Fyi, they are in London last time I checked. That tripple-headedmonster alone is worth checking out the video. Personally, mine looks the best, what's your say? Have fun! Last edited by Gitaman; 12-11-2018 at 01:13 PM. |

I got that email too. My stock red X30 appears at 4:29 in the video. Your coco X7 looks very pretty, Gitman. But the cocobolo "cross" veneer destined for Scott probably takes the cake.
As is typical, An Post tracking showed it as "despatched from Heathrow" and then nothing updated from USPS since. But at least I can assume it is on this side of the pond now. I did respond thanking Chloe and saying that the video was very cool, but is NOT making the wait any easier. Congrats to Alistair and company on shipping out 22 guitars last week! |

I agree, Earl, though not my style, that cross on cocobolo looks very cool. I, too, have been thinking red for my X20. I am sure you will love your X30. Hope you get it soon. Doing my best to not dwell on it and failing... I am sure you are used to it. |

That is great Kramster ! A good chuckle there. Sorry I got nothing to contribute except that I enjoyed the post on FB and have a bit of jealousy for those receiving those guitars.

Nicely done, sir - but is it right to assume that they are all heading to the USA? Some may land with happy owners before even disappearing into the shipping abyss we here are all conditioned to...

If I were to purchase an Emerald, I think it would be the blue X20 fan fret 7 string. They all looked quite interesting though.

Yes, the cat is out of the bag, as I'd feared it might. I was hoping to have it in hand for a NGD before it appeared anywhere else but it's not a big deal. To clarify, the veneer is Ziricote with the unique sapwood first seen on Jeff's Ruby Cross guitar. I'll save the rest for the final unveiling although the keen eye surely spotted a few other gems.
There's also potentially a fairly large issue with the guitar which might necessitate a return although I'm waiting to see it in person before making that call. You know, just to drum up some more suspense. On a positive note, it did pop up on USPS tracking after the transit blackout so I'm optimistic I might even get it this week which is great considering it shipped last Thursday. Much better than the three-week nightmare last year when a whole bunch disappeared! |

If you ever get the urge, Tony, I'd be very happy to let you take a look at my X20. We're in the same neck of the woods. I should warn you, however, that there's already been one order after such an encounter

I didn't get the email, but I'm right in the next room so you folks turned me on--what a beautiful collection of musical instruments. I really like the 3 necker, but Kramster already put in his dibs. He's quick.

Ahoy there Kramster! Add me to your ship of fools! I'll gladly be a part of the crew!
