Default Anyone near STL (w/an X7?)

I'd love to play one....

I've got an x30 and an el Capitan

(Also, might be fun to do a carbon jam night if there are enough of us in the metro area...)

FWIW I recently posed the idea to Kevin @ Emerald Guitars that they "set up" a network of contented customers who would be willing to show their Emeralds to interested potential customers. Emerald would maintain a database and match those interested in purchasing or least trying out an Emerald with those who own them based on geography and guitar model. My plan would offer the "Demonstrators" a modest commission if the demonstration results in a sale. The commission could be in the form of dollars or a credit toward an Emerald. Kevin said he was going to pass it on to Alistair so if you like the idea, email Kevin/Alistair with your thoughts...

Dang... I wish I were. I'm the biggest Cardinal fan you've ever seen! Lol...

And you could play my X-7 too. However, I'm not, but I hope you find one to play because I believe you'll like it. Sweet guitars... sound great and super-comfortable to play.

While I live in St. Louis, I do not own any Emeralds...Yet! However, I do own a Composite Acoustics GX and a Composite Acoustics Cargo. I’d also LOVE to try your X30. Maybe we should meet up sometime. Hopefully there are some other St. Louis Carbon Fiber lovers as well.

We are currently considering a trip to London in June and I think my wife is willing to take a side trip to Ireland. Maybe it’s time to finally tour the Emerald facility in Donegal. I’ve emailed Alistair in the past about such a trip but our plans fell through.

Regards,

Bill Coplin

I was going to invite you over to Evansville to demo. I have two X7s. Looks like you solved your problem, though.
