The X20-12 is one fantastic 12 string.

Mark, you’ve tried or own just about everything Emerald, or otherwise. I think a new X30 or that archtop would be new, exciting experiences for you.

I'm seriously considering a custom woody X7 in the new design. Have Alistair do another V neck (hoping he made a mold of the first one he did for me!) along with a cocobolo woody top, amber back and sides. 24.6" scale, K&K... Hmmm...

My next one is in process; X10-OSN electric. In the past I've gone for the Emerald acoustic/electric guitars--now I'm going for electric/acoustics. The thin hollow-bodied X7-OSN has a remarkable acoustic presence and really lights up when electrified. I'm thinking that the new 10 electric could become my only guitar.
