Yes its a slimmer more electric feeling neck similar to the X10. Its a very comfortable neck profile

Nice!
The claro walnut model available has the exact same veneer as my future custom X20… tempting |

I notice that custom scale length is now also available in the builder. It has a bug though. Custom scale length 24.5 is selected by default and it is impossible to have none of the custom scale lengths selected! And a question: Why no plain vibrant weave without any color on top? My gold X20 wants a silver companion.

A couple of other comments: 1) I like the diagrams showing bridge, 12th fret and nut positions for the custom scale lengths. The standard scale length really should be in there as well, for comparison, and as the ‘zero extra cost’ option. 2) An X20 with a 27” scale is more expensive than an X20 Baritone - which has a 27” scale as standard. That seems a little odd, but I’m probably missing something. There maybe others, but given the enormous range of guitars and options that Emerald now offer, I’m not surprised that one or two might have slipped through the cracks. And to think that folks were getting concerned, not so long ago, about the scaling back of customization

With the resins we use there is always a little bit of a golden tint over the carbon so we prefer to add a colour rather than leave it natural silver. We have however done it and it looks good. |

2) Its essentially because we had a specific mould for a Baritone in the past but now build it custom off the new X20 platform. The Baritone price was just never increased when we changed it to a custom build. Ill have a look at that again. Yeah its hard to get every little detail perfect but we try. I appreciate the feedback. |

So an honest question - how did people get virtuos that were custom built already? They were just released, and they take 3 to 4 months to construct if I'm not mistaken still. Were certain people told that they could buy these early?

When Emerald was doing their Select Series of guitars each month, I was able to get an X20 with a Louro Preto veneer from their second ever Select Series, with no wait. I think that month's Select Series sold out in about 3 days. I would imagine if you want to custom order a veneer on a Virtuo, you will be looking at the typical wait times.

I recently ordered an X20 and will consider adding a Virtuo in the future if they offer it with a wider neck (1 3/4" nut).
With all the "acoustic guitar for electric players" models out, there really needs to be more "electric guitars for acoustic players". I play in an acoustic duo and am doing more lead playing with effects over loops. It will be interesting how they evolve the Virtuo and X10 Slimline models. |
