Agreed Jim. I recently purchased a used Chevy, took it to the Chevy dealer for an oil change and they put 3 extra quarts in it for me ! How can you beat that for going the extra mile for their customers that own CF guitars !
Alas, Emerald has still only sold the 12 string in the current select series.

Given the size of an X30, the odds are it was aladdy that bought the 12 string.

Funny Friday! As of yet this morning here in Chicago, I have not yet received a shipping notice, but considering there are a few more hours left in the workday in Donegal (presumably), maybe it will still happen. If it doesn't ship today, I most likely will not receive it before I head out on vacation, which would be a bummer. Cheers... Todd in Chicago |

Crud....[emoji852]
Thanks Tof, I think that pretty much stinks any chance of me receiving it before I go on vacation..bummer. Thx again for the update. Did he indicate what the problem was this time? I must say I'm a big Emerald advocate, however it is starting to get a little disappointing, as for seemingly various reasons, shipping keeps getting delayed. To be honest, it does make me feel like something else is going on here that Emerald is not being completely transparent about....but that's probably my overactive imagination....fueled by an excess of sake caused by the delays. It's a viscous cycle!! Lol...cheers and happy Friday! Todd in Chicago |

I don’t think the problem comes from An Post. Emerald is a small company and as such is heavily dependent of a few key persons. When someone is sick it immediately increases the backlog. On top of that Alistair has a tendency to be quite optimistic regarding completion dates
I also think they could probably be more transparent communication wise, even if they’re really nice to deal with and easy to reach (at least when you live in a similar time zone!) In my case I was told I would get my guitar ready for my annual visit in France mid April (I’m French but I live in Norway). If everything goes according to what Kevin told me the guitar should finally ship on Monday That being said it’s the same with more or less all luthiers, and I’m fine with it as long as the guitar sounds great with a good set-up. Fingers crossed, but I have high expectations for my X30! |

https://emeraldguitars.com/2019/04/1...merald-guitar/ ------------- For Todd: I understand how you feel about this whole delay situation. Before we retired, we had a small business (a high end photography studio, portrait and commercial). If it looked like we would be running behind on a project, we put in more hours. We didn't make unrealistic time estimates: better to under-promise and over-deliver. If a delay occurred due to a vendor not getting something to us (rare), our clients got a phone call from us, with an explanation and a new completion date... and the option to have us ship what was ready... and a nice "Thank you for your patience" surprise for them when their order was complete. Good will is a hard thing to get back when lost. Hope your sake supply holds out. |

The X-30 is a BIG guitar. I personally have zero interest in a guitar that big, I think the X-20 is pushing it a bit myself. The burst is a love/hate thing. IMHO it's too abrupt and not blended well at the transition. Some folks like that, I want a burst to be so well blended that you can't see any transitions from one color to the next.
