I was visualizing an Emerald with a double set of robot tuners.

David;
You could have said that in a nicer way: It could be "the best case of neck dive ever." See how much more positive that sounds? Just saying.............. |

How about "Why would you strap 2 pounds of electro-mechanical junk that no-one's ever had a good word to say about to the headstock of the world's most beautiful 12-string acoustic?" How's that?

That's just real good. I'm coming to think of you as a sensitivity warrior. Carry on.............

This guitar inspired me. I think I’m ready to order exactly this in a 6 string. Anything you’d do differently now?

Not really. I love the satin finish, don't need/want built-in electronics, and their soft cases are very nice and all the protection I'd ever need. My next Emerald in 12 months will probably be a six-string to match the 12 string. Fast forward to 2:12 in the shipping video below...

That playing demo sounded nice. I'd love to play one of those and the X30.

Just ordered a black satin 6 string, no electronics. Would make a great twin but of course it’s the new design. Emerald honored a $300 quote from last month but new pricing for satin is $400. I’d be curious to know what drives that price, makes me think a consistent satin is more labor intensive to achieve. Thanks for the inspiration.

I've seen an Emerald with a very heavy satin finish - almost like orange peal. Does the satin finish on yours feel any different than typically seen on wood guitars? Is the satin upgrade a binary choice - yes/no - or are their variations to specify? I'd like the "lightest" finish possible I guess. Thanks |

The orange peel type finish is their Crystal Ice, used on the sides and back; I'm not aware of any example of that used on the top. I am a fan of the Crystal Ice finish; I ordered that on the sides and back of the X10. It adds a contrast interest with the glossy top. The satin finish is something relatively new for Emerald, and not the same as the Crystal Ice finish.
