Perhaps because the seller isn't an AGF member. If Emerald sells 600 guitars in the US per year, and we as a group purchase maybe two dozen (or even three dozen), that's a lot of Emerald owners in the US alone who may have never heard of AGF...

Couldn’t find it on eBay, but here it is, in all its 9-string glory, on Reverb:

Custom string set is the only way to go. I can’t buy an off-the-shelf set for my X20-7 anywhere, so Newtone gets my business. I can’t imagine that anyone has anything ready to go for a 9-string nylon fan fret.

Yeah I was wondering what guage the lower strings could possibly be...even checked the harp guitar website but they had nylon core not straight nylon for heavy guage.

Could put on an extra 3 treble E strings and go for the high ground.
