Default 2nd Lefty Emerald on the way

Well, Alistair and his awesome social media team sold another Lefty X20. This thing kept popping up in my email and on FB. Since my wood guitars have been getting a well earned rest, I thought a bit of carbon infused wood in my life might be a good thing.

Can’t wait to play it!

That's gorgeous. I thought I had a strong preference for Cocobolo and Pau Ferro among the veneers Emerald offers, but the more I see of some of the others, I think it's more that there may be one or two I like less than the rest, but most of them are sublime.

I think this top could be a Rorschach test with everyone seeing something different in it, but whether you see angels singing or Hell's Angels riding in formation, it's a beautiful thing!

Congratulations!

-Ray

You are a very fortunate fellow. Looking at this one made me wish I was left-handed.
