Advanced apologies if this info has already been posted.

Just found some recently published interviews with Alistair Hay on youtube.

Here is 1 of the 5 videos.

That X20 looks to be what I ordered 4 months ago, be nice if they washed the mug and shipped both out this Friday.

Ah yes, the "Rufus" mug. Not the best part of getting a new Emerald, but definitely icing on the cake.

That is a great video; lots of good info. My favorite part: "Cuz I wouldn't tell you, anyway!"

I have no idea how they mould that as one piece, but I am glad they do - I love the seamless look on my Emeralds. Interesting about the varying thickness in the top. The X20 is certainly resonant when you tap the top.

Steelvibe, these really are special guitars - you should get one.

Arco, thanks for the chuckle. Hope yours shows up very soon!
