Never seen an Emerald much less play one. This would be a good time for me to say the phrase, "I have no dog in this fight".
But Jon, a way back you also said the OF660 is "ugly". Now them there is fightin' words Anybody who wants can send me their Emerald for a full aesthetic evaluation. Any model will do. I'm not picky

When I look at a GX, X, GX-OS, and Cargo my mind goes cool, an acoustic Stratocaster (functional, different, sleek). Most of the other non-traditional designs somehow don't trigger the same neurons for me :~(. Though when I owned those CAs I had to put felt on the lower waist to stop the Ovation sliding effect.

So you don't see that the recording was optimized for the X30 thereby distorting the tone of the HD-28?

Hi Chris, Sorry I should have clarified, I disagree that Emeralds are ugly, and i think that the D-28 has been the standard for many years as opposed to the HD-28. I had a D-28 for many years, wonderful guitar. It's hard for me to compare an 28 to an Emerald, they are so different in form and function. I never put any faith on what I hear on Youtube. I do prefer the X20 to the big Martin by experience. But I prefer my 000-15sm to the previous version X7 that I had. We all like different things, so Jon can think Emeralds are ugly and I can think they are a work of art. It's all good.

Well, I put a lot of faith in the informative and truthful things that I see on youtube. How can we not believe that we are being visited by aliens, for example?
But when it comes to guitars, I am extra skeptical about what I am hearing and seeing. I don't believe carbon fiber guitars exist, so this video was faked somehow (that honeycomb top is a dead giveaway - they didn't even try to make it look like a real guitar), but the music is good anyway. Tony

Hi Earl,
To quote Kramster...Yup! I'm bringing my just received Emerald X20 Ziricote woody to have a comparison with Palolo Warrior's new McPherson Sable. Looking forward to a fun time next week! |
