Whoever bought that X7 before I could...I hate you.
 My spouse (who literally looked to the heavens and said “thank you,” wants to buy you a beer.

Those woody models seem to be selling REALLY fast these days, and understandably so. I just happened to stumble onto my Cocobolo X7 about a half hour after they put it up on the site, bought it, and it was gone from the site within minutes - seemed like while the transaction was still going through I checked the site to look at a couple of details and it was already gone. There was a Pau Ferro and an Ebony model up at the same time - the Pau Ferro sold really fast also - there's another really nice one up there at the moment...
It's a big upcharge for no functional difference, but those veneers are SOOOO nice. I ordinarily never spend money on those types of cosmetics but I'm glad I did with this one. I'm likely to have this guitar a REALLY long time - very likely as long as I'm playing and I'll always appreciate it even though the finish is really hard to see in ordinary light... I get an occasional glimpse of it from the right angle in the right light and it makes me smile. -Ray

I don't have nearly enough to purchase one of the select series instruments but every single month I read the e-mail and check out the site. Why do I do this to myself?

All gone except the X20 Baritone and 12-string. Now if that baritone was an X30 I bet it would sell faster than lightning.

Yeah, X30 koa baritone nylon string....... I can hear it calling me.....I can feel the gravitational pull........ I can hear the magical tone ...... it would be perfect for playing the Bach cello suites.......I don't have an X 30 yet......I don't have a koa Emerald guitar yet....

So Cecil, what are you waiting for? Rust never sleeps, don't be denied. This is sort of like the chance of a lifetime. You've been a central figure in Alistair's development of nylon string guitars, don't stop now.

Alistair says it should make Friday's outgoing shipment (got to speak with "the man" himself this morning) but I can be patient. I'll make do with the three Emerald's already here in the mean time. I may eventually experiment with heavier strings tuned down to C-c as a pseudo-baritone. That huge low end should support down-tuning nicely. On another thread asking about how AGF influenced your purchases, I can now add four Emeralds. And we also secondarily "blame" Kramster, who let me try his padauk X30 during our recent visit to Phoenix.
