Guess I could post a tease shot of testing red on Ziricote.

Eatswodo, that's a great pic! I played a Washburn acoustic with an arm bevel and I was really amazed by how comfortable it made the guitar. Ever since then, I've been obsessed with getting a guitar with one. I almost went with a Taylor until I found Emerald.

If I could find the photo, I would post one of my first nice acoustic (a Gibson) with the crack in the top. Wood. Yeah... CF - it's worth the wait. |

Excellent support work Jim! One day Acwild will look back and realize just how much we've helped him through his wait of pain. Hopefully, in the future, he can help us help others in the same situation.

Oh, I’m totally going to “help” others when my guitar comes in.

When you get your guitar, you will just be giddy. You don't mean to cause others any angst, you are just happy to show it.
I am a bit confused, though... is it the "wait of pain" or the "pain of wait"? |

The agony is real and drowning in one's sorrows is overrated. :-(

Might be better to try drowning in tequila--it mixes nicely with salt.

Another nice helping hand. I think we're doing a nice job of helping acwild through his pain. |

Hi, I was planning on placing an order for an X7 today or tomorrow. I couldn't find payment info on the Emerald website though. Out of curiosity, do you pay just a deposit to place the order or is the payment in full at the time of order?
PS congratulations on your order and I hope the waiting goes easy for you. I had a custom Moore Bettah ukulele built, it took me five years to get it between time begging to get on the list, on the waitlist and construction. The last three months **** near killed me. I even made an iPod playlist of songs about waiting, looks like I'll be revisiting that playlist for this guitar.

Oh Wicked,
Can you put those ipod revelations on this site? I've always paid 1/2 down on my 5 custom Emeralds. However, a production model may require a full down stroke. I'd order while the ordering is good. The relationships of the world are changing rapidly and I suspect it's best to get what you want now. |

I suspect I have the record for waiting. I waited almost a year just to get a guitar from Nevada to Florida. I can't tell you how long I've waited for my various Emerald guitars. The wait was unimportant. Oh, I fretted a bit. But how often do you get the chance to order exactly what you want?
And so I taunt you youngsters awaiting your musical carriage. Call 1-800-boo-hoo. In the meantime, I'll just keep torturing, mocking, and having a great deal of fun at your expense. You can get your money back at the door. Harr Harr! |

Wicked, I spoke with an Emerald rep using the Chat Online function. He sent me a PayPal bill and I paid it in full. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMyCa35_mOg |
