Default Emerald Carbon with colored metallic wire

Has anyone seen, or ordered a guitar with this new-ish finish? I would love to see a good photo!

Here’s a few of my recently acquired Amicus. The finish is subtle, but when the light hits it just right, it really pops.

I’m very happy I made the choice.

As it happens, there are several examples in today's shipping video, also.

My guitar is in today's shipping video. It is the X7 with candy stripe padouk and the red thread carbon fiber back and sides. I am sitting here waiting for UPS to deliver it!

That one really stood out to me - a lovely combination.

Hope UPS shows up for you soon!

There’s one in this week’s shipping video - an X30 with green weave back and sides. Doesn’t show too well under the lighting, IMO.

It’s at around 8:40, toward the end.

And another view of the green wire, both in photos and a very cool video...

Nice find. It would look better still if it wasn’t against a green background.

Agreed. Here is another similar video with a harp X7.It is neat looking material, reminds me of that color-changing paint.
