Thanks for the update, Ethan - long term impressions are useful too, beyond the honeymoon phase.
As they ramped up production numbers last year (or maybe due to personnel changes??) the set-ups seemed to suffer a bit. My X30 purchased from stock in December 2018 came with a very low set-up that buzzed, even with a very light touch. All prior Emeralds had excellent set-ups that needed zero tweaking. I shimmed the saddle up with some credit card material and adjusted the truss rod, and now all is good, so it was close initially. Alistair sent me a replacement saddle, as I am able to do my own set-up work. I can see how a loose sticker could annoy you, but it really should not interfere with any sound production that would be audible by human ears. [I cannot speak for the hearing - or musical tastes - of bats]. Maybe steam it a little to get it to let go entirely, then laminate and re-glue? Or cover it with clear packing tape to secure it down fully and to protect it? Wood guitars still have a place in the world, and I get that. For recording the wood tone might work better, at least for your ears. But the practical benefits of having a carbon fiber guitar accessible for ready playing cannot be denied. That got me into CF initially years ago. Winter time in Alaska meant 15% indoor RH and every wood guitar had to live in its case with two dampened sponge humidifiers, and they needed to be re-wet every week for every guitar. The Rainsong could stay out on a wall hanger or stand for a quick play session, and could go places where I might hesitate to take my best wooden guitars. Lastly I would suggest that you might have V3 of the X7 (the current version). If I understand things correctly, V1 is the old center sound hole from several years ago, V2 is the offset but forward-facing sound hole (which we have), and V3 is the newest offset and upward-sloped sound hole plus the bigger body size, closer to the X10 body. The current X7 design began production in spring 2018. Anyone feel free to correct me if this is wrong. |

V3 not V2!

Yes! Someone else explained this to me... does anyone know how to change the title of a thread? I do think it is inaccurate and misleading to keep the V2 up there |

You can change it being the one who started this thread

I believe that you can go into CP (control panel) on the left side of the blue bar and edit from there. If not, a moderator can help you. Only you as the thread originator or a moderator can make the change. Sorry to have nagged you.

I've always felt that Emerald stickers were not up to the quality of the guitars. Particularly with specially ordered and special series instruments the sticker should clearly and proudly reveal the maker, the date, the model, and the buyer. The signature on a piece of art is important.

Go to the original post, and select to edit it. When that window opens up, select the ‘Go Advanced’ button, and you should be able to edit the title.
I may have the terminology slightly amiss - this is from memory.

I find no options available to edit the title, but I'm just a "Registered User". The option "may" be there somewhere, but I couldn't find it.
In years past, I once directly asked the moderators to change a title for me (typo or something) and they graciously did so in a short time. I suspect that "Charter Members" may have other options available to them, such as title editing. Maybe a moderator will take a moment and chime in and clarify it's possible for a user to change or if it is something only in their domain. I'm also curious to know even though I don't introduce very many threads. |

Edit: As an example I have edited the title of my own reply.

Yes, I understand how to change a post title. That's not an issue. But changing the title of the entire thread is something I am yet not able to find out how to do. So I was wondering if someone had found a way to do it other than by moderator request, or maybe, an option for Charter Members. I should have been clearer in my last post. |

No idea why it's not working for you.

I'm not a charter member (that might be the issue) but have never edited the title of a thread that I've started. You might need a moderator's help. Click on the red triangle on the right side of a post, or send a PM to one of the mods.

But knowing that the title of the first post automatically becomes the thread title as well makes it easy to understand why changing the 1st post title changes the thread title as well. No one has made that clear from my readings since coming to the forum, even though it comes up from time to time, though I don't read most of the forum subsections--so thanks. Now I wish I had an idea for a new thread so I could make a mistake--and then change it! |

Edit: Oops, I somehow missed that you already figured it out. Now if someone can tell me how to remove my unnecessary post...
