Wow, that's a great looking group. I'd love to hear or see a sound comparison video or clip.

Thanks. I suggested to Dave at Rainsong that they rename the Tobacco Burst as Copper Burst. In person under natural light, it's less orangey and more copper IMO, especially the darker outer aspects...

Phil PS: after my X20 fan-fret gets here (supposed to be Tuesday but, well, you know...) I'll try to get a photo of mine, 2 amber Emeralds (both fan frets) and the two bursted Rainsongs.

That looks like it would be tough to choose what to play, perfect!

It seemed like you were buying a new Emerald pretty much every month there for a while. Just out of curiosity, how many Emeralds did you buy and sell before you decided to go all-Rainsong?

That’s a great lineup! I would love to try the Vintage dread at some point.

RP, since you've owned both Emerald and Rainsong, any quick thoughts on why you prefer Rainsong? Was it primarily ergonomic, or tonal, or something else?
Living 10 miles from the Rainsong factory in Woodinville, it is possible to actually find a few in the area to try. Not so with Emerald!
