I'm a cheap *******, don't mind dings and scratches as long as functionality is unaffected, so I look to buy used first, when I can. Guitar Center's website is on an occasional rotation, along with eBay and Music Go Round. For instance, Music Go Round has a Rainsong Dreadnought for under $1300. I nearly grabbed it at $1600, and now it's cheaper than that!!??!? But I had already grabbed a CA GXi...and now, with the nylon X20 in hand and the X10 inbound, I think I might not need my CAs anymore, so definitely don't need a Rainsong. https://www.musicgoround.com/product...coustic-guitar

Thanks. Looks like someone picked it up in the interim. No regrets

Here's another X10 with the humbucker, and I *think* the knobs mean it has the midi output again.
Same price as the one I grabbed, but if it was the same price, I saw no reason not to grab the green quilted maple one...this one is plain, but as was said earlier, some people like the basic black better: https://www.guitarcenter.com/Used/In...tric-Guitar.gc

Guitar Center currently shows 4 Emeralds.
And I only looked because of this thread, I don't generally troll GC's used stuff on a regular basis. One Left handed X-20 for $2200. Two X-10s at 2200 and 2400 An X-20 at 3000 The Left handed X-20 is a pretty fair price. You are basically getting a woody veneer for a fiber weave price. But, you need to a) like that super dark mahogany, and b) play left handed. Honestly, I only know it is a veneer because it says "mahogany swirl", looks like a black hole in the pic. The others are not great or outstanding prices. With sales tax, might even be slightly cheaper to buy from Emerald. (especially on that $2400 X-10)

Here it is!
Sounds really nice, plays really easily.
I still like the depth and complexity of the Composite Acoustics GXi, but this one sounds good enough that I think I can go with keeping only the emerald Emerald. I need the features. Also, you know how when someone is selling a guitar, they say they kept the guitar in their smoke-free studio? Yeah, not so much that with this one. Any suggestions on getting rid of the smoke smell more quickly? Last edited by brainfertilizer; 10-26-2023 at 10:03 PM. |

NOT the vibrant weave. Still...nice to have an emerald Emerald.

febreeze in the case and 24 hours of airing out seem to have just about solved the cigarette smell.

A thorough wipe down with dish soap and water solution or naphtha, and airing out works most of the time. Sometimes keeping an open container of baking soda in the case works too. The real way to deodorize is to put the open case inside your vehicle with an ozone generator (usually rented) overnight. Don't breathe ozone or have it anywhere near occupied spaces or pets.
It is good to have an emerald green Emerald. I have both a six-string and custom 12-string X20's in green. Red and amber are nice too, but green is special. I normally like natural wood veneer, but the grenen tinto to that quilted maple is suh-weet. |
