Default An Emerald X20 or X30 near Detroit? Anybody?

Does anybody have a Emerald X20 or X30 around Detroit that you would let me come and play?

Revj;

I see that there have been no quick responses to your question. You may have to revise your search parameters. I know that some people on this forum have travelled a hundred or so miles to visit someone with a desired guitar. They have viewed the excursion as a worthy field trip with the added benefit of meeting one of the many players on this forum.

It would be nice if you could email Emerald and have the company ask nearby owners if they would be willing to share their guitars for an hour or so--and if so, the company could forward the request.
On the other hand, this forum can used for the same function. Good luck in your search.

I agree with EvanB's advice. I have had Emerald Guitars reach out to me regarding a request for someone "near" me to check out a specific model. A couple of individuals traveled a bit to see the instrument(s) so it is possible by reaching out to Emerald as well as posting here.
Good luck!

Long shot...

I have an X20-12 in Chicago.

Well, do it on work time. Got to be some legitimate reason to visit Phoenix and the Kramster.
