Default PSA 25% off in stock Emerald guitars

Just got an email that all stock units are 25% off.

Seems the website either can't handle the traffic or is under maintenance.

I'm sure it'll be back up straightaway.

Great opportunity if'n you're fence-sittin'!

It’s a great shame my guitar fund is currently bone dry - otherwise I’d be seriously considering adding a Kestrel to the collection.

There are some great deals in this sale, including many instruments under or around the $2k mark.

The site is back up (right now, anyway) - but this is obviously attracting a lot of attention.

Got the email as well. Good stuff. Grabbed a plain ol' no-pickup X7, no veneer, super simple just like a travel parlor should be. Been watching their in-stock numbers grow and figured they'd be having more frequent sales as the Covid hobby boom comes to an end, but 25% off seemed particularly good. Might even grab something else.

And I received my shipping notice for my X20 this morning. Just took a look at what is in stock. Could have saved four figures if I had waited. Less money for Vegas.

Four figures? That must be a pretty loaded X20

Mine arrived a week ago. I don’t feel bad about it, as I’ve never seen a fan-fret 6-string as a stock instrument.

Not too loaded David. Veneer, HyVibe, and inlay dots. The 20% restocking fee may kill any thought of exchanging before shipping.

Those options add up pretty quickly - I hadn’t realized that you could push an X20 quite that high. Be thankful you didn’t go for a slotted headstock as well.

I’m sure you’ll be very happy with it - and it is, after all, your design.

Speaking of getting off the fence... I ordered a black X7 with LR Baggs pickup. Nice deal.

Congratulations!

Because I have nothing better to do, I totaled up the number of stock guitars earlier in the day, and just did it again. By my calculations, they’ve sold at least 33 instruments today - and the sale runs until the 23rd.

Not sure what the starting count was - but according to Alistair Hay’s FB update this morning, they’ve actually sold over 100 so far.

What an awesome sale! I wish I had waited a month. I'd love to grab another Emerald especially with this sort of discount but my credit card is still crying over the X20 I recently purchased so no dice sadly.

I'm not surprised considering the big discount!!

It appears they are adding some new inventory day by day. Yesterday, the totals of one model started at 33, then later it had dipped to 29. But today it's back up to 31 with the new additions.
