Simonster.... Hmmm thats kind of got a ring to it!

I was referring to the picture, where the guitars look like they have been painted with Vantablack because of the lighting, or lack thereof haha, but now that I've thought about it, it might look pretty cool!!... well, for a couple hours anyway until my arm polishes the matte finish.

And how should we pronounce it? Simon-ster? Si-Monster? I think I like the latter better. Si-Monster, guitar building beast!

Hummmm...what about 12 string x30....

[Simon@Emerald]

Oh, that sounds like a good signiture for me!

So the vibe im getting is that you guys want a satin finish x7, with 12 unison stings and a vantablack back and sides with a black limba top? Think that would keep most of you happy.

What i can say, no one has been correct in their guesses as yet

How about an X30 Synergy? Or an X7 octave "mandolin" (unison strung or even a "bouzouki" with two octave bass courses)?

I think they are X15s and X40s crusted with abalone all the way around, with carbon fiber strings that will last 12 lifetimes.

I immediately had done the same thing to see if I could filter it enough to see details. But nope.

But you guys did a good job. Literally could see nothing other than than they were at least 6 string (assuming 3 tuner knobs equates to 6 strings)

I was going to guess a woody series with the wood from the tree species in the background, but I have no idea what the species is from the pics. If it had leaves, that would help lol

I would like to see the tree photo shopped with lots of woodies hanging like fruit from the branches, or woodies like leaves on the tree.

Clearly Simon isn't going to spill the beans any time soon so let's do what we Americans do best when we don't know something - take a wild guess. I'll be first and posit that that these are Emeralds with Diar ghaelach aka Sessile oak (Quercus petraea) veneer...
