I’m in Albuquerque, probably could arrange something.
I have an Emerald X-20 and a Composite Acoustics X Standard.

I live in DC and if anyone wants to try an X-20 they're welcome to try mine. It's got a slotted headstock and I have no idea if or how that might affect tone.

Ted is an experienced dealer for most carbon fibre guitar makers. He is responsive to calls and ships anywhere. He has the largest sales and in-stock inventory.

Definte go-to dealer for carbon fiber guitars...

I originally posted looking for an Emerald Amicus to try. I purchased a used one from a forum member (8/29/22) and now I have one. If you are nearby NW Connecticut and you would like to try it please let me know.

I saw this post and thought I'd pass it along...

Is there anyone in MN with a Jumbo Emerald who would be willing to let my friend hold their instrument for a few minutes to see if it is comfortable for him?

Just bumping this up since it's been a few months. Anyone in the Philly metro area with an Emerald Balor bass, who would let me check it out? Thanks.

I live about halfway between Austin and Waco, TX. Any of mine are available for a meetup - there are GCs in each town, and Killeen.

OP here. I think this thread has the power to help answer the #1 question about carbon fiber guitars: Where can I try one out? I hope that members will continue to post wants and availability regarding carbon fiber guitars. I'd like to say that after this week, I'll have an Emerald X20-12, an Amicus and an X20 that I'd be happy to let somebody audition. I live west of Charlottesville, VA at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains...

Ooh, I'd love to very briefly try your X20, should you be so kind!
