Fair enough, but you also haven't heard my x20... I think YOU would be tempted...

And that's why I would love to compare Alistair's recordings of all of them.

Evan - sorry I guess I got too excited and did not pickup on it not being the correct model.

O Wow! Wait for it............it's almost here. It's a real stogy, smoking hot.

[Alistair Hay]

Evan we will have to make them wait for another day. My internet connection is very slow tonight and its causing problems with me uploading pics. Tomorrow is a new day

Alistair;

Patience is a virtue. A slow internet fosters patience. It's all good. In the meantime, you all can hardly believe what Alistair has come up with in the new x10 build. It's so cool and......wait wait...........

[SteelPastor]

Oh, come on! You're killing me, Smalls!

What a visual beauty...congratulations Evan!

Can't wait to hear about the changes from the original X10 (besides the offset soundhole and open headstock....I dun figgered those two out all by my lonesome).

[Purfle Haze]

I like the stair-stepping for the tuners on the headstock. Beautiful! Nice machines, too.

[Rapt_up]

Stunning... Its enough to make a grown man weep... And that's not hearing it....

That is so gorgeous in every detail that it may be time I switched to nylon. Really.

[Jimmy Koh]

Very very nice, truly a hand-made masterpiece from Emerald. Amazing red carbon weave too. Congrats to the owner and maker for this unique creation piece of artwork!

Just wondering - how many layers of CF were used to create that thickness of the headstock?
