Default Anyone in the Minneapolis area with an Emerald X20?

Is there anyone in the Minneapolis area with an Emerald X20 who would let me try it?

I think I want to buy one but I’d really like to try one before buying.
All I’d need is a few minutes and I’ll bring beer.

Thanks in advance, Ned

I think if you fold a map just right, you can easily see that AZ is in the greater Minneapolis area.

Ancient art of foldage perfect... might make Ireland close for faster deliveries....Genius I do say!

Boy! Is it hard to get a straight answer here or what?

Don't listen to them Ned. Hang in and you'll find someone in the area with the guitar you want to play. I'd pursue Gr's question, any Emerald will give you pretty good idea of playability, build quality, and sound capability. Depending on what options you have you might find that an X 7 or 10 would satisfy your needs.

I'm an hour south of Sioux Falls, SD, so not super close to the cities, but not too far away. I don't get up to the cities all that often, but let me know if you're down this way.

I live near twin cities and have Emerald Amicus, Rainsong APLE and Mcpherson Sable you can play but no X20 I'm afraid.

Maybe not but I’d prefer it. An x-7 might do the trick in a pinch

I’m a bit facinated with the Amicus, I’ve got an Veillette Avante Gryphon and if I’d known about the Amicus before I bought it, I might have gone with that instead.
