That was a great choice on the Koa veneer you selected, Alex. Under the finish it totally changed. Hope it sounds as good as it looks.

That's amazing! Too bad it's not two years ago, my wife and I just moved from St. Louis. Maybe we can jam next time I'm back there.

That X30 had me seriously wringing my hands -- that's one of very few I'd really have considered getting instead of my padauk model. Incredible piece of wood.

Suh-weet! And may all the new Emerald owners have their guitars fly across the pond in a speedy manner.

Alex - Did you get your X-20 today? I received my X-30 Padauk today and it’s stunning. Best looking, best sounding and biggest sounding guitar I’ve owned to date! While I like the X-20 I bought used a month or so ago, I love this X-30 so much more. Thanks again for your demo/review which convinced me to order the X-30. Like you, I plan to demo/review/compare my four carbon fiber guitars soon. Happy playing and I hope you have a Happy (albeit different) Thanksgiving!

I did! I'm really smitten with it. I love my X30 but the only thing about it is its bulk, I found myself not playing it very often just bc of its size, so this X20 fits the bill. I'm really impressed with its sound!
