Default GAS over an Emerald X20 Nylon left handed

I'm considering purchasing an X20 nylon as I have no many choices as a lefty. Thanks God the price tag is preventing me from doing anything stupid, I dont have that kind of money, but knowing myself, I'll searching for months until I don't find a monk in an isolated monastery in Tibet without any connection to the world who probably has one for sale, and go there and take it...

Does anybody have or have tried the X20 nylon? Thoughts?

You need to find a monk, yet you come to a porn site! There's no hope for you. Your hard earned cash is already working its way out of your wallet...unless you back away slowly out of here.

Seriously, I think a member here has an X20 Nylon who'll hopefully chime-in. EvanB has an X10 Nylon who will probably share some insight that will be helpful.

Good luck...you're going to need it to resist the temptation.

Villamarzia;

I owned one of the first X10Ns and one of the first X20-OSNs. I also own what may be the most recent X10-OSNs. Obviously, I am sold on Alistair's magic.

The X20-OSN is a lush sounding, beautiful, comfortable and easy to play guitar. I sold the 20 because I ended up preferring the size of the 10.

One of the really nice things about dealing with Emerald Guitars is that you can basically design your instrument. You have lots of choices: slot or peg-head tuners, color or woody, off-set or center sound hole, and so forth.

And there's this. If you special order your guitar then you will be the guru people will be searching out in order to steal your magic.

You can look for a lefty nylon strung X20 but that may well be a long and fruitless search. Better to start saving, dreaming, and talking with Alistair about what you want.

Then, one day you will be sitting on the hill, looking over the world, and in the distance you will see the dust rising from behind the UPS pony express, delivering your magic wand.

Hopefully, you will be as good as the wand. As Socrates once noted, "many are the wand bearers, few are the mystics." Emerald makes a great wand, it is up to you to provide the mystery.

That made my morning, Evan. Great quote!

Captain;

Blame Socrates, a guru of stellar proportions.
