Re: Anyone familiar with "Emerald" Guitars???

I went to their website. Cool stuff for sure but they are proud of it. It looks like it would be well worth it though. Very high quality stuff from my view. Uh oh a guitar maker with principles and pride in their product.. how long can they last ? 25-ish years and counting, apparently. Interestingl...

Re: Michael Schenker Flying V "Clone"

The point on the headstock is more Epiphone than Gibson...but for around $300 shipped from the CCP there will be no major gripes here. Cheaper plastic nut is painted over on both sides, so may just leave in for now. I'd be worried about chipping the paint getting it out. Not sure what upgrades will...

Re: Anyone familiar with "Emerald" Guitars???

They sure look interesting! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZraM7pp7xpI I find it a little funny that this review sort of acts like what this guitar offers is something brand new...I literally bought a Godin XTSA a few days ago that does everything this guitar does and it came out almost 20 years a...

Thank you! Really enjoying this one, pretty crazy how loud and resonant it is unplugged. The piezo is really to die for, I have never heard a better sounding piezo on a guitar.

Nice! I've actually seen these Godins for even less and overlooked them. LOL. Perhaps I need to keep better track of what Godins are high end so when I see good deals on them I don't pass them up. There are basically two different eras for these models, the older ones like this one tend to sell for...
