How I Convinced Gretsch To Craft My Dream Guitar

[cameronstrife]

I've owned an Emerald T20, X20, and X30. They are all fantastic instruments with their own character. My next purchase will be an X10. Thanks for making this video. The more people that find out about Emerald Guitars, the better!

[DanielWalters]

If I hadn't watched Phil before I'd have thought this was a commercial. Wild to see him absolutely fanboy over a product. Happy for him. Hope to find a guitar that makes me feel that way.

Now we can start the tonecarbon debate! 😂

In all seriousness, this looks like a great guitar. Once again, you did a great review.

A few years back, I bought two x20s—one for my son and one for me. They both arrived from Ireland perfectly in tune and are still ready to play every time it is picked up.Both electronically and acoustically, they perform and sound amazing. What awesome guitars these are!

[Lomoholga]

Perfect for Northern Canada— no worries about low humidity cracking the wood!

[garywhitt]

I own the X30. It makes me glad every single time I pick it up. It has the biggest sound I’ve ever heard in a guitar. Mighty basses, firm mids and muted trebles. Sounds like you hope it will. The company has support second to none.

For newcomers to Know Your Gear, Phil almost never glows this much over a guitar. When I saw him holding back a smile I knew this guitar has to be legit.

[VIRAEMIAPHXAZ]

I just went to a guitar center to kill time and had no intention of buying anything. I found a used x20 on the wall and picked it up and noticed it had the HyVibe electronics system on it. I’ve never seen or even heard of it. This system. It played absolutely amazing. Quality is outstanding, not a single flaw. The HyVibe system blew me away. I walked out of the acoustic room and up to the GC employee and was like dude I’ve never done this before but I have to buy this. He went on to try to convince me he knew something about carbon fiber guitars talking about Rainsong and I was like yeah yeah I get it. He came back from grabbing me the case and his face looked stunned and he was like whoa I’ve never heard anything like this before, now I see what you mean. Well I walked out with it and I have no solid plan on how I’m paying it off but I don’t even care.

The manufacturer must be so happy right now.

[screpio]

Awesome seeing Phil with an Emerald.
I have 2 & love them both.
My CSP topped X20 with it's HyVibe is the most comfortable, tuning stable acoustic guitar I've ever held.
& my Virtuo has so many tone combos, my PRS 24-08 blushes & hides in it's gearbag.

I own one (X20), and a McPherson Sable. I take the Emerald to the tropics and pretty much everywhere I travel, hot, cold, no problem. Don’t need to get anything fancy as their standard is beautiful and it plays great. Super sturdy case too for when I take it on a jet. Yes, wow!
My home is not great for wood acoustics, although I own many, and I just leave my carbon fiber out on the couch so it’s right there to grab. All my wood guitars reside in their cases along with some humid pacs. Not trying to brag, but the carbon fiber Emerald is fn awesome, the Sable as well.
Doesn’t sound as good as the Martin or Guild but dudes, it is nice, no great, to have without the worry of what the wood guitars would go through in various climates. Piece of advice, get a pickup installed from the factory.
Cheers!

I played one of these a few months ago, it sounded WAY better than I thought it would.

[ajmee]

I own an X30 and love it! Awesome customer service too. One of my Ghost bridge saddles snapped in two, and they quickly sent a replacement across the pond.

[justcruisen]

OK just wow....I have been looking at getting a Ovation think that may have just changed! Just Wow! I grew up around Ovations from my brother well those and Taylor were his choice for acoustics outside of his dabbling with Takemine in the late 90's. Phil thanks for shining a little light on these guitars!

[MrStradia]

Phil, so glad you finally got one on the bench and doing a video on it! I own an X30 and an X7. Wonderful!

[BrennHill]

I own an older X20 and it's just amazing. These newer ones are even better.

[ZaaaZ]

From the first sentence you spoke I can hear you are completely in love with this guitar..lol

[elenbrandt]

Pretty damn impressive - especially the tone. Thank you, as always.

[haplo]

Bought my first Emerald over a year ago now and now have 3: Virtuo, X20, and X20 Baritone. Love these guitars. I'm sure being in the harsh environment of Arizona that this guitar will be perfect for you.

[riffdigger]

I tabbed out your beautiful guitar playing at 6:00 and 8:01 and clipped them as they are about 1 min each. Thanks, Phil. Melodic and precise. ❤
