Always fun to see how guitar makers are pushing the limit on their guitar designs!
Enjoy :)
Keep up the great work Darrell. Long time viewer.. and videos are always great and informative. Would be great and nice to post the link to the company in the description so it's easier for us to check out. Thanks
All the tones I dream of contains a middle single coil lol. Cool guitar though.
I’ve had a Brian Moore I88.5 for 20+ years - two humbuckers, piezo and 5 pin midi out. People have been doing this a while
Darrell, you were instrumental (forgive the pun right) in me deciding to buy a Fender Squier Affinity SSS after 2 months of comparison videos. You're Affinity vs. Yamaha Pacifica I watched a dozen times and, finally got it.
So some scammers using your icons and saying how I've been randomly selected for some BS prize , "Hit me up for the digit's" they say, clearly posing as you and, trying to scam your viewers by thanking them for watching and commenting right.
So I'm going to report this one but, Beato and Rob Baker have done videos warning viewers not to interact with them.
They say "I've got a guitar for you, pm me " and they claim if you pay the shipping they'll send you a guitar.
Thought I'd mention it and, now I'm going to report them. I don't know if it'll do much good but, I've got the means so I'm responsible!
I bought that Affinity back in September of 2020 and, ignorant as I was having always bought used I didn't realize it would need a setup. Still does so I don't even know how good a guitar it really is 😂
I'll let ya know when I get it setup properly. I managed to set the intonation myself but, the action is too high and the strings have all different tensions, no continuity across them so it's a drag but, it felt decent sort of until I intonated it.
The shop I got it from will set it up, but I still have to arrange it. Long story.
Anyway, thanks. I still watch and, I'm off to report this guy right now. 🎸🎶✌️
"If you tune the D string while switching to the neck pickup and pluck the E string at the same time, this guitar can take a screenshot!"
Message me right away I have something for you..
Be careful though; if you have the volume up too high when you do it, you return the guitar to its factory settings.
Don't do that it resets all the presets !
That's hysterical 😂 I'm pretty sure that guitar was designed for Batman!
Alas, I spent $480.00 for my Fender Squier Affinity SSS and a Fender LT25 modeling amp, with a cord, gigbag, capo, strings, and picks and that was a major purchase for me 😂
Didn't even come with Allen wrenches! 😂.
First world problems! The guitar and amp are fine, it needs a setup and, then it'll be fine I should say. 🤞
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The Parker Fly-swatter!
Talk about kicking some old nostalgic guitar riffs. Wowl! That sounded great.
I want an Emerald guitar so bad. Such a beautiful piece.
Glad you finally got an Emerald in your hands. The Virtuo is amazing. I've got an X30 and loved it enough to order an X7.
Thank you :)
Amazing guitar Darrell. Beautiful and flawless construction.
Happy to see Emerald featured on your eminent channel!
Impressive. This is so far the most beautiful guitar I have ever seen!!!
Great Video Darrell.
Emerald makes some wild designs.
Dust in the Wind was outstanding. Love all the tones.
Awesome demo of an amazingly versatile guitar. It looks and sounds fantastic!
That thing is nuts.
Love the look - and the weight - and I agree about the tones - nearly infinite. I have an Ovation Tangent, and really enjoy "different" sound hole designs that actually work, as this one does. Can't afford it, but it's gorgeous!
I love my Virtuo and Emerald Guitars in general. Great guys over there.
I have owned an X30 waiting for an X10 Slim. Great guitars. Good review.
I love the overall look.
It sounds fantastic! Thank you Darrell.
Check out the scam Darrell
Hi Darrell, great review of a very different but extremely versatile, well constructed guitar. Showcases future possibilities in design & build concepts. Cheers 🎸✌️
Thanks Rodger!
Very nice looking Guitar!
Luv the sound hole, very versatile but a little on the brassy sounding, harsh and loud. Hahaha, the loudness not an issue, loud and brassy harsh, not! But I imagine Instrument wasn't designed with being a conventional acoustic guitar, well done and thanks for the presentation!
one of the coolest guitar i have seen in years
definitely I'd love to buy one of these
Its sooo... cool. Amazing tones
A truly beautiful instrument!
Love it.... saving for one from today!
It actually sounded great acoustically through your lapel Mic and it sounded good overdrive too.
Their detail to the selection of wood and the nitro lacquer finish makes all the difference in its tones. 😜
I have to admit you chose the best guitar pickings songs ever recorded to cover.
All in one guitar awesome 🎸🤘🤘
Love the choice of songs
Four years ago I ordered a highly customized guitar from Emerald. It cost me over $6600.00, but it was worth every penny and more. It is by far the nicest guitar I've ever encountered in over 55 years of playing. Also, Emerald is a great company to deal with.
I love Emerald so much. I have a custom made by Alister about 10 years now.
Couldn't ever go back to a normal guitar.
great vid, cheers
Thanks Chris
This is a great company. Out of my reach for sure. Their guitars are awesome and in the right hands are a sound extravaganza.
Thank you Toney :)
WOW the lighting and video clarity in the studio look amazing. did you change some equipment or am I just sleepy while watching ;) Great review thanks.
Very cool guitar. I want one!
Beautiful guitar. 😍
Darrel what do you think of stagg guitars. I bought a cheap strat from them as a modding platform. Not very well known, but perhaps a really solid starter guitar
Beautiful guitar
Hi Darrell, Thank you for your objective reviews. Have you ever tried Boss Acoustic Singer amp? I enjoy mine very much and wondered what your thoughts are on it. I play my Washburn Acoustic- Electric and my 1984 Epiphone Emperor through it and of course sing with it, too. Jim
It sure looks cool!
Very cool!
First ultra modern guitar I’ve ever considered, it will be funny in 60 years that we will have forums on the kind of carbon fiber weave used, how it’s not made like they used to in 2024 etc… !!😊
This is my new dream guitar!
I'm visiting the factory in a few weeks. Stoked!
I love versatile guitars, this one is quite impressive!
Brilliant guitar.
Would love to have one of these
Looks like the veneer for that one is cut from the same as mine. Love the guitar.
Love the carbon
Very cool guitar. I like the whole non traditional material approach, by diversification of materials used we make less if an impact on the environment. I could see myself looking at one of those, but not in the current price range.
The unplugged acoustic sounds really nice. However, except the piezo, the other tones sound a bit muddy with no clarity or high end to me. Hearing some clean tones would have been nice.
If it won’t make a banana smoothie I’m not interested.
My Emerald did have a few quality control issues to be honest. However it's still the guitar I play most and I'm fortunate to have a few high end guitars to choose from.
Wow 😯😯 This has to be one of the sexiest carbon fibre guitars I have ever seen 💜💙💜
I have a McPherson CF that I love, and have looked at the Emeralds many times. How is the fretboard width and string spacing?
Nut width is 1.75 in It feels great and plays easily. I have large hands and it feels like it should.
Darrell when you played Tears in Heaven with the piezo it almost sounded like it was phasing slightly. Very cool guitar.
Darrell after your vid on scammers using your site I am not sure that comment is you mate.
How were the fret edges and the fret work in general?
I would’ve liked to of seen locking tuners, but otherwise man it’s cool.
Stunning guitars. GO GREEN! (Ireland, not MSU, but Go MSU too)
Very Cool!😎
Darrell, would it kill you to pick up a Roland GR-33 or 55?
Some fresh breath... great video.... Unfortunately lots of scams are coming through your channel, got some yesterday.
😮👏👏👏 Glad to see you finally review these! 👍
👉Would love a clear explanation why (as custom guitar builders) the Emerald X10/20/30 can not possibly have the HyVibe system _as well as_ the Ghost Piezos, the Humbucker and the midi?
That's simple. If every single model had ALL the features available, then what's the point of having different features?!
The whole idea is to get ppl to buy one, learn & play the features, then realize they want more features, so they order another, then hopefully, another! That's called a "business."
Looks slick
I appreciate the efforts of remaking the wheel. There's a few of these carbon-fiber hybrid smart-guitars that seem to have popped up all at once. This is definitely an elite member of that bunch. I don't know how convincing the top is in person but on video that's an amazing wood imitation, I'm very impressed by that. I don't like it one bit, personally, but I'm impressed by how real it looks on film, anyway. Sticking with my old Teles for now. Dumb-guitars the way Leo intended.
I’m pretty sure it’s a real wood veneer. I think they have a variety of veneers to choose from.
@@JohnnyArtPavlou That makes sense if it's a veneer. I thought it was some kind of photo-finish or otherwise printed on the carbon fiber. So the impressive part I guess not as impressive.
@@stevefaure415 you’d rather a photo of wood than wood?
Real wood veneers. I’ve owned 2 acoustics. You hand pick the veneer for the build if you are not going for all carbon fiber. Otherwise, you just pick the color of the Carbon fiber. These have their place. They won’t sound like the big names, but they are insanely well crafted and indestructible. If you travel, in harsh environment - these are a high end solution. Most stable guitar you will find. Emerald is a great company to work with.
Squier Affinity SSS and a Fender LT25 modeling amp...$480 with gigbag, capo, strings, cord, picks, and strings. Major purchase for me so I already know what Darrell means by "kinda pricey" , he means it costs as much as an entire collection of guitars. I'm window shopping 🛒🎸🎶✌️
Amazing thing. How important is the amp choice?
"... yeeeeeeeeeeeeeees..." 🙂
Hi Darrell, I’ve been looking longingly at emerald guitars for quite a while now but one thing has always spoken up at the back of my brain questioning whether the unusual position of the sound hole would mean it could easily lend itself to feedback used in a performing situation, I.e. bleeding into the vocal mic? Could you offer any advice having played this one yourself please? Thanks very much for your time
I own an Emerald X10 and have never had a feedback issue in the slightest. I gig regularly in multiple venues with differnt PA set ups.
Heel access is unbelievable for an acoustic.
I would watch this only for the Acoustic play even though deep down insie I feel that Darrell has a little too much fun with metal. Closet Metal Head is my guess. Great content.
Cool guitar
Emerald Guitars are perfection. Their instruments can fit any genre. All I can say is Someday.
It could be a very long wait if you're left handed
I would like to see more performances with these guitars. The online stuff I’ve seen so far are mostly amateurs with only modest talent and the sound is flat and lacking any character. I’d like to hear what a pro could do with one.
Dude, PRS hollowbody piezo is all I need.
👍👍👍
Amazing, just like the miller carbonfibre guitar i played back in 1996. very innovative. graphtech ghost then and now best in market. Does it have gk out? Please let gk die. Give me 5pin or usb.
Now that sounds like my kinda guitar!
Oh, its got a pretty acoustic voice, too! Very much like a parlor guitar, including the Martins, which were quite popular with the folk guys in the 60s.
What a total package (I mean the guitar).
And with MIDI even so there is literally no instrument in the world this 6 string can't mimic. The piezo pickup seems quite nice, the unplugged acoustic is decent for a carbon fiber body... all they need is a mechanism to dampen the chamber a little and you could do some heavy rock on a loud stage.
nice review
Beautiful guitar bat bad saund
The ultimate guitar
I kind of want one
Nice, have to wonder how that would sound like with a slide, delta blues. Note tone at 6:35...
Actually Rain Song and composite acoustic where the Pioneers but Emerald clearly broke the mold
He is a demon on any guitar
I don't hear any of the 90 hum either! That's nice!
Message right away
I'm just learning guitar and like to play jazz. Can this guitar sound warm and smooth?
Pretty amazing guitar. Does GODIN have a model that is acoustic/electric with midi? Not carbon fiber of course for GODIN but just wondering if a comparison could be made?
Godin lgxsa or lgxt has piezo, midi (13 pin) with humbuckers. I dont recall if they can be split. Those are quite different from this, but they are still beasts!
I know the Godin Multiac Jazz is a heavy beast in comparison.
Unique looking guitar, sounds good, < 5lbs that's good.🎸
When I saw the thumbnail I knew it had to be Emerald
Shame you don’t have a MIDI synth to demo!
Seen a Facebook ad for spark mini and they're using your RUclips video you did on it to advertise it. I hope they're paying you!
can you do a tele shootout
Beautiful guitars but are priced out of my range! Sticker shock!
I want one so bad 🎼🎸🎶
One suggestion here when demoing any guitar...play the CLEAN tones, thats what a lot of people want to hear..any guitar can sound good distorted..
Can you switch between bridge and neck magnetic
darrell you dont want to scratch the surface!!! LOL
What’s the metal song at the end?
Hey Darrel. I'm here in Canada as well. Do you remember how much duty you paid for the guitar?
I miss the old beginning but cool vid.
