X30 In-Depth Guide with John Connearn

Join the amazing John Connearn for an in-depth look at the Emerald X30 — our jumbo-sized carbon fiber acoustic and one of the biggest, most powerful voices in the Emerald range.

Inspired by classic jumbo acoustics but reimagined with the modern player in mind, the X30 delivers a rich, full-bodied sound with impressive depth and projection. Its full carbon fiber construction also provides the stability, reliability and consistency players need at home, on the road, in the studio or on stage.

In this video, John takes us through the X30’s design, sound and playability, demonstrating how its larger body responds across different playing styles. From powerful strumming and open chords to more delicate passages, the X30 offers a broad and dynamic acoustic voice.

Despite its commanding sound, the X30 remains remarkably comfortable to play. Its ergonomic body contours, heel-less neck design and easy access across the fretboard make it an ideal choice for players who want the power of a jumbo acoustic without sacrificing comfort or playability.

A huge thank you to John Connearn for putting this video together for us. John is a UK-based guitarist known for his own music, guitar content and demos with brands including Neural DSP and Andertons.
