Justin Johnson Reviews The Solace

Here at Emerald Guitars, we were delighted when Justin Johnson recently decided to feature our Solace guitar on his Youtube Channel. 

Designed in 2020 when the world was in lockdown, the Solace is the first Emerald lap steel guitar. It was a welcome distraction and inspiration during a difficult time, and so it was named Solace.

 Featuring a hollow body and neck chamber that runs the entire length of the body, the iconic Weissenborn-style shape stays true to its roots, with infusions of Emerald Guitar’s own unique design ideas.

Played with a tonebar and featuring raised action, this versatile instrument is equally at home with the sweetest Hawaiian licks as it is with overdriven rock and southern blues.

With his tasteful playing and innovative approach to the guitar, Justin Johnson has been catapulted to the forefront of the online guitar playing revolution.

 Beginning with his viral three-string shovel guitar video, Justin’s Youtube channel has since amassed over 1.2 million subscribers. Justin’s comprehensive, practical and often humorous approach to reviewing content results in a unique and enjoyable viewing experience.

His bluesy style meets its perfect match with the Emerald Guitars Solace.

Check out Justin’s Solace review, and find out why Justin believes that Emerald Guitars is ‘taking carbon fiber guitar construction and design to the next level.’
