Having spent the past few years playing a range of Emerald guitars, guitarist and content creator Aaron Short is no stranger to our carbon fibre instruments.
In his latest video, Aaron takes a closer look at the completely redesigned third-generation Emerald X20, sharing his thoughts on the New Era model and reflecting on his experiences with the previous-generation X20 and other Emerald guitars over the years.
Launched in October 2026, the New Era X20 represents the latest evolution of our flagship carbon fibre acoustic guitar. Featuring a redesigned soundhole, slimmer neck profile and further refinements to tone, comfort and playability, the new X20 builds on everything that made its predecessor such a popular choice among players.
With years of firsthand experience playing Emerald guitars, Aaron offers an interesting perspective on how the X20 has evolved and what the latest generation brings to the table.
Watch Aaron’s video below to hear his thoughts on the New Era X20.
