We’re excited to announce the latest addition to the Emerald Black Opus Series — the Limited Edition Black Opus Amicus. Following the success of the Black Opus X7 and X20 models, the Amicus now joins the lineup with a refined, stripped-back aesthetic and the same accessible ethos that defines the series.

A Compact 12-String, Reimagined
The Amicus is one of Emerald’s most distinctive instruments — a compact 12-string with a shimmering, articulate voice. The new Black Opus edition brings that sound into a more minimal, performance-focused package designed for players who value tone and reliability above cosmetic extras.
Built with full carbon fibre construction and hand-crafted in Donegal, Ireland, the Black Opus Amicus offers the same tone, performance, and playability that define the Emerald range.
Key Features
- Full carbon fibre construction
- Crystal Ice satin finish with exposed black carbon weave
- LR Baggs Element Bronze pickup
- Full PLEK setup for precise playability
- Emerald 14:1 tuners
- Hand-built by the same team behind every Emerald
This model strips away decorative upgrades and builder options, delivering pure performance and quality for less.
