Jeremy Sheppard Interviews Alistair Hay: The Vision Behind Emerald Guitars

Carbon Fiber Innovation

Jeremy Sheppard sits down with Emerald’s Alistair Hay, to explore his journey in crafting innovative carbon fiber instruments.

For 27 years, Alistair has been breaking new ground in guitar making with Emerald Guitars, using his background in working with composite materials to carve a new path in the industry and reimagine aspects of the instrument for today’s player.

Jeremy ‘The Guitar Hunter’ Shephard is an enthusiastic guitar collector who uses his channel to help you find the best guitars for you as well as sharing some incredible stories behind instruments, those that make them and those that play them along the way.

Having recently moved to south Louisiana, Jeremy was in need of an instrument that could stand up to the humidity and heat, not to mention the hurricanes! Enter Jeremy’s new Emerald X30; like all of our instruments, features our one-piece carbon fiber construction making them incredibly reliable and stable, ensuring the best playability and tone, even in harsh environments.
