FEATURES & BENEFITS
Crystal Ice Satin Finish
The distinctive Crystal Ice satin finish over exposed black carbon fiber sets the Black Opus apart from the rest of the Emerald lineup. This satin-textured surface offers a unique, textured feel while preserving the clarity and detail of the carbon weave.
Offset Soundhole
Our unique soundhole design brings a whole new listening experience by projecting the sound more directly towards the player while still providing great forward projection to the audience
Plek'd to Perfection
Every guitar goes through the cutting edge Plek process which scans the frets of the guitar and machines them to perfection taking into account radius, relief,action height and string gauge. This process guarantees ultimate accuracy and playability
Neck Design
Our carbon fiber necks provide strength stability and accuracy. Featuring a double action truss rod for perfect adjustability and stainless steel frets giving ultra smooth feel and wear resistance
Ergonomic Body Design
Our Moulding technology provides us the freedom to create a wonderfully ergonomic body design featuring the extended neck access, asymmetric side design, rib and forearm bevels which all combined give unprecedented comfort to the player
Tuners
Designed specifically for the Opus range, our Emerald Tuners offer smooth 14:1 gearing and rock-solid tuning stability. Built with simplicity and function in mind, they’re reliable and made to perform.
Carbon Fiber Bridge
We machine our unique bridges from a solid billet of carbon fibre creating a beautiful aesthetic design that transfers the string energy efficiently into the soundboard
Hi-Tech Carbon
Carbon fiber is now used in all the most high tech industries from Aerospace to Formula one Racing where strength and weight is paramount. In fact it was in Formula One Power Boat racing that we discovered that the properties of carbon fiber are also perfectly suited to guitar making creating a lightweight structure that holds up under the tension of the strings while resonating freely with the lightest touch.
Weather Resistant
If you have ever traveled with a guitar you will know just how much temperature and humidity changes can effect the structure, tuning stability and tone of a guitar. This is where carbon fibre construction really excells. Now you can take your guitar from a cold car to a warm stage without worrying that your going to go out of tune after the first strum.
Unique Manufacturing Process
Intricacy is our excellence. Our signature one-piece moulding process delivers a guitar that is both incredibly strong and stable, resulting in fewer trips to your local luthier. The entire neck and body of Emerald Guitars are moulded together resulting in no joints becoming weak or failing over time whilst delivering impeccable resonance and sustain.

X7 - The nicest travel guitar
The nicest travel guitar anyone could ever want. Sounds great acoustically but plugged in it comes alive. It has its own voice compared to my X20 but sits in a mix really cool. Very comfortable 12 fret to the body but access up to 20. I can play all my songs on it. Super light and it just looks badass.
