Jamie Dupuis Synergy X20 harp guitar
Jamie Dupuis is an award-winning composer and occasional singer and songwriter, best known for his complex fingerstyle technique, energetic performances and the use of percussive effects on the guitar. Jamie was looking for a harp guitar that he would not be afraid of travelling with and that’s when he began looking into harp guitars made by Emerald Guitars and decided to contact us.
His query came around the same time that we were about to unveil the Synergy X20 and so, following detailed consultation, it was decided that we would build him a full size harp guitar. Jamie’s Synergy X20 features three different pickup systems to suit Jamie’s recording and performance needs – A Sixtus Longbar pickup under the sub bass strings, an LR Baggs M1 under the guitar strings and an iMix pickup system featuring two Element undersaddle piezos, one for each neck.

Synergy X20 Black (Multi-Pu) CS (Jamie Dupuis)
"My first thought about the Synergy x20 is the tone, Very nice and warm, you don't even have to play aggressive or loud, it just sings. I love the bass projection, it cuts through really nicely too! Also I really appreciate the pickup configuration. It gives me the option to have full control over my sound. Especially live and in studio."
