X20 Baritone Select Series 2/17

The X20 with its offset soundhole design really helps accentuate the bass notes making it a perfect platform for lower tunings such as baritone. We have chosen a 27″ scale for the X20 Baritone which gives it a nice bottom end without creating too much tension in the treble strings.

The X20 is a guitar designed with the player in mind and not tradition. It features an ergonomic forearm bevel and a beveled cutaway to give even greater access to the fretboard.  Our unique asymmetrical back contours make the X20 sit more comfortably and securely on your knee.

The neck has a very comfortable shallow C profile with a 1 3/4″ nut and the heel is reduced in profile to give better access to the higher frets.

Tonally this guitar has a big voice, We developed a new laminate structure to give it a richer fuller sound and with the unique soundhole placement it gives, great projection to the player, while still giving your audience the fullness of your performance.

The X20 Baritone Woody is part of the new monthly edition of the Emerald Custom Shop Select Series, a collection of instruments hand-selected by Alistair Hay every month.
