Kramster, is your friend a sketch artist for the police?
 I am calling for calm and patience here. Let's not upset Evan, lest he decide to not show us this new one-of-a-kind. It doesn't matter to me whether it is nylon or steel string... let's just hope it doesn't turn out to be a banjo!  Evan waited quite a while for this - we can be patient while he finds someone who can lend him a 12 year old to get some photos posted. Evan, I hope you are playing this new guitar, enjoying the heck out of it, and laughing at us.

Boy! You guys are merciless. It's true, I am not all that pleased with technology. It hates me and thwarts me at every step--ah, to be 12 years old, in the new world.
Alas, I am stuck in an older world. I still like to touch, feel, hear, and see my world, and so I am stuck with a bunch of friends. Just today Joe R got to play my new alleged electric sting guitar. He was blown away--this guitar is hot stuff. Of course Joe is a bit biased--he just ordered a Baylor. Anyway, I am basking in my ignorance, playing the scat out my new guitar. Wish you were here. PS About those photos: I'm still holding out hope that SEAN has some.

 You have no doubt heard the phrase: "He who laughs last laughs best." That is actually a mis-quote from the actual phrase: "He who laughs at others who have not seen the new guitar, while playing the guitar, laughs best."Enjoy!

Mr.K;
Your artist friend is quite the looker. As you know, I am a secret admirer of your artist friend and not too terribly surprised at how close he came to catching the royal ebony.

Wow Evan, that guitar looks really nice! Now that you have it, I’m sure it was worth the wait. Great things take time. I’m looking forward to your future commentary as you get more familiar with all that it has to offer, including how it compares to your beauty X10N. Have fun!

Yesterday the nylon electric had its first public play. It took a while to get started because everyone wanted to give the guitar a try. And then we played (banjo, mandolin, two other guitars).
The Sunday afternoon music in the village park is acoustic and I started out playing acoustic--for a small guitar this instrument has a remarkable projection. It's not nearly as pronounced as my X10 or my ex X20, but it pushes enough air to be heard in the mix. And then I introduced a Roland Mobile Cube into the play. The trick was to dial in the volume to match the other instruments and, at times, keep up with the banjo. Everything went well. The guitar is remarkably well balanced and the pickup is a marvel. Alistair suggested the Barbera and I think it's the finest pickup I've ever used. It captures each string and is incredibly sensitive. The sound is clean and pure--the guitar sounds like a good classical instrument, lush yet sharp. The short scale also turned out to be a good thing. The guitar is very easy to play and the strings bend voluptuously at my command. I played nice on Sunday and the guitar fit right in with an acoustic group. However, the guitar can also be amped up for some nasty blues and hard rock. I think that nylon strung guitars tend to be overlooked as blues and rock instruments, but when some volume and distortion are added the nylon puts out a unique and powerful signal (some of that can be heard on the Google site blythinart.com CD). This is a great guitar. That's not just my opinion. Everyone who has seen and played this guitar views it as a superior instrument. My wife asks me "what's next?" I'm thinking that an X10, thin-bodied, electric, nylon string guitar would be neat. But that's an idle thought at the moment. This Emerald electric guitar has my full attention.
