This guitar is not mentioned on the Emerald website so I don't have any more details. I think it's really interesting and certainly well played.

There was a thread about these a while ago, with the "unveiling" video:

And here's a cool video:

I enquired about the archtop on Emerald Guitars FB page, and was told ' Look out for an announcement/more info in May'.

From the video I'm not that enamoured by it's tone. But in fairness hard to tell by the audio of any video. Sounds a bit brighter than I prefer and lacks the woodiness that a great sounding Archtop guitar is associated with.
Nice that it probably could double as a canoe paddle and probably wouldn't affect it.s playability at all.

I have researching these guitar model. For the X10 model you can get 3 progressive levels of amplified options. The first base level is string saddle pickups. Then the second level adds a Krivo humbucker at the neck. Passive assume. The third level is a midi control.
So an archtop guitar model with the Krivo humbucker would be extremely interesting!! BTW never heard of the Krivo pickups before, but trying to learn more about them.

It appears that this model has a humbucker. My guess thr Krivo thinline model.

I don't see any vol control on the guitar, unless I am missing it.

Krivo has a presence on Reverb. I sent them an email last night asking the same question.

I listened to some vids and like the nylon string versions I heard.Last edited by child as audience; 04-26-2019 at 07:59 PM.
