A new chapter for Emerald.
Discover the Emerald Reset, the third-generation X20 family and Noir by Emerald Guitars.
Making room for what comes next.
In early 2025, we began a journey to shape the next chapter of Emerald – taking a fresh look at our designs, how we build and what we could make possible for players. Building on more than 25 years of innovation, the Emerald Reset creates space to develop new ideas while carrying our heritage forward. The third-generation X20 family and Noir by Emerald Guitars are the first results of that journey.
The first chapter of the Reset.
Our most popular guitar enters its third generation with a redesigned soundhole, refined neck
profile and updated styling. Available in standard, short-scale, 12-string and nylon-string versions,
the new X20 family builds on the comfort, character and carbon fibre construction that have made
it an Emerald favourite.
X20
Our signature dreadnought, reimagined for a new generation.
X20 Short-Scale
The full X20 experience with a more compact playing feel.
X20 12-String
The unmistakable richness and shimmer of a 12 string.
X20 Nylon
Classical warmth with modern Emerald playability.
First 100 Custom Orders
Marking the beginning of a new era for Emerald, the first 100 custom orders for the third-generation X20 will include a special commemorative certificate, individually numbered and signed by founder Alistair Hay, alongside a matching internal plaque, permanently numbered and personally hand-signed. We have also included some commemorative picks to mark the milestone.Â
