Nice TJ!
Is that the 5 series? The 5 has the rough finish, this is the 7i that has gloss finish and a hard case instead of the gigbag. |

Anyway, looks like a nice bit of gear. Maybe if using carbon catches on, it'll become cheaper. When carbon composite fishing rods first came out they were megabucks but now most are made that way. Here's hoping... |

| It looks beautiful. I see electronics but no controls. Is it just a direct out?
It looks like it should really have an archtop option. |

Location: Chehalis, Washington | As far as I know Emerald is no longer in business. Maybe someone over there knows better though.
Electronics controls would make it even better. I like direct outs on wood bodies, but with the carbon setup there's no real need to preserve a nice piece of wood IMO. |
