The Emerald Amicus Black 15 is unlike anything else you'll find in the acoustic world. This compact, short-scale 12-string delivers the shimmering character and harmonic richness of a mandolin while retaining the familiar tuning and chord shapes of a standard guitar. Whether you're layering tracks in the studio, adding texture to an acoustic performance, or searching for fresh inspiration, the Amicus occupies a sonic space all its own. Built from Emerald's one-piece carbon fiber construction, it offers exceptional resonance, remarkable stability, and the freedom to play anywhere without worrying about changes in temperature or humidity. Designed for comfort as much as tone, the Amicus features Emerald's ergonomic body shape with an offset soundhole that projects sound toward both the player and the audience. Every instrument is Plek processed for outstanding playability, while the carbon fiber neck, stainless steel frets, and Graph Tech nut and saddle ensure long-term reliability with minimal maintenance. At just 3.5 pounds, it's incredibly lightweight without sacrificing volume or projection. The Black 15 configuration pairs Emerald's high-gloss carbon fiber finish with premium appointments including Gotoh 510 tuning machines and an LR Baggs Element pickup system, making it equally at home on stage or in the studio. If you're looking to expand your tonal palette with an instrument that's both innovative and incredibly practical, the Amicus delivers a playing experience unlike any traditional acoustic guitar.
