It's taken me two years but I finally got my Zon. It's a Sonus 4 string with a california walnut top and some other kind of walnut back with a layer of maple in the middle. The pickup is a Villex with a passive mid and treble control on it. Originally I didnt' want the treble on there but it was too bright without it so I had Joe mount it inside the cavity.
tonally it's a perfect balance between warmth and punch. With the mid all the way up it gets nice and growly. I usually run it about half way which gives it a really nice, smooth response. Center frequency for the mid is about 800hz.
the zon neck in my opinion is the best available. The shape is really comfortable to play, string tension is just perfect.
I'll try to get a better picture but here it is.

When I find A new day gig we'll see where I land for gear.
I can't put down my Sonus RT5
