Took a little longer than planned but was well worth the wait. Won't embarrass myself by posting clips of me transitioning to no lines (sort of). Joe and crew are about the nicest group of folks. They are rightfully slammed these days, but Joe was always great to talk to.

Man, it's been a while since I've posted photos! Think I fixed it. Gwangi, your koa Legacy is awesome. Still digging it?
Okay I have a question, the bass has 1 knob, but the specs say 3 band eq, so there are no knobs for volume, pan between pickups?
Absolutely spectacular. I would also very much like to see the control system on/in the back/electronics compartment.
Absolutely gorgeous! This is where I'd usually say, "Play the frets off her in health!", but given the circumstances I'll just say, "Enjoy her in health!"
Here's a picture of the controls on the back. Sort of a set-and-forget approach. Recording tends to be interspersed with shows and I like to keep my tone consistent between songs and shows. I don't tweak often on the fly. Makes things very convenient and I love the look. The tone plate is a wood layer between the top wood and body. I was looking for a more mid-heavy tone than my Sonus Special. Tough to beat bubinga, but thought I would try by adding a wenge layer. I've definitely gotten the tone I was looking for, but between the Bart electronics and humbuckers, I'm not sure I can attribute it to the wenge. Regardless, sounds amazing. Putting a tone plate in the ramp... that's just cool (second pic). Intonation is definitely dodgy above the 26th fret, especially when converting from my training wheels (lined fretboard)! Not sure I'll be up there too often. Thanks for the comments, guys. This thing has exceeded all expectations. Can't recommend Zon enough! They done me right.
