I've had the Zephyr at home, on a stand in my living room, since the last post here. I've played it a few times, but I'm trying to keep my paws off it mostly, to keep it absolutely pristine and new.
I almost constantly have a window AC unit, and a dehumidifier, and a pedestal fan running all the time, so it's hard to hear the full qualities of this guitar amidst all that ambient noise.
Yesterday, at Joel's request, I took it over to the shop. Joel is about to start jigging up for his own Double-0 model, and he wanted to measure the Zephyr, and play it a bit, to help him visualize the Double-0 he wants to prototype.
Well, I was kind of stunned when I heard the sounds coming out of that guitar in Joel's hands. The sustain was epochal; and the overtones were crystalline and shimmery. In a live room like our workshop, this Zephyr projects a huge, full, resonant sound. I had no idea it sounded that good, after keeping it at home.
