This is a long shot, but I wanted to share this year-old post from a facebook user. His Dreadnought Halcyon #80 was delivered to the wrong address by Canada Post, and was never found. I just talked to him today, and it's still missing. So everyone, please help keep an eye out!

Ouch, that's terrible. Mine is still a couple of weeks away. We've had a couple of setbacks in the process and Ed has been fantastic with the communication. My guitar will have some history and mojo even when I get it brand new

I'm really looking forward to seeing how yours turns out!

Just FYI, that guitar wasn't in transit to the new owner from Ed. The original purchaser re-sold it, and this happened.

I was fortunate enough to receive my Halcyon yesterday, number 219. I am very pleased with how it turned out and the build process with Ed was awesome. Will likely place an order for my next one soon. Official NGD thread in the general forum here, with pics.

Still loving the NL-00 Lutz/Walnut (#164)! I added the black pickguard later as a nerdy homage to the Nick Lucas that Zimmerman kid used to play.

Well, nobody has shown much interest in the General discussion section about this... so here's another link to the Halcyon Archival Project.

Upon my return from a week in Costa Rica, #214 (Walnut/Lutz NL-00) was at long last in my hands. I've been getting to know her for the last couple of days and I'll post more thoughts and better photos in a NGD thread, most likely over the weekend. I made the pickguard using amber tigerstripe Tortoloid which I got from StewMac.

Default Photo of an NL-00 in action.

Played my Halcyon at a gig last night. Fun times.

Curious when the web site will be fully developed. I saw a few "Coming soon" areas.

Well, likely not any time soon. The administrator has a new job that keeps her quite occupied...

But I'm inclined to think there has to be enough on there already to nicely make the point.
