Still finalizing the last couple things - hope for soon! Am not sure it'll be ready for ZMF November but we are trying!

@zach915m Are all ZMF models being released in Shou-Sugi-Ban European Ash on October 27th?

Marking the 24th of November. Hyped for this

Looking very forward to the release of the ZMF Homage. I shouldn't buy it on day one, but I have a feeling I will buy it on day one.
If only I could get an Olive wood face to match my AC's lol.

This is going to be problematic. Only have funds for one item. Was set on getting a Caldera. But now with Homage and Bokeh coming out...

For the price of a Caldera I could get the Homage and Bokeh...

How does the "stabilized and resin" wood effect the sound, compared to a regular hard wood or regular soft wood? Also, is "stabilized and resin" different from "epoxy stabilized", and if so, how?

 

[Deleeh]

Hello @zach915m,

Thanks for the info on the Salire.
Little is known about the bokeh so far.Roughly, we only know about the Can Jam.
Is there more information about it?
In less than 2 months it will be Christmas again,.

@zach915m super excited about the Homage! Have the specs been finalized and if so are they available? Can't wait to see what the final production version looks like! What woods for the faceplates, etc. And seriously, why do you hate my wallet so much? I know i'll impulse buy an ash AC even though I have a stunning Redwood Burl. But that ash is so damn good looking. I'm running out of organs to harvest for this hobby

Question on the Homage and it's sonics. You're a tube lover, as many of us owners are. How close does the high ohm output of the Homage come to a decent tube amp? I've become so enthralled with tube amps that listening to almost all solid state amps feels empty to me. They just lack that special sauce tubes bring. How close does the Homage get to it? I know it's not a tube amp and won't sound exactly like one, but I just something solid state that's close.

How long will the Shou-Sugi-Ban European Ash LTD run for? That is, beyond the 24th Nov It would be nice to see what turns up on the 24th for the AC but I do like the Lava Burst Sunrise!!

 

[OnlySoMany]

Ugh, not again....

Love this time of year. Here is a score from their last special release. How anyone can not love this brand is beyond me. True artists.

Eagerly awaiting Caldera photos
