Dave will say: "Better than Dusk Tiger."
We had a thread on the Triumph II before, in case you want to refresh your memory:

It's better than using Triumph II, since that could cause confusion with the Gibson LP Triumph. OTOH the original Epi Zenith was a pre-Gibson hollowbody student grade archtop guitar. Why dredge up an old name that belonged to something different?

Lack of imagination??
I played a proto a couple months ago and I was disappointed. The problem I have with heavy poly finishes is they seem to dampen the liveliness of the wood. This thing has a big body, but didn't have a lot of volume or resonance. The neck was a abseball bat too. I hope they worked through some of those issues.

I also noticed the name change...
That's better I think. I once tried to find an Embassy for Dolf of The Datsuns. In the end I found one here for him. But while googling I only found the new pointy Embassy...
