    I was about to sell my blackwood ones, but I will upgrade them instead.

    The classic would be a great addition to a loaner tour (paging @rhythmdevils ) for all of us that have the OG... because I'd definitely want to put ears on the new version H2H before committing to send my beloved Cocobolo Auteurs for what I may not consider an upgrade in the end.

    Looks like the new ZMF Auteur Classic will make its debut at Can Jam Chicago this weekend. As much as I'm not the biggest fan of Jude ( I know he isn't of me, lol), the Can Jam video has deets. Okay, I'm just too lazy to type out what Warren said.

    Skip the ol Jude video to 8:38

    Thanks for the post. BTW, Atrium talk comes first -- Auteur talk starts at 9:30 or so . Highlights:

    Unequivocal endorsement of Auteur Classic upgrade.

    Pricing for Auteur Classic mentioned as $1499. No price for upgrade yet.

    Some (few dozen) Auteur Classic units will be available for sale at CanJam Chicago.

    I have a Classic (was getting my old one refurbished and was offered the upgrade) and it is fantastic. Will be doing a full write up soon, hopefully this weekend. I agree with recommending the upgrade, it's a nice step up from the original. They're different enough that I'll start a new thread for the Classic.

    I don't mind but I couldn't say because I was already getting mine refurbished and had other "special circumstances" (don't want to go into) so my pricing is muddied by other stuff. Hopefully Zach announces an official price soon.

    I PM'd @zach915m w/ a question regarding the upgrade (not about price) and his response suggested that they're still figuring out exactly what the upgrade will entail. Probably can't set pricing until that is firmed up.

    Hopefully soon, although I'm sure he busy right now w/ CANJAM in his backyard.
