Hi all. I'm just enquiring for a friend of mine who is not a Forum member. He bought a little beginner Zum in 1988 over here in the UK. It's not a stageone. It's 3 pedals and 3 levers. Real smooth levers. It's a dark Turquoise Mica with the silver strips on the top and bottom of the front apron. It has the Zumsteel decal on the front apron too. The fret board is just laid on the top deck as most beginners steels. He's not after selling it, but when I saw it tonight I thought I'd just enquire what it's worth...I'd have to convert the $dollar to British sterling. The legs just push in and lock...no screwing in! He's not into steel as such and it just sits in the case. I've advised him not to sell it as there's probably not many of those around. It's immaculate in finish as are the pro ones out there today. Hoping for some responce.

Paddy...I got a nice reply from Doug. He cant remember the lock in legs and will try to remember to ask Bruce about them, but said those early Zum student models still fetch between $550 and $750. At least my friend will know now
