| Just wondering if this would be possible. Not necessarily just dropping the new changer in but maybe with some minor mods? I have no knowledge of Zum cabinet depth etc. I suppose if this were possible it would have been done quite a bit though. |

| Ok, I found in a search that it might not be possible as the cutout for the hybrid changer is smaller. I'm partial to laquer guitars though and I understand Bruce is not building them anymore. |

Scott,
You may want to talk with the builder about doing a retrofit if you haven't already. As far as getting a new laquer Zum hybrid made it might be possible. I wanted a laquer steel made from a couple of builders that don't normally make them and it was easily done by having the cabinet built by somebody else to the steel builders specs. I had one made that came out beautiful. Even had an inlaid fretboard. Those Zum hybrids are special guitars and well worth the wait. Quite a few of the builders out there are friends and able to work with each other if you want something special.

Scott,
Mark Giles looks like he could satisfy four needs for a cabinet...look here.

| Thanks a lot. I never considered going that route. I'll look into someone doing a cab to Zum specs. |
