Just picked this little beauty up and though you would like to see it. The history is that it was built for Bud Eastman in 1985. 7 knees. There is just something about a laquer steel, doncha think?

i like it... i want it...
i'd love to compare the sound of this to my '82 mica job!
i think early to mid 80's zumses may be the best sounding steels ever. for some reason they pre-empted legrandes , jch's, fronklins, etc. and that's good company!
were there many other lacquer zums this early? |

Hmmm...I think it may have the wide 2 5/8" pedal spacing. I wonder what kind of pickups are in there?

| Hey David, all is not lost, if you bring this guitar over we may be able to save it! I think we can stick some Black Mica on it to cover up that woodgrain, and probably make it sound even better at the same time!! |
