Without doubt, the best ZB I have ever seen, and I have had a large number pass through my hands. I used to sell them in the early to mid 1970's. Billy Knowles is a genius.

Damir - if the pound wasn't so weak against the dollar I would buy that guitar in a heartbeat and fly over and collect it personally. It is a wonderful example of a ZB, and the fact that it is set up in Day mode is the icing on the cake for me.

I know it Damir - I just can't bring myself to pull the trigger at the moment even though I can afford to buy it. It just wouldn't be economically viable. I will be gutted when you sell it.   I have owned 2 ZB's including one that was a special built for me by Zane, but that one is so special due to Billy's handiwork all over it. I have a lot of time for him and his expertise.
I'm coming to Nashville in September, and maybe I can treat you to lunch while I'm there.

You missed your vocation in life Damir - you should have been a used car salesman. 
I have bought from you before as you know, and I know that I can buy from you in confidence. If the ZB doesn't go in the next month, I might have a re-think.

| This is an incredible bargain for this ZB. The attention to detail and period correct reconstruction is impeccable. It is a beautiful playing and sounding guitar. I would think it impossible to find another to compare to this ZB, especially in this pristine condition. |
