No, I think 87 means 8 pedals and 7 knees --cos I have a 9+9 coming with the s/n D1099***
-- but I could be wrong.

Hi Steve

I just called Bruce for you and found out you have a 1989 Zumsteel D-10 Serial #
D1087343. Hope this helps.

Your half-chinee buddy

Clearly your guitar was made either
in 1087 AD or 7343 BC.

Look at the back of the rear mica panel.
Is there not the date of assemblage written?

I have a Zum Universal that is 18 years old and a Double 10 Zum that is 6 years old and they play as good as if they where new. If not I guarantee Bruce will work on them and fix them as good as they was. Zumsteel is the best guitar i Have played, and the pros play them too. If not it wouldn't take so long to get one, weeeee

Zumsteel D10, Zumsteel S12/ Nashville 400/Nashville400/ Boss delay/Goodrich volume pedal
