Here is a 1997 Zum D-10 purchased from Lynn Stafford (his personal guitar). 8x8 with or without a 1 inch lift kit. If you want the lift kit, it has lightweight legs on the front. If not, regular legs, I will ship either way. With lightweight legs the guitar weighs 63 lbs in the case, which is fuzzy grey and in decent shape w/leg bag.

Standard Emmons setup with E's on the left. There is an inside knee (LKL #2 which bumps 1 and 7--the F#s to G's). LKV lowers 5 and 10 B-Bb.

Two extra knees on C6th (Lkl raises 3 and 7 to C# and LkR raises 3 and 6 to F). C6 RKL lowers 3 C-B and RKR raises 5 A-Bb)

Guitar is equipped with splits, in fact it has all the bells and whistles you would expect from being the personal guitar of a gifted technician like Lynn.
$5000 Firm, no trades, plus ride from 98070.
Id keep it but I found a 9x9 Mullen I like better, that and I have two boys ready to go to college, and a recently restored D-10 '77 push pull...

Guitar is in excellent condition, plays great, and stays in tune. What would you expect? Yes this will go fast. text me at 206-276-5822

Correction. LKR on C6 raises 2 and 6. E to F.

The pickups are Jerry Wallace TruTones.

Tab is correct in stating that this was one of my personal guitars. It resided in my studio for about two years or so.

This is a one of a kind ZumSteel that was originally custom built for Dean Holman. There are spring-loaded dowel pins in the crossbars that protrude into blind bushings in the rear apron (similar to an Emmons LeGrande). But Bruce designed them in such a way that they are completely serviceable and the crossbars can be readily removed if desired.

Because of the Franklin change on the 4th pedal, I incorporated a 3rd pull rod to facilitate the 5th string split to C while using the 5th VKL and pedal A. There is also a 6th string split to G (RKL + B pedal) and a 7th string lowering compensator. This is a great playing and sounding steel!

This was my guitar, I saw this color on one of Jimmy Crawford’s JCH cabinets. He said he got the Formica from Paul Franklin Sr. I bought some of it from Paul Sr and sent it to Bruce to build that guitar out of. I played that guitar when I was working for Tanya Tucker. I ended up selling that guitar to a student that I was giving lessons to when I moved back to Branson. My student decided that he wanted to learn dobro instead. I ended up taking it to Bobby Seymour and he bought it. I don’t know where all it went after that. I wish I hadn’t of gotten rid of it. I can only imagine how it sounds now. To my knowledge, I’m pretty sure it’s the only Zum with that color Formica. Wish I could find a way to get it back, but I just can’t afford Zums anymore.

MAn these really nice ones wind up on great stages. Lots of people interested but I bites yet. Just for the record-I paid 5500 for it, plus more to get it switched around.
