I'm selling a D10 Zum , Black Mica , 9 and 7. I used this guitar for five years while on the road with Reba. It is in great shape with return compensaters. It also has minimum cabinet drop due to Bruce Zumstegs incredible engineering. This guitar never let me down and stayed in tune better than any guitar I've owned.
I'm only selling because I found a beautiful Hybrid Zum.
I will post pictures as soon as I figure out how to do it:)

Bruce, do you find any difference between the tone of the hybrid and the non-hybrid Zum? I’ve got a D10 hybrid but have not played too many nons.

They both sound great. I'd say the non hybrid has a bit more of a pronounced mid range. As far as playability they both are very precise. Bruce Zumsteg , along with Bud Carter and Paul Franklin built some fine guitars back in the day.Fortunately you can still get parts for the sum, although, in the case of this guitar, it's pretty much set up.I'll get pics up soon:)

This is an incredible steel for someone. A late model Zum played by, and setup for one of the top steel players in the world. A guitar that has been played well is always going to resonate better than a closet queen.
