Dale, I’m not A seasoned expert, but I ain’t scared either...LoL. Seriously, I had one and checked/reset the changer for the gauges of strings I had in my inventory along with some fine tuning so it would play like I wanted. If someone needs help(and I have time) I’ll look at it and tell them if it’s over my head, but I doubt that it would be unless it’s a really bad problem.

Nice! What a clean looking guitar. Does the"Z" denote single neck?
I haven't seen a invoice # with a letter before.

Strange, I see the 2 in the first set of numbers but it's definitely a Z. afterwards.
I have invoice # 2255. It's a D-10.

Garry,
Your eyes and mine see the same thing. I might holler at Mike Cass to get his input.

The only thing missing on your new guitar is the proper v-pedal that was engineered to go with it by big E.

Sweet guitar. I really liked mine but I guess I’m just an all pull guy. Great tone and incredibly stable once you get it tuned up. Congratulations.

George/Larry,

I really like the stability of the PP’s and of course the tone/sustain I’ve experienced with the Cut Tails, so I’m anxious to interact with this one.
