This is posted for a friend without 'net access.
ZB Custom D-10, 8 and 2. I'm not sure about the age of the guitar. The finish is pretty rough and the fretboard on the top neck is warped a little and lifting off of the neck. I've got the top neck (E9th) playing ok but it still needs some work but I don't think I'm enough of a ZB tech. to do the job properly. I haven't worked on the back neck yet.
Mechanically the guitar looks good and I suspect it just needs a little TLC (and an experienced ZB owner) to turn the unit into good condition.
He told me to start at $1500.
If interested email me and I'll reply with the owner's contact info. If the guitar sells to a forum member I'll make the appropriate donation to the forum.
Thanks, Doug Garrick

Hi Doug:
If you can find out the serial number from your friend, I'll be happy to send along some information (as much as I can) about the guitar's age, history, etc.
All ZBest,
Larry

Thanks Larry, I'll take you up on that offer. It'll be a few days before I get back over, but when I do I'll track down the S/N and we'll go from there.

Hi Kevin:
Three ZBs? I think you have a serious ZB problem... just kidding. They're seriously ZBest!
Just finished restoring my 70s D-10. It's 8+4 now! Yah!

Hi Daniel and Armon:
Daniel - you sold me the lovely, buttery #1077, which is the warmest-sounding steel I've ever played. Thank you!
Armon - the serial number should be stamped into the metal edge of the guitar on the underside and on the same side as the changer. Happy Hunting and Happy Thanksgiving, too!
Don't forget that Doug's selling his buddy's ZB.

Since I didn't have a clue about the resale value of this guitar we decided to start with a price that was at the very top of the scale (based on my own perception of the condition of the guitar).
I think it is now safe to say that a price reduction is appropriate. Let's try $1200.00
Like I say, the guitar is not in bad condition, it's just not in great condition either. I'll try to get some pictures and post them or email if anyone is interested.
