I'm looking to send my 1969 ZB Custom to a new home. It's 7+3, no "A" pedal on C6th, and no RKL on the right knee, otherwise Emmons Set-up.
It's all original, all pick-up taps and switch work properly. It plays, well, like a ZB. A bit lumpy, but all pulls work and stop correctly. Sounds great.
It's two-tone, brown aprons, blonde top, black fingerboards. A case that I think is orig, and in good shape is included.
I can send pics if you're intersted.
I'm asking $1350, and I'm located in California. I'd love to do a local pick-up, but
I realize that that is not likely to happen.

To list any issues I can think of:
1) finish is crazed and original
2) lacquer is worn off in between the necks
3) the previous owner (since 1972) had engraved his name and DL number in to the endplate.
4) some sort of shim with glue in in between the endplate and the changer. Nothing is cracked, though.

I can send more pics on request.
I imagine shipping will be near $80.
I can take paypal, but we'll have to split the fees.
Thanks!
Mike

This is great buy. If I didn't already have two this would be mine. Great tone and they stay in tune! Someone
should buy this now. Shocked

Thanks Chuck.

It's a good player, it was my first stel, I learned on it. It served me very well, being able to play all the stuff that's printed on the net and in lesson books due to the basic, standard set-up she has.
I was able to focus on learning and playing, not fiddling with a guitar. It's very stable as far as tuning and tuning of the pulls.

It also comes with a matching brown cover and leg bag that was made by Gary Preston, custom.

Thanks for looking everyone.
