Hello to all. I am helping a non-computer literate friend sell his father's old steel guitar. This guitar is one of the first 5 steel guitars hand built by Bruce Zumsteg, according to the man himself. Solid maple top with walnut sides, built in 1958. Parts machined by A.B. Chance in Bruce's hometown of Centralia, Missouri. Purchased by Frank Powers of Centralia, MO in 1969 or 1970 and now in his son's possession. In very good condition, this is a beautiful instrument that plays in tune and stays in tune. Hard case (in fair condition) included. This is an early example of Bruce's artistry and engineering genius, as such it bears no serial number. When compared with the price point of newer Zumsteel-licensed student models, the owner is confident that this early solid wood example is worth the asking price of $1800. Contact me at bishop-paul@att.net if interested. Will try to answer any questions you have here in the forum, the owner can be reached by me for clarification of details.

Will have by the weekend. Knew I should have. From what I understand two of the pedals are reversed but can be configured the other way. |

Here are a few with the included case. Packs snugly inside, should be safe if shipped correctly.
