| It's a single neck ZB. The endplate horns were most likely cut off to access better string change access. The key head horns were also cut off. |

Yes: those ZB S10 end-plates are unmistakable.

Thanks, Kevin.
I wonder if there are any other old ZBs that have been altered like that.

When Tom Brumley was building ZB's, didn't he cut off the horns?

| I've seen the keyhead horns cut off on 11 and 12 string models before to make it fit on a standard 10 string length body, but not the endplate. Perhaps it's a longer scale-length guitar as well as a 12 string ? |

Me either, and I owned 2 of them. It could be a badly butchered ZB.. The section between the neck and changer is also gone.
