HI Roger
Dont know for sure.
J.R Rose was kind enough to send me some information and from what I understood it may be 69 or earlier Greg Jones would be the one to ask about ser #
The ZB custom logo was replaced when the guitar was refinished.

Many thanks to all for their responses.
Asking 1000.plus shipping as that is what I have in the guitar.
Have not weighed it ( my wife got mad and threw out the bathroom scale )
but Im guessing close to 100Lb in the Case.
from the information kindly sent to me that is more than a fair price.

Thanks

Hi jim
I was hoping someone with ZB expertise could suggest an approximate value.
I would be happy to recover my investment as the guitar is just taking up space but not at the cost of dissapointing a buyer.

I DONT BELIEVE IT i have spent 1 1/2 weeks trying to get this right and a couple hand fulls of hair. the tricky part was balancing string 1 and 5 since one is raise and one is lower so opposite string tension comes into play. after almost wearing out the threads from moving rods and pivot points and...

Thanks Bob
that helped,had to tighten spring almost to max.
Now string 1 pulls with string 5 but string 9 and 10 dont pull until 1 and 5 reach their limit.
not knowing the C6 neck (yet)just wondering how often would string 1, 5,9 and 10 be used together.

GOT It,ya hoo thanks Eric looks like I wont need them but thanks for replying. I think it was Jon who suggested reversing the tuner. I misread and thought he was referring to the two tuner assemblies. I changed the tuner on C6 string 1. the button is offset on opposite side of the main shaft dependi...

i may have the first time,after swapping them the spacing was increased but the handle of the C6 string 1 still hits the body of the E9 string 11 tuner and cannot be turned.The problem is that the body and handle ( if that is the correct wording) of the Grover tuner is larger than the original tuner...
