Here it is, the one that actually belongs to me.

This is a ZumSteel S-10 guitar. It is all wood, and is a Stage One type guitar, before the Stage One name was used (correct me if I'm wrong, guys). 3 knee levers, 3 pedals, in an Emmons setup.

Its in great shape, the pickup sounds very nice. This is very well built and designed. It includes a nice hard case. $750 plus shipping, USA preferred.

I'm not sure, honestly, but if I can learn to play a left-handed guitar upside-down as well as a right-handed guitar, you can learn to play Emmons!

Just kidding!

I've got a pending sale on this, so it may be gone.

That's two buyers backing out. Anyone want to step up? I lowered the asking price by a hundred bucks.

These are really good guitars and are quite light and small even in the case. There's no reason the pull release changer couldn't handle the change to Day set up but you'd need to be a welder to change the bell cranks. On the other hand, I suppose it would possible to exchange the 1'st and 3'rd crosshafts for each other not sure about the knee lever's though??

I agree with Mickey, these are great little guitars. But do note that the changer is not all-pull, but pull-release, I think. You have to think a little different to tune it up, but it works fine and plays and sounds great.

They don't tune that much differently than an all pull....tune the strings open at the keyhead, tune the pedals and raise levers at the endplate with the nylon hex tuners, then tune the lowers at the endplate with the socket head screws above the changer window. I think other pull-release systems may have another tuning procedure.
I visited with Jason last week and would not hesitate to do business with him.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, Doug. When I can afford to get back into learning the pedal steel, I'll contact you for one of your very nice instruments.
