Hey everyone, was just wondering if anybody could give me some information on an old ZB pedal steel that was my dad's before he passed away. I am wondering if anyone could tell me the year it was made. I have a picture of me sitting at it when I was 2 yrs old in 1969, so I know it is older than that. It is serial #1157. I know Zane built it for my father. Thanks for any info.

Wow! That is a real beauty and has to be one of the cleanest original Zane Beck guitars I've seen. |

| It dates to Oct./Nov. of 1968. One of the last of the Zane built guitars. Extremely nice condition. #1141 was built in Sep. 3rd, 1968. The inlay scheme is not pre 1968 either. |

Thank You for the information Greg. That sounds right, I messed up, the picture of me sitting at it when I was 2yrs old was in 1969. I was born in 67. Wow thats great to actually know when it was invoiced. -Daniel |

I got my new ZB about May of 1969 and the srial
number on my guitar is #1138. I got the guitar about
8 or 9 months after I ordered. |

Hey Kevin, I do appreciate your reply to my post relating to my ZB. I couldn't remember the date
that I order my guitar but I did order it through
"Dearth Guitar Studio" in Lima, Ohio and I would
say that date is correct also.
I still own the guitar and play it about every day.
Again, thanks... |

| Francais, how about posting a picture of that guitar for all of us ZB fans here? There are not many Zane guitars left. |
