ZumSteel D-10 8+5

This old ZumSteel D-10 was built to last. It's been used but not abused, still works well and sounds fantastic. $2750 + shipping.

This guitar was built in 1981, so it's 30 years old.

Sorry, no trades.

Wow!! Bob, I am in love,
with your guitar of course, nice looking axe, why are you selling it? I might be interested, have to check with my girl friend first, I promised her a trip this winter, she may say no, will let you know.

I'm selling it because I need the money, Steven. No other reason - there's nothing about the guitar that I don't like.

Too bad b0b. I got rid of a perfectly good push pull for the same reason...

Not to pick a fight, b0b, but according to the serial number, it's a 1985 model.

John De Maille · Post by **John De Maille** » 2 Oct 2011 4:36 pm

I believe the 85 means 8 floor pedals and 5 knee levers. I remember reading that, somewhere on the ZumSteel website or the sight with the pictures of all the owners and their ZumSteels.

Looks like the serial number says 1981

I wouldn't want to misrepresent it. It's 1981, not 1985, according to the serial number on the endplate. I believe it's all original - it doesn't look like it's ever been disassembled.

my first Zum was from that same year
it was a great steel & it's still goin' strong
i really liked the conception of those models
i prefer those bellcranks to the newer ones actually
& those vertical levers were dynOmite

If you buy b0b's Zum, I will provide you, the buyer, with fifteen original 3/8ths axle bellcranks so you can have spares.
No charge.

Looks like this ZumSteel will be going to Australia.

Great looking Zum b0b!

For anyone who is lucky enough to get this Zum, I'll throw in a free BIG Tuning Wrench even though you probably won't need to tune this Zum very much!

Jerry Roller · Post by **Jerry Roller** » 5 Oct 2011 9:09 am

To whoever buys this Zum I will send them a brand new Pearse Cryogenic tone bar 3 1/4" X 7/8".
Jerry

Just waiting on the funds from Australia.

Jerry Roller · Post by **Jerry Roller** » 5 Oct 2011 9:44 am

b0b, if the buyer is OK with it please give me his mailing address when deal is complete and I will send the bar to him.
Jerry

Carl Williams · Post by **Carl Williams** » 5 Oct 2011 10:09 am

b0b,
I'll mail the wrench out to you tomorrow for the buyer of your Zum so you can pack it along with the steel. Congrats on the sale! Carl

I will also send three kittens.

Hi there to all in the states.
I am the buyer of this fine guitar. Funds are in transit. Although I am only new to this forum I am born again steeler. Have have a number of guitars over the years. Sold my last one (MCI D 10) about 10 years ago and have been without ever since. Got bitten by the bug again and needed a fix I guess.

But I just can't believe the generosity shown by Chris and others who want to contribute a little something to an unknown purchaser.

Thank you very very much indeed.

I just hope I can regain my chops.

Chris

Chris,no matter how much I enjoyed your playing that old blue Zum at the Bishop Tri-County Fair, I never did send you kittens.
