ZB Custom, Could use some advice

Post by Barton Merle-Smith »

Hello everyone. I am new to the pedal steel and could use a little help and direction. I have come across a ZB Custom S-10 with 3 pedals and a knee lever. I thought it would be a good place to start. The guitar is missing one of the bridge round changer pieces that the string goes over. Looks like the end of an open end box wrench with the handle cut off and rounded.(How's that for terminology?) Anyway I have no idea where to get any parts for this guitar. Can anyone here steer me in the right direction? I could also use some advice as to gauge and type of strings. The condition of the guitar is fine other than that. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Ann Fabian from Carter was the one who suggested I start here. Thank you all in advance.
Regards,
Barton merle-Smith

There's a guy in the buy and sell section who has ZB parts. Just scroll down the list.
