I just missed out of that one, congrats!Eric Dahlhoff wrote:For the holidays this year I convinced my wife to travel down to southern California & visit Jim Palenscar's shop. I've been trying to play pedal steel for less than 2 years, and it was such a BLAST to finally get to see and play all these different makes & models.
And well... here's what I came home with. Jim made sure it was set up & played well. I am a very happy camper!
Ser# 0560. Any idea when it was born?

Russ I ordered that shirt 2 months ago and Rusty himself sent a little Christmas message, signed on a card with thanks and he sent me a CD. I guess he and his wife are taking care of the swag. It may sound a little teenage but it gave me a warm fuzzy at my age. He is one of many players that made me want to play pedal steel when all my friends were rocking on guitar. The new CD is great. Love the music.

When I met Sneaky Pete in 2005 I was a 50 year old teenager again! Rusty is the best and I'd feel the same meeting him.
... and yes Kevin you are so correct!
Here is a link to a song my friend Paul asked me to play on for a CD he was doing and I did some guitar and steel including the 1969 ZB Custom I got from Chuck. I don't get to play much so this was fun.

Unfortunately I don't have time at the moment to go through al 100 pages of this post, but I do have 1 question! Whats the deal with the far majority of ZBs having 4 digit serials? Mine has 13!

I picked it up from consignment at a music shop in Prairieville, LA (a little south of Baton Rouge). All I know is it was owned by an older gentleman (or gentlewoman??) who passed away and his grandchildren were selling his music equipment. Hadn't been played in many years, decade or more possibly. The tone is amazing. Here is some more pics.
It also had this Goodrich pedal with it. A clue maybe?

I'm late into this thread. Al plays Anapeg now, but still keeps a ZB in UK for Europe tours. I did some work on it a while back. Also in this thread is mention of Eric Snowball, who had "the Steel Mill" shop in UK. Al's ZB has a plate on the front that says it was made for Eric.Brendan Mitchell wrote:Al Perkins is probably why I play steel today .
I found this thread looking for ZB info as I just got a blue D10 and it needs a little work to get it smooth again. I read here the colour often fades, but mine is a strong blue. Serial #0552. I'll try to get some pics up soon. Tony.
