I would like to contact Zumsteel guitars to see if they will build me a D-10 , left-handed Zum. Can someone please direct me where to go?
Thanks, Roy

Bruce builds a Super guitar and if he doesn't
I think Jerry Fessenden does. Click on links above to find Steel builders E-mail Lots of Luck, and are you sure you can't learn right handed? it sure would give you alot more choices. I believe Lloyd is left-handed, but plays right. It don't get any better. Skip

I wish I had of learned to play right handed, but I have been playing my D-10 MSA for 29 years now. I don't think I could switch now.....lol..
Thanks

Sorry Roy, you're right. Don't know why I assumed you were just gonna start.

Thank you Jerry for the info.
Skip, no problem. You can't imagine how much I wish I would have learned to play right handed. It is a very right-handed world. Started on guitar when I was about 10 years old. I just seemed so natural left-handed.

Roy, I don't know whether I am right or left handed. At an early age I always picked up my Dad's guitar left handed but when I got my first lap steel I turned it around right handed and kept it that way. I write, eat, bat, eat, golf, eat, hammer, saw, eat left handed and pick guitar right handed. It is surely not the time for you or me to try to change anything now. I bet you can get a new left handed guitar built. You might possible have a problem with Bruce's area code, somehow I think it may have changed but you should have no problem finding it if it has changed. The best of luck to you!

In my opinion, Bruce builds the best guitar in the business. You may have a wait of eight months or more, but the results are well worth it. I currently play a D-10 Zum, and have another on order.
