This '88 ZumSteel U12 used to belong to a fellow named Michael Moore of Seattle, Washington. It was a real mess when he brought it to me to convert to more of a standard U12 for him. I purchased the necessary parts from Bruce Zumsteg and reconfigured the setup for Michael.

Here are a few "before" photos.

Here is a photo I took after I did the work on it.

Yeah, Now I see.... the LKL was folded under the Vertical in the first set of pictures....

Don't get me wrong, I'd buy the rosewood, but my wife won't let me. Black guitars only :D

That's a whole lot of guitar with 8x5.

Hi, Damir, the "Boo-Wah" is the nickname for the (originally) 8th C6 pedal that along with other changes drops the bottom string 1 1/2 tones, sounding like Boo-----Wah… Jeff Newman popularized it's position being moved next to pedal 5, replacing the less-used old 4th pedal, as a number of licks move between pedal 5 and 8. I like it there myself, don't miss the old 4th pedal change.
Nice guitar, looks much like a similar vintage Zum I have which is a fine axe.

Would it be easily practicable to reverse RKR with LKL?

Post by Michael Moore »

This is a great guitar, and Lynn did a beautiful job cleaning it up and getting the setup just right. It ended up as the 3rd of 3 guitars, and just didn't get played enough to keep. Beautifully built and restored - it'll make a great guitar for someone...
