Zum Ext. E9 beautiful 5x5

Scott McRee · Post by **Scott McRee** » 23 May 2016 1:35 pm

I'm selling my gorgeous 2002 zum steel because I just need the money. This guitar is a tone monster. It has 5 pedals and 5 levers and I have 2 extra pedals and pedal rods I'll throw in as well if you want to make it a universal. It used to be universal and then I had Tommy Dodd go over the whole guitar and convert it to ext. E9. It looks great and sounds just wonderful. I hate having to let this one go and was recommended to hold onto it but I just need the money right now. Case is in great shape as well. Standard Emmons setup with a nice immediate minor chord change wherever you're at on the 5th pedal. 1st pedal is Franklin pedal then standard Emmons A, B, and C pedals. E's on the left. Obviously all of thid is easily adjustsble to your liking. Selling for $3,100 obo. These guitar are only increasing in value because Bruce isn't making them anymore.

TTT. This guitar is a spectacular one. I'm shocked it's still available. Really big sound and comes with 2 more pedals which makes it 7x5.

If I had not bought my Emmons reissue i would have been all over that guitar.

This is one of my favorite models, no pad, EXE9.....
I will offer to reconfigure this guitar and do a total lube, tune out for 150.00...and pass it on to you....This guitar will surely appreciate!!

I went through this guitar and converted it over to an extended E9 for Scott. I know this to be a very solid, great sounding guitar and in great shape. Somebody's going to get a real deal.

Tommy's a great guy and very meticulous. If he worked on this Zum you can rest assured it's quality work and setup properly!

Dave and Tommy thanks for the nice post. The guitar is great and Dave is right, Tommy knows his stuff.

Silly me Paddy-missed the build date, I was so excited I bought the guitar immediately !! Should arrive here in UK on Tues 7th !!
Can't wait - All I've got to do now is get used to 12 strings instead of 10 which I've been grappling with for 40+years!! Hey Ho ever onward !! Wish me luck !

Gus once you get used to where that it has string is you'll be good to go. You'll love the guitar. It will feel a little awkward grabbing thathe 5,6,8 grip at first because you'll feel like youre in the lower middle portion of the stringshow. Make a little sharpie Mark on the 8th string. Should help. I love 12 Strings though. Those low cello like strings amazing. Let me know how you like the guitar. [/list]

Thanks Scott - I think my first number on it will be 'All fingers and Thumbs'! Wonder what she will sound like down to EX/D9 ?

Just received a wonderful guitar ZUM 12str 5X5 from Scott Mcree. Well packed-guitar is like new for a 14yr old instrument! Well pleased I am Scott-just got get to grips with what looks like another 500 strings-Hah!
Biggest problem as Scott now knows is UK import duty from the US + 20% of value in VAT-that cost me another $650 ??? I was under the impression that used older instruments did not have that tax charge levied-seems our lot changed that and didn't tell anyone ?? Hey Ho, I'll try hard to forget that bit of shitty news. By the way my divorce is next week ! Hah ! Once again Scott, thanks for a great guitar. Gus.

Heh, Gus,
It's only money which would have been used for a few pints more in any case. You picked up an unusually fine Zum specimen that looks, plays and sounds uber-special. Enjoy it. Hope to hear you play it someday soon.

This steel could not have gone to a nicer guy and one who really knows how to play steel steve t.
