steve takacs · Post by **steve takacs** » 22 May 2004 9:07 am

Can any of you Zumsteel people tell me approximately what year a D-10 with the serial no. D1087343 might be? Thanks, steve

87 maybe?

Paddy Long · Post by **Paddy Long** » 23 May 2004 5:46 pm

No, I think 87 means 8 pedals and 7 knees --cos I have a 9+9 coming with the s/n D1099***
-- but I could be wrong.

Hi Steve

I just called Bruce for you and found out you have a 1989 Zumsteel D-10 Serial #
D1087343. Hope this helps.

Your half-chinee buddy

I got a ZumSteel with this serial: SD-1035558. But I´m not sure when my guitar is built? Mabe in the middel of
the 90´s?

Clearly your guitar was made either
in 1087 AD or 7343 BC.

Look at the back of the rear mica panel.
Is there not the date of assemblage written?

I know....cut it in half and count the rings in the wood. Works on trees!

I have a Zum Universal that is 18 years old and a Double 10 Zum that is 6 years old and they play as good as if they where new. If not I guarantee Bruce will work on them and fix them as good as they was. Zumsteel is the best guitar i Have played, and the pros play them too. If not it wouldn't take so long to get one, weeeee
