My 2010 SD-10 Hybrid. Also a one owner. 4 & 5, Trutone pickup, original except for one added pull with return comp.

Danny, it was worth the wait! Beautiful guitars...

Thanks Marty. The red one came with what I think was a Bruce wound pickup. I thought it could be better, tried an E66, too bright. Then I tried a 10-1, not bad. I had kinda put it away & wasnâ€™t playing it & then I had acquired a 19k Emmons single coil. I put it on & some DeAddario strings & the guitar came to life again. Probably would be ok now with the Bruce pickup. I think my taste & amps have changed.

Danny,
I sent you a PM and an email with a question.

Marty Broussard · Post by **Marty Broussard** » 4 Dec 2020 12:16 pm

Hey Folks,
How wide is the cabinet on your guitars that you posted? I have a Justice Pro-Lite S10 with a pad and it is very comfortable to play. I also have a Justice SD10 Judge that is wider by 1" and it feels completely different--to me.

The Pro-Lite is 9" wide and the Judge is 10" wide.(IF my memory is correct.)

Just wondering what dimensions Bruce chose when building his guitars.

Thanks for any feedback.

If you'll look carefully at the photo of the red S-10 Zum, the endplates taper out wider at the legs. The width of the cabinet is 7.25" but where the legs screw into the end plates it is 9.5" The SD-10 Hybrid cabinet is 10.5 and the endplates wrap conventionally around the corners where it is 11".
It is my understanding that at a point in time, Bruce quit making S-10 Pro Zums because he ran out of the original order of endplates and he didn't think he would sell enough to justify the minimum order of endplates.

Wow, John! Did you request the Bolt-On configuration?

Danny Letz · Post by **Danny Letz** » 9 Dec 2020 4:14 pm

Nice. I have information that there are only six Zumsteels with bolt on changers, 3 D-10s and 3 SD-10s

Hi Marty

The guitar is unbelievable. I did not order it, it was already built.

Happy Holidays to all,

JW

What I like with Single Zum is the endplate design. Front and back legs are further apart so they are more stable than others I belive.

This is my 1977 Zum S10. Great guitar. I have played Gfi(student and pro) , Shobud and dekley before, and this Zum is by far the best I've played
