I found this picture of myself (my, don't I look young and handsome?) playing my ZB at the Swizzle Stik in Huntington Beach CA about 1975/1976 I think. This was a wonderful sounding guitar, built in Phoenix for me by the fella who had recently bought the company (Bill was his first name and I forget his last). Beautiful amber wood with the mother of toilet seat inlays. I don't recall the serial number, but I was curious if anyone out there knows this guitar. What I do remember is that it weighed more than a new born blue whale calf.
Jerry Hayes, if you're reading this, this is one ofthe famous leisure suit "costumes" you referred to in one of your earlier emails. Wish I had a pic of Halloween when I wore it and added a pair of "nose glasses" to complete the costume.

| I had one that looked like it.Alan Hamel from the Fender custom shop chopped the C neck and turned it into a SD-10 3+4 and sunburst it,I sold it to Jerry Sherbon when I moved to Alaska....and Jerry?he can chime in from Austin..he went somewhere warmer,It's 12 below with the wind-chill today. |

Could it possibly be you got it from me? Say, late 70's when I got this Emmons (which I kept till the mid 90's when this was taken at Cheeseburger in Paradise, Lahaina with Scott Hendrickson from Barbies band)
Kathleen (my wife) was in Orange County today where it was 85....not so nice here, but then I think my protest falls on deaf ears.

Steve.......I wish you hadn't posted that picture! Now I'll never be able to remember you the way you were! Oh well, regarding that ZB, it was absolutely one of the best looking and sounding steels I've ever seen or heard and played like a dream. If I had it I might be tempted to go the D-10 route but then again, maybe not....JH in Va.
