Thank Richard for your help, just had a look under the guitar and the rod is there ,the hex nut is missing so maybe i can get one made ,it looks as if it would have to be longer then the ones that are on the guitar for the normal pulls. as i asked in my last post above where can i get the slot on for the string changer , it's the thing where the string comes the bridge , it's round with a square cut out to slot on to the top of the finger.
thanks again..
thanks again..

Here are a few photos of my new old ZB D10 8+4
i bought this guitar back in 1980 and sold it the same year, as i live in spain but still come to the uk i was looking for a second steel, i found the guy who bought it from me and asked if he still had it , yes it's still in the loft he said , I never got around to opening the case . i asked if wanted to sell it , yes he said it might need new strings. LOL. so i bought it. When i got it home and opened the case i was amazed at the condition of the guitar , colour was great no fade and everything was just as i sold it ,The body has no damage , the strings on the front neck had broken but the back neck still had it,s strings and to my amazement still in tune i was able to play a tune on it, must say something about the ZB guitar. i have given a quick clean and changed the strings , the pedal action is quite good but as i play a sho bud this felt a little stiffer. the only trouble is now i want to take it back to Spain so i'm back to where i started....

Hi, Any necks or changers for sale? I have a Keyhead and Changer / Pickup mount and would like to compleate the package. Also, what was the string lenght on these ZB guitars?<font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by Fred Bova on 13 November 2006 at 11:38 PM.]</p></FONT>

Hi Stephen:
Thanks for sharing the picture. Great looking ZB; you don't see that many with the shiny trim, most I've seen are with the plain (but pretty) wood trim.
Like the shirt, too. Groovalicious. If you're ever up in San Francisco, give me a holler and I'll be happy to show you a ZB or two here at the house.
ZBest,
Larry

Paul. If your changing set-ups the ZB mechanics are a challenge but when it's balanced and tuned man my D10 stays in tune
better than any steel I have ever owned and
sounds like butter.Russ we must have had the
same idea at the same time. When I was routed
back to the thread your post had said it better.<font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by Chuck McGill on 17 November 2006 at 06:32 AM.]</p></FONT>
