Here is some video from the show I saw in '78 .On the second tune --about 1:50-- Al Perkins takes an extended solo playing country rock in the style he made famous {in my mind anyway }
BTW thanks Dave Zirbel for that link , I haven't seen those ones .

Works like a champ Brendan. Al at his best with his Burrito Bro. shirt and Gene Simmons hair do. I saw a pic of me in the 70s and had the same hair.

Seems like Al Perkins was doing what Robert Randolph is doing now 35 years ago on his ZB. He is an original who was way ahead of his time.

Al Perkins is probably why I play steel today .

Brendan, myself also. I just spoke with him a couple of days ago. He's going strong. He has inspired a whole generation of steel players.

That went fast. An original Zane Beck CZB guitar. What a sound!

It looked pretty nice and for $1500 seemed like a deal.

I tried to go take a look at it - it was sold in less than a day - the seller said Greg Jones had worked on it, and it was a 1968 ( I believe the s/n was 1126 ).

Well, if Greg worked on it, it should be great. Greg set up my 69 and it play and sounds super ... even in my hands.
Hopefully the lucky dog that got it is a member and will chime in!

For the holidays this year I convinced my wife to travel down to southern California & visit Jim Palenscar's shop. I've been trying to play pedal steel for less than 2 years, and it was such a BLAST to finally get to see and play all these different makes & models.
And well... here's what I came home with. Jim made sure it was set up & played well. I am a very happy camper!
Ser# 0560. Any idea when it was born?

Eric, welcome to the ZB club!!! Thats a nice looking guitar you just got. Dont have any invoice records after 1968 but going by the serial number puts yours in the 73' to 74' range. Built in Phoenix , Arizona.

Alright! Another ZB guy in Northern Ca!

Thanks Greg, it sounds great too. Well, at least when other people play it...
Dave, hope to meet you sometime when I travel inland away from the fog!
I was amazed that the short, stiff pedals on the ZB actually seem easier to me than others I played that were softer. The mechanics of this thing fascinate me about as much as the music. What fun!
