My bid is still good, although I'm sure it will go higher before were done.

$500

This appears to be the current high bid.

i love it when one person swears one thing and another swears a different thing. i will be waiting for the final consensus, mainly to find out 'who really knew' as opposed to 'who was talking out of their ass'umption.

wouldn't the pedal rack have to be shortened if the body was?

perhaps the dehorning is a zb/specific type of max tone mod.

Sorry

Sorry folks. What was the quote about stooping to a level.

Let's get on with the discussion of the cool guitar auction now.

It's gotta sound great. I'll go $600.

Bobby Burns · Post by **Bobby Burns** » 30 Sep 2009 6:29 am

So is $600 the high bid so far? Or are there secret email bids that we don't know about also?

Hi Bobby, There are no hiden bids. Good luck

Hello Curt,

I have a question for you. I'm not bidding just yet
Are you related to Phil Jarvis the very fine Bass player from Des Moines?
A nice guy whom I worked with Fridays and Saturdays a few years ago at the old Terrace Inn with Karen Berka?
Love to hear from Phil and hope he is doing really well.
Thanks.

Loren

Bump for the last day.

Steve Hamill · Post by **Steve Hamill** » 6 Oct 2009 7:58 am

Since this guitar is going to need a thorough going over according to Kevin, what type of money are we talking about to get it playing right, and maybe how much for a complete re-build and refin. which is the way I would go if I were to win. If you don't wish to post it, some estimates by PM are welcome.
Thanks!

Geoff Cline · Post by **Geoff Cline** » 6 Oct 2009 9:38 am

It's going to be in the neighborhood of $2K to do it right (disassemble, evaluate, refin and rebuild). But it will be a wonderful instrument when its done.

Kevin Hatton · Post by **Kevin Hatton** » 6 Oct 2009 9:43 am

That number is correct. That would include a complete strip and refinish, metal, polish, and mechanics put back correctly. A new guitar.

Ben Elder · Post by **Ben Elder** » 6 Oct 2009 12:29 pm

How much of that is the refin? (An unimportant component to my taste.)

Post by **b0b** » 6 Oct 2009 1:35 pm

Today's the last day, right?

Duncan Hodge · Post by **Duncan Hodge** » 6 Oct 2009 2:14 pm

Hey Pete, if you win can I buy your old ZB...y'know, old #9? You probably don't need two ZBs, right? Let me know what you think, I'll send b0b a really nice donation.
Have a nice night everybody.
Duncan

Hey Duncan, I have old number 8 you can buy. Come on guys, this is a benefit. I'll go 650.

Kevin Hatton · Post by **Kevin Hatton** » 6 Oct 2009 2:27 pm

I would not take that project without a refinish.

Curt Jarvis · Post by **Curt Jarvis** » 6 Oct 2009 3:34 pm

Hi Guys, This is the agreed time to close. Thank you Bob Hamilton for your bid of 650 . Please contact me through my e-mail pedalsteel1@peoplepc.com and we will get ZB to you. Thanks to Kevin and Gregg and Bob for helping us out with putting a value on the Guitar and sharing some knowledge with us. Thanks to the Forum and it's members for giving us a place to be heard.

Duncan Hodge · Post by **Duncan Hodge** » 6 Oct 2009 4:11 pm

And thank to you Curt. That was a very generous gift you made to our community. I hope that Bob H. enjoys the ZB, and from my communications I've had with Bob, I'm sure that he will. He's one of the good guys.
Duncan

Bobby Burns · Post by **Bobby Burns** » 6 Oct 2009 4:54 pm

I'm Happy for you Bob. I have had to tell myself over and over "I don't Need another project! I don't need another project! I really don't need another project". If I had thought there was any way it would have gone this low, I'd have bid higher. I may have only made you pay more if I had.

Take some after pics for us when you get it done next week! Just kidding about the next week part. I hope you live long enough to finish this project. My pile is getting large enough I'm wondering how many of mine I'll finish.

Sorry for rambling, I'm just trying to console myself. I really did not need another ZB project.

Bob Hamilton · Post by **Bob Hamilton** » 6 Oct 2009 5:52 pm

Thanks Duncan and Bobby, I was really just trying to get a little more money for B0B, but heck, I'll surely take it for that amount. This will make 5 ZBs for me, anyone in the market for one that's finished? I need to free up some space for #1062. I will post pics of the guitar during the process, which I will probably not start until #1060 is done.
