Boys I need help. I bought beautiful Zum single neck and I never noticed until opened the case that this thing has a Push-pull changer, somewhat like the old Emmons changer. I've had 3 or 4 Emmons in my playing life but I can"t remember how they tuned up. any ideas on where to start? I live within 100 miles of Bruce but could'nt get through on the telephone. Anything you can come up with will be greatly appreciated. thanks. Lee

Leland,
How old is the guitar?
If it is from the early 80's, it might be a pull release setup. I believe Bruce used this system before the all pull.

Erv; I was just looking for a serial number (and could'nt find one) and noticed that it is indeed a pull-release system. I just got and email from an old friend in North Dakota and he's sending me the original tuning instructions that go with this guitar so I guess I'm OK> Thanks Paddy and Erv for your input. Lee

Leland,
Bruce is usually very reachable by phone, it's in his shop, not his house so call during normal central time business hours and you should be able to reach him. He is a great guy and it doesn't matter how old the guitar is he will be very helpful. Good luck, I know Bruce used this system on his stage one model, wasn't aware that he used it in his early guitars

Hey Leland , I would love to see some pix of this Zum , is it on a single body ? Seems not many makers do true S10 guitars but will just build a single neck on a D10 body .
