The Steel Guitar Forum

Newbie here. Though I just purchased a cheap lap steel from auction site, I am intrigued by a Zane Beck Custom that I found ,Two necks,2 knee levers and 8 pedals. Can anyone ball park a price for me. and any other info ? Thanks

I have no idea what the true market value might be but I do believe that I'd swap my front seat in hell for that sweetheart..

Recent examples are in the mid-teens (I know from wistful experience as a seller of a D-11) unless they're in finely-tuned playing condition (fat chance if they haven't been actively played and maintained. Mine was in decent playing condition, actually.) They need expert hands to get them right and someone will eventually want at least two more knee levers, so figure on spending at least low-to-high hundreds getting it serviceable. Not to exclude several psgeniuses hereabouts, but the ranking wizards for old ZBs here on the Forum are B Greg Jones, Kevin Hatton and Billy Knowles.

According to EBAY...this same steel is worth $810 as of right now...are you seller and selling it here too?

Sorry for the confusion No I am not the seller. I was trying to find out opinions on price !
Thanks

$1250 tops. It needs two more knee levers and undoubtably a setup. Never saw a used one that didn't go through a ZB mechanic that played properly.
Once they are set up properly they play great. Key word is "properly". I've seen many that were messed up.

If you are interested in ZB take a wade through this post :http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/viewtopi ... light=help
