Are you just interested in those currently being built or all of them? Those already mentionted are current and there's also Schild over there in the Swiss Alps. Great looking guitars.

Out of production models are Kline, Anapeg, Lamar that I can think of offhand.

BMI can build you a all pull Keyless like Cowboy Eddy Long plays.

An if you twist the Builder an owner of BMI steels::: Don can build you a keyless BMI
25 inch scale that lowers on one End an raises on the other End. This style BMI pushes too lower an pulls too raise.

There's a keyless Zum for sale in the classifieds. Is that an original guitar or had it been modified ? I'm not familiar enough with Zum to know for sure.
