It has been about 8 years since I sold my Zumsteel D10 that Bruce built for me in 1995. I still regret selling it, but thats another story. I got a used Stage One about 2 weeks ago and am still in love with that steel...I simply cant believe how good it sounds and how easy it plays. It really inspires me to play a lot. I am wondering if my memory has slipped a bit, but my thought is that if a Stage One sounds this good, how much better that old Zumsteel must have sounded, or maybe it was about the same ? I wouldnt think so really. I dont see how anyone could go wrong with purchasing one of these, new or used !

| I got my Stage One in 2010 after decades of not playing steel. It was a great guitar to re-learn on. I had a project guitar that I was ignoring (because I loved the Stage One so much) so I ended up selling my Stage One to a young man, thinking that would force me to finish the project guitar. Yeah it did but I still think about that fine Stage One. What a wonderful guitar! |

| Awesome guitars and Doug was great to deal with. I am not a player but the roadie of my son and when he had one it stayed in tune, sounded great, easy to play and very solid. |

Zums are about the best sounding all pull guitars there are. I am sorry I sold my D-10.

| I got mine 4 years ago the 7th, and love it. Since it's my first steel I can't compare it to any others, but will say I'm happy as can be with it. |

What pickup did you guy's opt for. I went for the truetone.
Any of you try both the truetone and the humbucker in the same guitar? |

Got a Zum Encore ordered myself and I can't wait.The weight is going to be nice too along with the sound of the Zum.I play a double neck steel so this would be nice for times when I don't need Double.
