Really nice Marvin. Do you know who owns this Dodd guitar?
Both my Emmons are 8&9. Had a passing thought about splitting the RKR but did not know why.

Posted 28 Dec 2010 6:12 pm I like the dual knee levers on the rkr

If I had it to do over again I would have that. Bruce talked me out of it and it is fine. But I use it a lot and really see the wisdom in Tommy's choice to have it built like that.

But now it's mine... 
It's an amazing guitar!!! It sounds great and plays so smooth.
I'm proud to enter into the Zum owners' family!
Grazie Ferdinando, you're such a nice person to deal with.... |

I tell ya, I bought a one of a kind Zum, 8 levers, 5 pedals, I won't say who I bought it from out of respect of the previous owner.
All I can say is it's the best sounding and functional steel I've ever played. I'm in heaven!!!

Billy just wasn't playing any C6th and felt that it was a waste. He does have a very nice SD10 Zum that helps take away some of the pain of selling this one.
The guitar is an early model, made in 1980. The engineering is so good for the time, its no wonder that Mr Zumsteg is held in such high regard. Tonally it is very nice, but I still have to place my push-pull in front of it for tone.

Chris, great thread, beautiful guitars, i also enjoy your dry, witty, sense of humour, a bit like mine  A bit of controversy is always enjoyable.
Are Zum's still being made??

I've finally solved (!!!) the age-old question: "Which sounds better, a black guitar or a white guitar?"
Black 2002 Zum U-12, 8 & 5, Trutone
White 2007 Zum U-12, 8&5, Trutone
Hilton pedal
Webb 614-e
Bruce and I are the only ones who know the answer...unfortunately, I have been sworn to secrecy!javascript:emoticon('')

| I didn't know about the red burl when I got my SD10 hybrid. That's really nice. Mines a looker with the Blackstone and chrome pin stripes and logos, but it needs good lighting to shine. That red burl shines on it's own. |

Billy has told me of the guitar's previous heritage. I hope to do it justice. It is in good condition for a 31 year old instrument.

Roger, you're a funny dude. I still remember that steel guitar song you wrote. I hope I get to see you sing it again some day. Might see you at Snyder,Tx if ya'll go there again this year.
(At least they were kind enough not to use the used stuff to wrap your guitar). |

Chinese women prefer Zumsteels, particulary red ones, possibly because it's the color of their national flag. steve t
