| After reading Bruce's book, I'm thinking of ordering one of these. My old 60s steels are getting too heavy to move around as I move into my 70s. |

| Just out of curiosity, how would you guys describe/categorize the tone of a Zum? |

Roughly the same as the other modern steels

I cant speak for the Encore, but I have a Stage One and the minute I got it home and plugged it in, I was amazed at the great sounds that come out of it...not me, mind you, but the steel itself. I think they are a wonderful guitar...great pedal action, smooth and easy, stays in tune . Highly recommend them to anyone.

Received my new Blue Zum Encore today! it was definitely worth the 4 month wait for this guitar!! Absolutely in love with it! Doug was GREAT to work with too and communicated with me on a regular basis while he was building my guitar! Best "bang for the buck" too IMO! Thanks Doug!!

It was almost two years ago that I rec'd my Zum Encore from Doug...Shortly after,some priorities changed & I didn't have it very long.I just sent Doug my check for Encore #2 & can't wait for it to get here.As with the one in the picture,I got it mainly for the kittie to enjoy,but I think I'll probably be using it regularly @ church.This time around,after a lot of thought,I opted for red instead of black.It was a tough decision though.I love black guitars(black Emmons,black Tele & a black Strat)also love the woodgrain & blue mica.Thought,"hmmm should I go with a black top,woodgrain front apron & blue or red rear apron" but Doug,cat & wife talked me out of that (& no,I wasn't really considering that)....The weight reduction will be nice(I've lost ten lbs myself & this Encore should get me to my goal)

Bob congratulations on your new Encore...I know you are going to love it ! The wait (weight, haha) will be worth it ! My Stage One is a great steel and I am sure the Encore is even better ! Enjoy !

New Encore arrived last Thursday afternoon....just in time to unpack it & get to work.Played it Sunday AM @ our church service.Did'nt have much time to get accustomed to it beforehand as Friday & Saturday were really busy days, but it sounded great.....@ least that's I heard from all the band members & a bunch of folks that were there.My sister has heard every steel that I've ever owned & absolutely loved what she heard.So did I.Thanks Doug....& thank you too,understanding wife!!!
