Looks like a pretty clean machine to me, Ken. Congrats on a job well done. Good looking steel, too....but then, it IS a ZB, isn't it?

Ken, I'm not sure that ZBs are able to live and thrive in the Washington climate. I have found that they do much better in the oppressive heat and humidity of Central Florida. So, for the good of your ZB, you should immediately box it up and send it directly to me. All kidding aside, that is one beautiful ZB.
Oh, and my wife, who went to WAZZU says "Go Cougs"

Thank you guys I really appreciate your input, this ZB has very good intonation and is surprising to me how much this affects the playability... Plus it’s mighty Purtifull in a melodious and harmonious way.
The Case has a faded out name on it that says
Dave L**insbury but the first 3-4 letters of the last name are kinda fuzzy, they have been painted over and are hard to make out
I was crying as I bought a bus ticket for it and sent it on down to Duncan Hodge.. I hopes it can find its way down to Floradale Arizonisota Michigan where Mr.Duncan lives.

Heck Ken, I could have saved you a bundle on a bus ticket. You could have put it on a bus to Shelton, WA. My father in law lives on Mason Lake right near there. In any event, I'll just start waiting at the bus station in DeLand for it to show up. Thanks again for your generosity.
