Recently added a Zum D10, a Mullen RP, and a restored blue Rose, named the "Blue Bird" to the herd. Also, I have acquired and restored the plexiglass D10 MSA Classic again that was built as a demo in the early '70s. I also added a '74 lacquer P/P, with wood necks. |

Here's a picture of my Zumsteel Keyless. As far as I know, this is the only keyless that was designed and built by Bruce Z. himself. And, after he completed this guitar he swore he would never build another because of the labor involved in machining the keyless tuning system he designed for this project. I begged Bruce for years (after getting this guitar) to build me a D10 but he was adamant. At least I got an original keyless from the master!

Two inches over standard, Jeff. same as my Carter and Emmons.
I suspect it's an optical illusion due to the shorter body length. |

Wow, a keyless Zum, didn't know there was such an animal. Very nice Tommy.
I converted a D-10 Zum to keyless one time years ago. The keyless tuners I had fit the same holes as the original or I wouldn't have done it. Made it play even better and didn't effect the tone as far as I could tell. It also left room at end of tuner to sit your beer, LOL.
I later put original keyheads back on.

| Henry, I think that is a Whitney built by Paul Redmond. Paul knows how to build them as well as being a top-notch steel-repairman. stevet |

The blue ZUM belongs to Jay Jessup. It was shortened by 5.104" and the keyless tuning system added.

| Hey George,,,,GREAT bunch of pics!!!! and great pic of "'da man",,and his guitar,,( my Lamar is the 9th pic down,,,need to put the decal back on it,,,but I like the looks without it),,,those pics represent (to me) the masterpieces of the steel guitar industry!!! I have to say, I like the looks of your Whitney better than the OnTrac,,,but then, I've never seen either one of them "in person",,,,Your guitar is a real impressive eye catcher,,, |

| ...seen, heard, played __ still not good enough reason to omit the key-head when building a steel guitar; unless, the purchaser requests keyless. |

My 1994 Schild. Today's Schilds have a shorter tuning head while keeping the full length of the body to accommodate a "0" pedal.

ME---Do a search for Z chop job if you want more info in it as it sits in the that pic. I played it that way for about 5 years but recently had Paul Redmond convert it to extended E9 with an alumitone pup on it.
