This guitar is absolutly the best playing guitar I've ever sit down to. The tone is excelent and the rosewood, beechwood combination is something else to look at. All I'm going to do add three knee levers to the C6th neck. Bruce is winning over alot of us old Emmons players. This will not be my last Zum! I wish there was a Zumsteel chatroom. This is a great site! Please visit my website @ www.freewebs.com/steelguitarmusic/

This Guitar, Pedal 4 is dual purpose. Just like Right Knees, E9 & C6. This guitar was the first one with Patriot Blue. I did the research in the internet and came up with the color. I paid extra for the laminate but I wanted blue. For me, it was worth it. I love the guitar and the color.
