Very nice Chuck!

Thanks to all. I am still working on set up at this point and getting familiar with 11, it's better cause it's one more than 10. I met Al Perkins in Franklin a couple of weeks ago which inspired me to play steel again and he seemed to always have an 11 zb and do things I never heard steel players do. Russ this steel isn't as pretty as the red one but has a cool vibe.

I remember when this steel was in the Chicago area, then the east coast, then the west coast now it looks really nice.

Russ this steel has traveled more than I have.

Yes sir!

I actually went from Ca. to Ky then Ohio then NY back to Ohio and last to Jackson, Tn. It's been on tour.

Cleaned, de-greased, lubricated with Tri-flo, reassembled, and playing so smoothly. Now I have to tackle the other half!

Hi my name is mason im 21 i got my first pedal steel 3 months ago from bakersfield. Numbers 0315 dont know the year its a d-11 traded 66 ford truck. addicted to playing

Mason,

My guess is 1972-73 for your steel. I had #0212 and it was from 1971. Keep at it and you'll do great.

Russ

My #0330 is from 1972. Sounds like a good trade, except it's harder to haul a sheet of plywood in a pedal steel.

There is a SD10 on ebay - item # 260858526395

Found this searching ... Zane built ZB on the east coast: Greg says that it has had the tuners changed and probably two of the KLS were added as well as a newer logo, but you don't see too many come available and still have both necks! The asking price is $950

That is a REAL early ZB. 66-67.

Russ Tkac · Post by **Russ Tkac** » 9 Nov 2011 5:33 am

Kevin, might have your name on it?

Kevin Hatton · Post by **Kevin Hatton** » 9 Nov 2011 7:59 am

Russ, I have only seen two of these. One is owned by Harry Hatterer in York P.A. and is literally in mint condition. I worked on that guitar. The other was for sale at Billy Coopers. There were not many of these made and there are not many left. They sound fantastic.

Russ Tkac · Post by **Russ Tkac** » 9 Nov 2011 8:33 am

If only I had a few extra dollars ... such is life.

I agree with you about the sound.

Lack of cash has killed more good deals ...
