I bought Zum. It might be an Emmons "pretender," but I liked it better than the Emmons's I tried.
it's all so subjective,

I might have bought Mullen, Fessenden and likely have been as pleased with construction issues,feel, and sound.

If I had unlimited funds I would likely love an anapeg;I have not gotten to play one.yet.

but as I have posted before, I LOVE my Zum.

Talk about a "Bigsby" Leo has something here
that looked like a piano rubbed finish as the
body was "walnut". I played it.

Iam not at liberty to disclose where this guitar is, as it does exist today,,but is in the possesion of someone very close to him.

If I go to the Namm show which I doubt I will
call the person who has this beauty and ask if she would consider selling it to me.

Now that would really be the icing on my cake
wouldnt it?. I have held this information back,,,but I cannot disclose the whereabouts
of this guitar.

I will post any further information as it becomes available, The Spirit of Leo rides again.

I know players, who start with a worn-out guitar, that doesn't stay in tune, or play very heavy or.... who improve when they have a new machine.

I know players, who always like to play what their idols play, if their idols change brands, or start playing a U 12, or have a new change, they feel they need it too...

I know players, who try to reach a sound they have in their head, but try to archieve it for a life-time, and always stay unsatisfied 'cause they never seem to find it, always looking for the holy grail

I know players, who are satisfied with the sound and possibilities they have, and always try something else, maybe to prove to themselves they already have the right thing.
(Like going for a test-drive in a LADA, and then leave the carsale very satisfied in their own Mercedes )They already found their grail

I know players, who have their sound in their head, but don't have the money to buy that peticular guitar, and go for a guitar that "has almost the same sound as" a ....

maybe a can find more groups....

food for thoughts, and to me:
The guitar is as good, or as bad, as the player...
Food tastes as good as the cook that prepares it, That's why players like Billy Phelps always sound like a hors 'd ouvre and I like a sac of Dutch potatoes
