Hello,

I recently came across a 1975 ZB custom S11 with 5 pedals and 4 knees. Anyone think its worth buying (he's selling it cheap)? I don't know much about ZBs.

They're wonderful instruments, but they are hard to work on. If the copedent isn't what you like, be prepared to spend some time figuring out how to change it.

IMHO the ZB guitars have a tone to them that just outshines all others. I own 2 Emmons push/pulls and two ZB's as well as a Zum. They all are great, but one of the ZBs is just incredible as far as tone. Like bOb said, they are kinda hard to work on, and the play-ability leaves a bit to be desired, but it's a trade-off situation because the tone is so good. If you can get it for a good price (< $800.00 IMO), I would do it.

If you are by chance into C6th playing, an eleven string , 5+4 would be perfect. Buy it or please email me. Thank you. Don
