This is the updated version of the guitar that I used to stock in the late 1980s and through the 1990s, until Bruce Zumsteg was too busy building his Zumsteel professional guitars and had no time to manufacture the Stage One.  The new manufacturer, Doug Earnest, has made several excellent improvements (see features, above).  The tone and playability are as good as any pro steel I've played!  It's termed a "student" guitar, purely because the copedant can't be altered easily (no bell-cranks, etc.).  It comes with an Emmons set-up.

GREAT TONE!  FANTASTIC VALUE!  A SUPER STEEL!
BUT, don't just take my word for it!  Read what Nashville session player, Michael Douchette posted  on the Steel Guitar Forum, on 31 July 2010: "Over the years, I've had a Franklin, several push-pull Emmons' and several Sho-Buds.  (Living here in Nashville, that's kinda what was here).  Hands down, the BEST recording guitar I've ever owned is my Zum Stage One.  It has the best presence in a track over any of them; and for me, that is most important."
 Put aside all preconceptions you may have about "student" guitars - this is a "pro" in all ways but one (see above)!
