I bought a brand new blue ZB D10 that I wrongly called a Zed Bee at first, and Eric got it in his shop a few weeks after Gordon's arrived. The blue of that guitar would have been vegetable colouring, and from memory it was a darker blue than the lovely pantone colour that you refinished Gordon's old guitar in. I didn't take any colour photos of my ZB - all black and white I'm afraid. I remember that it had beautiful birds-eye maple. It was damaged by a careless bloke in a social club that I played in, so I ordered a replacement custom sunburst guitar through Eric that Zane made specially for me. It was a beauty, but didn't quite have that Nashville tone that was popular at the time. A couple of years later, and Johnny Edmed made me an offer I couldn't refuse and gave me a D10 Pro 111 Custom Sho~Bud in order to promote it. John also bought the blue ZB from me.
Frank's refurbed Huntley guitar is a stunner.
All ZB guitars that entered the UK were imported solely by Eric, and the one below would have been one of Eric's imports. Most UK ZBs ran through Gordon's hands at Eric's shop first and any that weren't already done were reconfigured to the 'Day' pedal and lever setup before being sold on by the various agents. Eric had several Student ZBs when he decided to pull the plug on importing ZB because the ZB brand had ceased to be manufactured in the States. There must be a good few of those Student guitars under beds or in sheds to this day. Eric later bought the odd SD10 Legrande Emmons guitar from the infamous Ron Lashley Jnr, who went out of business after failing to comply with orders.
