Good luck with that. Celebrity origins do not always make a playable instrument.
I played the 70's 'Skull & Crossbones' 5 string guitar -- made I thought TN Jones, but probably actually by Zemaitis.
It was a dog.
A horrible lumpy instrument. (Loathed by Alan Rogan too, who was as good a judge as anyone).
After languishing for decades it perished I believe,in a fire in LA - which was a mercy. Keith always seems to have been fortunate where Fire and, e.g., Domestic Remodeling are concerned...

I don't know what you played, but the original Zemaitis guitars I have played were fantastic to play, and in fact part of what makes the guitars so desirable. The electronics are often so-so, but the combination of the wide and flat neck with a fabulous compound neck make them absolutely play like butter.
