Difference between '14 and '15 ZM?

[Jomolungma]

The PRS website says there's an "all-new" Zach Myers for 2015, but the description is exactly the same as that on store websites that are selling the 2014 model. The only difference is the year mentioned. So, was the ZM changed between 2014 and 2015? I just bought one online, but then realized the description said it was the 2014 version. I'm pretty sure that's the version I've played in stores, but if they are the exact same how would I even know? So, does anyone know if there's a difference? Thanks!

There is an earlier ZM -- it's nothing like the current ZM. Solid body, 3 humbuckers...don't know when they changed, though, I thought they were older than 2014...perhaps they just copied the description from year to year, and that was the description that was written when they first changed it over.

Would they be referencing the adjustable bridge? Doesn't the newest iteration come with one? Not sure if the earlier ones did.

Bodia...FYI...the early ZM's did have an adjustable bridge. I got one for my kid and they were a bit awkward to restring, so I put on the non-adjust wrap-around and it works great.

Got it! Thanks!

I think they did change to a different adjustable bridge at some point. I heard they had some issues with the production of the first adjustable bridges for the ZM. Other than that, the only difference that I know of is they added Vintage Sunburst as a color in 2015.

I heard directly from a PRS employee via email. He said they switched from three to two pickups in 14. Since that switch, they haven't changed it. So the '14 model and the '15 model are the same. A bit confusing in their promo material, but that's what I heard. Contents of e-mail below:

"Thanks for contacting PRS Guitars.
We did start changing over from the 3 pickup ZM version to the current F hole version in 2014. If the guitar you are looking at is the same as the 2015 model there has been no changes"
