Just thought I'd post this picture and give a great big thanks to Mr. Billy Knowles. I was fortunate enough to acquire the Late Pee Wee Rogers' black D-10 PP. (Thanks also to Gary Roberts)
Had to change some pulls around and added a vertical and raised it up an inch. (Pee Wee's nick name had some merit I suppose! Smile ) What a great guitar! It had been played but taken care of, having spent many an hour on the Opry Stage. Billy has brought it back to perfection, indeed honored to give it some stage time! 73' PP, originally purchase by Rick Price and later acquired by George "Pee Wee" Rogers.
Thank you Brother Billy Knowles.

Here is a photo of George at Pee Wee's guitar. It was great having George down, wish he could have stayed longer but he was a long way from home, Vermont.

Did TB generally use an Emmons volume pedal on his ZB guitars?

That is a beautiful guitar and Billy's work is outstanding on anything he touches. I don't own a P/P but, if I ever got one, Billy is who I would send it too.

Jack, Tom Brumley almost always used ZB volume pedals, which he had a bunch of.
