Ron,

I first posted a comment that I thought that two different knobs may have been used. I am now not sure. After posting I looked at the guitar and I now think they may have been replacements. Not sure.

Mitch: After looking at the picture I think it is. I purchased the guitar from Mr. Isaacs several years ago. I was living in Cambodia at the time and flew into Las Vegas, met my brother and we drove to Yuma to pick it up. We had a very enjoyable afternoon visiting with Bud and Geri. Bud was really a...

I apologize for the off topic from the original post. I thought long and hard about should I or shouldn’t I post it. Because of the original post coming from an Indianapolis musician and the comment from Jack I went ahead and posted it. With hindsight maybe I should have sent a PM to Jack instead....
