I saw Marty's guitar the other day and there's a round "knob"
by high E side of the bridge plate.
I have slightest idea what that knob does( or don't :mrgreen: )

its a little "E" bender Marty and Moon thought up. The late great Duane Marrs did all the work on it. You push down on the little plunger and it drops the "E" string down to wiggle mode like one of Moons signature moves

This is THE guitar I'm longing for....I'd have to sell a lot of stuff to get it, though....:( Being disabled/unable to work a day job doesn't help my situation, either....

Are you referring to Andy's build here? if so, then...no, it does not have the low/high Keith E pegs.

Cool picture!! I'd love to have that guitar strap that he's got on there!! It's from his Fender Signature Tele that he got way back in the 2000s. I don't know if the Fender Custom Shop would make me one or not.....

Actually, Mike, the E-bender raises the E string up a whole tone. Here's a video from YouTube to prove that:
