Jory, she's very pretty. and yes, such slender pedals.
here's your pic:

I noticed your pedal train (stomp boxes) looks like you have a Tubescreamer. I have one that was modified. I love that pedal. but it doesnt like mmy pedal steel. all for the better.[This message was edited by Randy Reeves on 29 March 2006 at 02:41 PM.]

Thanks Randy for posting that Pic of my new "Blonde" Its really sweet! ( I have an understanding Wife!!!!!!!!). No tube screamer....its a turbo overdrive, and I actually use it a few times a night...plus I play my Tele out of the same rig a few songs a night. My other pedals are a Bobby Bro, stereo Chorus, Phase shifter( for Waylon) and an EQ( cause My nash 112 hates my Tele!!!!!!!)...and I run through a lexicon MPX 100...all in all a fine rig with My '81 P/P D10 in front of it all!

Yup, early 80's I'd say. Short body, narrow pedals,straight levers, no Gumby keyhead. SuperPro undercarriage & changer, I'll bet.
Nice gtr...

I've been playin my Emmons p/p D10 for 25 years and I never had a Sho-bud before..but this thing looks like it never went out of the house. The case looks new, yet it is the original. The paperwork was still in the case and (it) says Kustom-Gretsh,Chanute KS, but says it was was built at the Sho-bud factory in Nashville. I wouldn't know a super pro under-carriage from a spinner bait.....BUT...It has Hex cross shafts and Five-Hole bell cranks. The pull rods attach to the bell cranks with spring clips. 4 knee levers factory intstalled. Theres hardly a mark on it and I have to thank James Heady for selling it to me, and Danny Hillihen for recomending That I buy it! You guys are the Best! JD
