Tom Brumley, The day he received his restored,"I Sang Dixie" guitar back.
Just received my black 83 (I Sang Dixie) ZB guitar back after sending it to Billy Knowles to have him go through it and redo it. Thanks Billy, for doing such a great job on it.
It looks just beautiful and plays even better than it did when it was brand new. What a terrific job, Billy, thank you so much. - Tom Brumley

Billy Knowles is the most Emmons savvy mechanic I know. I believe he could disassemble and put one back together blindfolded. I was in awe of how meticulous he was in working on the changer of my LeGrande. - Clyde Mattocks
