Thanks for the info on its current whereabouts; BTW, here's a photo from the first Ed Sullivan appearance in February '64, clearly showing the Tele-style knobs:



There's also at least one shot from the mid-1963 "collarless-suit" days with the same configuration; TMK the stovetop knobs were replaced when the guitar was refinished, and if there are any photos showing them on the black/Bigsby/gold PG guitar I'd be very curious to see them...
