Leon Rhodes played in Ernest Tubbs backup band when it was one of the hottest bands in country music --featured Rhodes on guitar and Buddy Emmons on steel.

Dibs on that one when you decide to sell it.

Brent must have some backdoor pass to the factory and has been sifting through the saw dust to find this amp.

 

Must have amps on my mind... Meant guitar.. .Duh...

Posted

Yes, that is interesting.

The "Tele Guy" in me says NO, NO, stoptail bridge, input on the top of the guitar, 3-to-a-side tuners, non-slanted bridge pickup?!

 

The "Heritage Guy" in me says DAYUM, look at that killer finish, especially around the stinger! And I'll bet it plays as great as any other Heritage that has spoiled me! (all of 'em.) Cool find, Brent!

Posted

Brent, another amazing find!

 

You should open your own Heritage museum. Make sure it has a revolving front door...just to complete the metaphor. :icon_sunny:

WOW WOW WOW. I was gonna say that THAT one is for sure a keeper, but this is IS Brent after all so I'll just put it out there...Tulk, DIBS when YOU think about moving it.

 

That would be one that would go in the will the minute I brought it home.

Amazing Brent! Never heard of that one. Put me on the Dibbs list.
