JeffB Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Theres some real nice stuff amongst the lots. I liked this paragraph Lot Notes After damage to his 1957 Gibson Super 400 Hank Thompson approached The Heritage Guitar Company in Kalamazoo, Michigan to undertake the restoration of the neck. Declining to work on another manufacture's guitar the craftsmen at the Heritage shop offered to make Thompson a guitar using his specifications on a gratis basis. The ensuing instrument, based on the outline of a Super 400, became a prominent guitar Thompson would use while performing at the end of his career.

Poelbaum Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 yeah? .... So who is Hank Thompson?... And what ... he played the whammy bar with his nose or something...? Well, according to his website, the deceased Hank Thompson was the "King of Western Swing" but as I understand it, he played both kinds of music : Country and Western.
