TalismanRich Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 My dad got a new big screen TV last week, so he started pulling out his old VHS tapes to watch. So, when I stopped in yesterday, he was watching a tape of "Nashville Now" from the old TNN network. This was from 1991. Imagine my surprise when it goes to Hank Thompson. I look at the screen, see the headstock and say "That's a Heritage". Looked like a Super Eagle, and had his name in the fretboard like a true country picker is supposed to have! So for the next 30 minutes, I was looking to see what other "different" guitars I could see. Other than the normal Fenders and Gibson, I saw Mosrite which is odd, and what looked like a Benedetto. Anyway, it was cool seeing one on TV, even if it was 18 years later.
High Flying Bird Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 It was about the same year when a buddy called and said, "turn the channel to HeeHaw." There was Roy Clark playing a black 150 just like the one I owned. Mr. Walker told me that they had made 2 and Roy chose the other. I just thought it was the guy at the factory blowing smoke but there was Roy.......
Dick Seacup Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 That Hank Thompson was for sale not to long ago. Probably still a link in the FSTW or BW areas.

I liked the comment: " If my name were Hank Thompson, I'd be all over that"
jaywolfe Posted December 29, 2009 Posted December 29, 2009 "was watching a tape of "Nashville Now" from the old TNN network. This was from 1991." Nashville Great Fred Newell was a regular on that show, playing pedal steel & elec. Geetar. Fred's weapon of choice for most of that show was an Emerald Green Heritage H140 with a sequened green strap. Fred also owned a Golden Eagle and some others. He's a nice guy & monster player.
