What was Hank's electric guitar? I say it was probably a Gibson Super 400, but my buddy disagrees. He won't commit totally, but he says most of the players back then played Gretsches. / I heard him pickin' Wildwood Flower this morning and I swear I heard P90's at work. Anyone enlighten me? ",
"[#13] I don't ever remember seeing Hank Thompson, or even a picture of him, with a Gretsch. All he ever played were Gibson/Bisgby guitars then Heritage guitars (made by all the old guys that built and worked on his Gibson guitars in Kalamazoo), and a few custom built guitars. / His estate auctioned off all of his guitars, cloths, and other personal items at Christies in December of 2009.- Hank's 1948 Gibson/Bigsby J-200 sold for $25,000: [image 1]
