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.
