I always thought the last note on Hey Good Looking was a slant. That's the only way I've found to play it. |

sorry for resurrecting this
this makes a little more sense that I had a family member that dated Hank (I live in Virginia)
Also would e13 be ok too? |

I went back and looked in Don's book, SETTIN' THE WOODS ON FIRE, Copyright 2005, regarding purchase details of his famous GIBSON CONSOLE GRANDE. On page 124, he gives details of his purchase of Ol' Red. He states that they were doing a big weekend show at the Hippodrome Theatre in Baltimore where he finalized the purchase for $100, plus his double 8 string Fender.
