...about Willie Nelson and his legendary "Trigger" guitar

Willie Nelson is an iconic figure in country music (more precisely, outlaw country).
I've always been intrigued by this amazing guitar, which he's been playing almost exclusively since the '70s.
This guitar, an acoustic nylon, has a scratched soundboard (in fact signed by a hundred of his friends) and is pierced near the rosette by repeated mediator strokes.

In fact, this "rotten" guitar is a Martin N 20 accoustic, nylon but with a Prismatone pickup.
Martin produced a Willie Nelson signature model in 1998...there's a second-hand model for sale on the Internet at 27909 Euros...

Lovely cover, guys. The accordion and slide guitar surround me. That's JP on accordion? Not some BIAB player? It sounds wonderful. The vocal inflections are classic. I like the gritty bass tone too.

hey hey, ...No Ted it's not me on the accordion..in fact it's a 'Usertrack' in Band in a box jargon, there are 'realtracks' which are played by real musicians, usually Nashville studio 'bigwigs'...and Usertracks which are tracks 'made' by Band in a Box users who sample their instruments...

...my dream would be to have a bandoneon (but I've stopped dreaming about instruments, my wife doesn't agree after 22 guitars in my attic, she thinks that's enough!)
