Willie Nelson should be strung up for what he has done to that poor beat up Martin he abuses...and plays horribly.

Willie's guitar is battle scarred from a lifetime hard playing. I think it's a testament to the quality of the product that he still uses it in it's dilapidated condition.

How many of us have ever worn a hole in the soundboard with our pinkie and fourth finger?

Willie’s a great guitar player. His improvisations are incredibly melodic, and he plays with unmatched feel.

I’d love to find an original Martin N-20 (Willie’s “Trigger”), but they’re very rare. Martin made an exact copy of “Trigger” (with Brazilian rosewood back and sides and all) about 10 years ago for a short run, but it was a bit too pricey — around $7000, IIRC.
