Willie Nelson's Guitar, 'Trigger'

The first to sign his guitar was Leon Russell

"In 1969, the Baldwin Company offered Nelson one of their 800C Classical Acoustic-Electrics, complete with a Prismatone pickup and amp. The Baldwin didn’t last long, however. After a 1969 concert at Floore’s Country Store in Helotes, Texas, a drunk man stepped on the instrument, causing serious damage. David Zettner and Jimmy Day, who were members of Nelson’s band The Record Men, took the guitar to Nashville luthier Shot Jackson, to see if he could resuscitate it. Jackson quickly pronounced the Baldwin D.O.A, but offered Nelson a Martin N-20 as a replacement. Nelson ultimately bought the instrument – made out of Brazilian rosewood with a Sitka spruce top – sight unseen for $750, on the condition that Jackson installed the pickup from the totaled Baldwin into it."​

Good afternoon Family :wave:
Another hot one here today, makes me wanna stay inside but too much garden work to do soo I guess it's not gonna do itself:facepalm:
I hope everyone is well and havin a great day:)
Don't over it do it, Jimi ! I know you drink PLENTY of water, but still, take many breaks, please :hug:
It made it up to 90, yesterday. Not even an hours time, the temp dropped to 70. Big thunderstorm and then rain passed through. Sounded so very wonderful. Actually could open the windows for the rest of day and through the night :bliss:
In Topeka it rained three inches in that hr. Not so fortunate here, only about an inch, but heck, can't complain much needed rain.
