Trigger
Just a small thing... where is the trigger in this picture? I can't see it?
Sorry Anna - I was being a little obtuse there ( not unusual for me !)
Trigger is the name of the guitar Willie Nelson has played for the last 52 years - because of it's provenance it's become quite famous, and has even been hidden to prevent it being
seized by the IRS.
Since 1969, Willie Nelson has played one guitar, and one guitar only - a Martin N-20 (4-20?) he named Trigger after Roy Rogers' horse. "I figured," Nelson told Dallas Monthly in 2012, "this is my horse."
The acoustic model is not only famous for the longevity of it and its owner (Nelson turned 86 on April 29), but for the second gaping hole created over the years by the sheer force of Nelson's playing. It also has been autographed by many friends; some are more visible than others.
The article explains how the guitar has been maintained for the last 45 years - thanks, in large part, to Austin guitar repairman Mark Erlewine, who reconditions Trigger twice a year. About the hole, he notes, "I always thought it enhanced the sound."
"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." George Santayana
