absolutely the truth.


Willie Nelson's "Trigger" is a classical guitar with no pickguard that he's been playing with a pick and gut strings (at least sometimes) over 50 years and typically showers the crowd with shards of wood from it.

an unaccomplished player could made a $5k guitar sound terrible.


I don't know about all that, but I can make $1500 to $2000 guitars sound downright awful.

true, but tbf, it's a martin n-20, only nylon martin ever made, and it wasn't cheap

quote:

[in 1968] Nelson bought the modified Martin N-20 unseen, for $750 (equivalent to $6,000 in 2022).


he's also had a luthier maintain/repair it at least once a year since 1977
