I know Trigger was in hiding for a while when the taxman was after Willie.
There is something about a well worn in guitar. A lot of people are into the relic thing nowadays, where you buy a new guitar that has been "aged". I think that's bulls**t.
My dad's main guitar was a 70's Aria acoustic, scored it off a heroin dealer for $75. he wore that thing down to the point where he had to fill the bridge cracks with JB Weld to keep it playable. He'd never take it to a luthier. I have the guitar and I can't play it. The frets are flat, the neck is warped and there's a hole worn through the top from a pick. Yet he could make that thing sing.
My stepmom bought him a nice Martin a few years before he died, but the Aria sounded better. I dont intend on fixing the guitar. I might get it re-fretted, but thats about it.
When it was sorta new...
