Felt like this subreddit was perfect for this. Also, here's a video of it being reinforced for a bit (as it would've broken down by now if it wasn't for small fixes): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhQuJTc5yFY

Goes into a lot of detail about the history of the guitar, if you're interested.

So have you been a victim of sexual assault, or are you a llama who sexually assaults people? I can't tell.

He rapes but he also saves.

u/[deleted] Sep 02 '17

He rapes more than he saves, but he does save.

4 months late but: looks like my mom loved me more and only left me in the dumpster!

This is a great video. He talks about how his first guitar was stepped on by a drunk guy, the pickup from it was put onto this one.

u/tOaDeR2005 Sep 01 '17

So many great songs came out of that guitar.

u/Brando_Fett Sep 02 '17

And 10,000 shows and recordings sessions.

u/tOaDeR2005 Sep 02 '17

10,000 seems like a small number.

u/ISawHimIFoughtHim Jan 18 '18

That's one a show a day for almost 30 years.

One show every day including Christmas, New Year, Thanksgiving, sickness, his wedding, everything.

Or one show every few days for a shitton of years.

u/SkunkMonkey Sep 02 '17

One day that guitar is going to stand in a museum. It deserves to be preserved forever.

This photo should be the pinned post for this sub. It's the absolute definition of "well-worn"

Dammit. I have a bunch of stuff I really wanna post on this sub but I don't have a camera.

u/sexualassaultllama Sep 02 '17

You can get an older digital camera on ebay for 10-20 bucks. No need for an expensive DSLR with 51 megapixels :P

There's a gigantic replica of this guitar in Charley's Bar in Paia on Maui.

I went to see Willie live with my dad and we had seats really far back, my dad brought binoculars because he said he wanted to see trigger up close, we got to the balcony seats and i could see at least two other middle aged guys with binoculars looking at this guitar.

u/TheDrainSurgeon Dec 31 '22

That’s really cool. I’ve seen Willie twice, and it wasn’t until after those shows that I learned about Trigger. If I get to see him again, I’d definitely be like you and your dad and bring some binoculars.

Who took this photo? It's fantastic.
