Willie Nelson is synonymous with Trigger, the iconic Martin N-20 classical guitar that has accompanied him through decades of music, tours, and countless historic performances. Trigger, with its worn wood, patched body, and unmistakable sound, is legendary — so much so that it has almost become a character in Nelson’s life. But long before Trigger became part of the legend, there was another guitar, one that shaped the young Nelson and set him on the path to becoming one of the greatest country musicians of all time.
