Want this question answered?
Willies guitar before "Trigger" got banged up pretty badly. Willie sent the banged up guitar to "Shot Jackson" in Tennesee to get it repaired. Shot Jackson called back and said the guitar was busted up too badly to repair. Willie asked Shot what he had up there. Shot said he had a Martin for $750. Willie bought it sight unseen 1000 miles away. Willie said Roy Rogers horse was named "Trigger" and this guitar was his horse so he named it "Trigger".

Yes, when Willie Nelson plays in public, he still uses that same old beat up guitar, or "Trigger" as he calls it. It has becaome one of his trademarks.
That's correct - the "battered" guitar he named Trigger is a Martin N-20. It has the signatures of many other artistes on it, although that type of guitar is normally played finger-style he uses a plectrum. It is now probably one of the most valuable guitars although there are no plans to sell it. Rumour has it that Willie will retire if and when the guitar becomes beyond being playable. Apparently he has no intention of having it restored.
Old faithfull
