The hole in Willie Nelson's guitar, named Trigger, was caused by years of playing and the natural wear and tear that comes with it. Nelson often used a unique fingerpicking style that resulted in significant friction against the guitar's top, leading to the eventual hole. Over time, this wear became a distinctive feature of the instrument, symbolizing both its history and Nelson's long career in music.
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.
Willie Nelson is famously known for playing a guitar called "Trigger," which is a Martin N-20 nylon-string acoustic guitar. He has used this instrument since the 1960s, and it has become iconic in his performances and recordings. The guitar has a distinct sound and features a large hole, which is a result of years of wear and tear. Trigger is not only a tool for his music but also a significant part of his artistic identity.
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.
