Guitar alone out of store new would have cost £230 i last heard where the guy had bought it in an Edinburgh store.. http://reviews.harmony-central.com/r...rez/RD20S/10/1
  2. Yep, that old beat up guitar is as much a part of his show as he himself is. No way could he come on stage with a shiny new guitar. It just wouldn't be the same. Exactly Opa..you know yourself it just wouldnt be the same Willie Nelson with a brand new Martin He has style and prefers used.. a bit like masel

  4. Only thing is if Willie Nelson got a new Martin it just wouldnt look nice with him playing a new guitar as he's his own man with that old guitar with the rather big hole in it scrathes and all
  5. Larry, Just thought at time fir something different as was gonna get a tortoise type p/guard but got a student lass to paint this onto the plain black p/guard which a reckon was Alvarezes own type p/guard on this model.. And below The Entourage (Burst) Rustic Seagull Mini Jumbo
  6. Willie Nelsons guitar shall end up in it's rightful place in Country Music Hall Of Fame in Nashville Tennessee.. Where-as Ma guitar as you see it is in the hall of frame
  7. Depends on whether it has tartanlad's pickguard on it . Well he can do with covering that large hole in his guitar lol But then again he wouldnt look quite right without the hole in his guitar wouldnt he That guitar is Guaranteed to end up in the Country Music Hall Of Fame which would only be right and id love to see it one day.
  8. Katman a had to laugh as i note he uses such a guitar with the big hole in it I guess with his rugged features he suits such a guitar lol but he is unique and i went onto youtube other day check him out when he was in Glasgow's Royal Concert Hall on 8th June this year 2010 and seen him with his old trusty guitar with the large hole in it.. But how much is it worth who knows ? I doubt it shall ever be sold as it shall be a National treasure but belonging to Willie Nelson whom has been such an icon for many yrs now..sure would be worth a gd few bob.. but my line above holds true that guitar shall not be sold.. A reckon his guitar shall end up in "some museum" somewhere in the USA when Willie leaves us and along with his famous pigtails in which he had gotten cut off according to the local newspaper report here at the time he just had got fed up with the upkeep of them and decided to get them chopped off just sometime before his Glasgow show which i noticed on the you tube video His guitar may end up along with these pigtails somewhere in Nashville for instance ? Anyhow ive always been a long time admirer of his the reason i got his painting put on ma guitars p/guard recently
