Glen Hansards newer guitars, for example, were actually modified in a way that they created a 'second sound hole' on purpose after his old work horse Takamine got bruised badly over the years and had one appearing naturally.

The coolest thing about Willie is after every show, he stays outside his Honeysuckle Rose bus and meets, greets, takes pics, signs autographs, and visits with every single person who wants to stay after the show and wait their turn to meet him. He's a great guy, good person, and an American icon.

Okay, just today, an old man playing guitar, covering songs and writing his own popped out of nowhere and I absolutely felt home. Now, this dude showed up in my feed. I tell you what, I am absolutely pleased. I’d like to be in his shop listening to what he has to say. I am nowhere close to be a great guitarist but I do like adjusting my own and putting my own flavor on the guitar.

Back in1989 I was in Rapid city South Dakota for a benefit concert for the American natives. I was there as a guitar tech for a well known artist. When I was in the back stage alone checking guitars and getting ready for the show a man walked in with a big aluminum guitar case. He asked me if I could take care of Willie Nelson's guitar. When I open the case it was "Trigger"! I was pretty excited for sure. I was with the guitar for all afternoon until show time. I handed Trigger to Willie on the stage, and Willie took it saying thank you with a beautiful smile. He did solo, and it was great. I did put my finger prints all over Trigger though.

I love how loyal he is to his guitar.

The amp is the weed stash. I bet finger hash is helping hold that second hole together tho.

R T That was resin he was scraping off the guitar.

The voice of this man calms me down. Like some sort of meditation. Amazing video by the way.

What a delightful relaxing voice, very Bob Rossian.. a talented craftsman and a great storyteller as well

It’s always fascinating watching a master of any skill effortlessly take on such a HUGELY Priceless irreplaceable object and just well go about fixing it.

please be careful with those tools, you might scratch the top.

progholio Lmao! 😂 😂 😂

It’s funny to me that at first glance you think “wow that guitar is in bad condition” but really it’s one of the best taken care of guitars ever

It's massively refreshing to see something being used up. Thank goodness no so-called restoration. Brilliant and reassuring. Repair. No drama. Other channels, watch and learn.

In addition to serious luthier/wood/mechanical skills, Mark also has the worlds most relaxing narration voice.

Having close friends and family sign my favorite guitar... man that gave me the chills. What a sweet guy

Thank you...it is always interesting to watch and listen to master at work. Keep Trigger going, no pressure🙃.

I had the honor of meeting Willie Nelson at Red Rocks by pure chance one time. Man has a farmers grip. Real thick strong hand. I can see why trigger has so much wear. Those fingers are pure muscle. Very nice and straight forward fella too!

That guitar is gonna be worth millions one day!!!!

Trigger will go with Willie, I'd have thought.

A True Master of his art. Hypnotic to watch

Amazing work keeping this national treasure alive. Long may Trigger ride!

pure country within the wood of his guitar, placed there with love, great talent and passion. 🎼🎵🎼🎶🎼

Mark fixed my broken headstock around 1990.. still going strong.

thank you for sharing the wonderful history of Trigger.

I love listening to this man's voice especially he's caring for trigger Willie's guitar . i can take one of my guitar for repairs

I kid you not, I almost fall asleep while whatching this. What a voice. Insomnia cure.

That guitar has so much character and history. Love that thing so much!

Note to self: Do not let Willie Nelson touch my guitar

But it would ramp up in value though.

I came across a really old video of Willie playing what I can only assume was trigger before it had even a mark on it. It's was really very neat to see trigger so "young" if you will. Long live the Redheaded Stranger but I believe he will probably be buried with trigger. What a job it must be keep that famous guitar playable. Also and honor.

This video contains some pretty solid ASMR "triggers".

Willie's guitar tone is as unique as Eddie and Stevie's. It's as important as his chops. It's a combination of both that made these guys so iconic.

It's like being charged with the task of reforging the sword in Lord of the Rings. It's a legendary axe :)

Robert is right that thing is not an axe. Nice guitar but not an axe by any means. Thing doesn't shred. It sings.

it's like witnessing a body being operated by a veteran surgent. i feel this guitar being patient with the pain which would otherwise have been yet to be had.
