He wore it out.   That's my guess.   Is there something more to it?

mspart

absolutely not...

i remember when i first heard that in the 90s...

it still impresses more than most things i have ever been made aware of...

 

carry on...

He has vision!  That hole is a much better story than a scratch plate.

That would be a question for Mr "Planned Obsolescence and GDP" that was floating through here lately. 

I'm sure he'll tell us it's not as simple as he just wore it through.

Is a guitar more similar to an air conditioner or a banana?  It is gonna blow his mind when he hears a guitar that cost $3.29 mail order from Sears is now worth a quarter million!

If only the Martin Guitar Company knew that the extra hole would make it sound more like Willie, they would  have manufactured them with holes there like they do with jeans now.

Enjoy(?) I'll be at finals next Saturday.  I'm the opposite. My kid is taking me.

i am pretty sure i am committed to being there Saturday for whatever they call the pepsi center now...

it has been several years since i have been escorted out of that building...

That would be a nice change.    Actually I took my dad to US Nationals a few times from 2000-2005 or so.   It was a fun time.   I wrestled in the Veterans a few times.   It was a kick.   I found out those old slow guys were just as fast as me, maybe faster.   Ah how our minds plays tricks with us!!

Willie Nelson is an absolute national treasure.

Now - you may or may not appreciate the sound of his guitar, or you may or may not appreciate his voice. But that's just personal preference.

As a musician, guitar player, songwriter, and performer, his ability is second to no one.

i was never a fan until i saw him live at cain's...

it would have been early 90s...

i had no idea what an actual guitar player he was until then...

that old man played for 3 hours straight no breaks... he was still playing when we finally had enough...

it was a seminal moment for me...

Your perspective is exactly correct.
