He mainly plays Martin Guitars. His most famous guitar, 'Trigger' is a Martin, also.
Nelson's principal guitar is a Martin N-20 nylon-string acoustic, which he has named "Trigger", after Roy Rogers' horse. Constant strumming over the decades has worn a large sweeping hole into the guitar's body near the sound hole. Its soundboard has been signed over the years by over a hundred of Nelson's friends and associates, from fellow musicians to lawyers and football coaches.

"The Baldwin company gave me a Baldwin amp and classical electric guitar with a special three-cord stereo pickup. I busted that guitar up pretty badly so I sent it up to Shot Jackson in Nashville to get it fixed. He called back and said, 'I can't fix it. It's broke too bad.' I said, 'Well what else have you got around?' He said he had a Martin up on the shelf for $750. I asked if he could put that same Baldwin pickup in the Martin. And that's how I got it, right off the shelf, unseen from a thousand miles away. When I got it I knew that I had picked up something special. I like to just sit around in a room and play it. I like to write on it. I just like the sound of it."

That would be tough to answer not knowing anything about you (whether you're even male or female, what your vocal range is, whether you have a soft, sultry voice, or an edgier raspier voice, what genre you like - country, pop, rock, classical, etc). Listen to stuff on the radio or Pandora or something and find something you like to sing along with, then find the chords to it and play it. You have to pick something you like.

He had a Roach Motel glued to a stick and strung some strings across it. If he ever wiped it down with all purpose guitar cleaning fluid it would dissolve into nothing.

A really, really old one! By the way I'm not sure what brand it is but it could be an old martin. Also, his guitar is named Trigger.

Well, you already know about Trigger, but he also has a custom
semi-hollow electric that he calls 'Snub-nose'.
