Stormy Humpday Triviola

It appears to be...

A severe case of pixellation caused by a low-res camera.

Well....

....you are right...sorry about that. But on the other hand, a much better picture would make this too easy! ;-)

We'll leave it as is for now and see if anyone gets it. Hints, or a better picture later if not.

Re: If I had to guess...

and I agree the picture is not the best, I'd say carpenter ant damage.

Thanks for the post

When I click on the picture it gets smaller. Small and blurry are not most strong suit.

Hint #1

The wood type is spruce.

Easy Hint #2

Here is that damage from a new perspective.....

Too many beers . . .

dumped on it, especially when plugged in.

Re: Easy Hint #2

Well, if it wasn't the grinnin',

It must have been the pickin'.

Re: Stormy Humpday Triviola

From the looks of the signatures (Roger Miller most prominent) on the guitar, and long hair, I'd guess it's W. Nelson, and he got PO'd at one of his buddies and cut their signature out of the wood. Motivation probably aided and abetted by some form of mind altering libation or smoke.

Good enough...the answer

The answer quite simply is years of wear by its player, Willie Nelson. The guitar is famous for its wear, signatures and of course sound. Some basic correct answers given but Dale gets the extra credit for knowing it's Willy's guitar
