I don’t even mean monetary value (though that’s also true, you don’t refinish a vintage guitar because you halve the selling price), but the historical value and sentimental value and enjoyment value. It’s a record of the time he’s put in on it and the dedication to this instrument. That means something, more than “fixing” it ever could.
Willie did try taking it to a repair shop one time when his regular luthier was unavailable. They refused to touch it, because they were afraid of fixing something that shouldn’t be fixed.
So you think Willie Nelson should replace the top on Trigger?
Sure, why not
Because it’s more valuable as is
