Les Paul before and after it was smashed by a psychotic roadie.

This was inspired by Willie Nelson and his famous "Trigger" which is an old Martin that he always plays. You can see names carved in it with ballpoint pen! Fittingly the first name on Zero's axe was Willie's! Also at the same time playing in Willie's band was Grady Martin one of Nashville's most famous session players. Also from country music is the incredible songwriter Kris Kristofferson. Speaking of songwriters Gordon Lightfoot was nabbed at Massey Hall in Toronto. From the British Invasion in the sixties there is Keith Richards and Charlie Watts from The Rolling Stones and Ray Davies from The Kinks. From the world of progressive rock Chris Squire and Steve Howe from Yes also signed on. Incredible Jazz artists featured are the legendary pianist Oscar Peterson, guitaritst's guitarist Ed Bickert and master vibe player Peter Appleyard who played with Count Basie, Frank Sinatra and Benny Goodman. Just to make things interesting, Zero's favorite author, America's top crime writer Elmore Leonard put his name on as did the late great movie star Robert Mitchum. David Diamond from The Kings also signed the guitar after some arm twisting from Zero. This guitar is kept in storage and gets pulled out when someone interesting is close by.
