Waylon Jennings Acoustic Electric Award Guitar 1995

This is a Waylon Jennings master-built acoustic-electric award guitar, the only one of its kind, presented to Waylon Jennings when inducted as a Living Legend by TNN and Music City News. The event was televised on June 5, 1995. A certificate of the event is posted on the back wall of the guitar, visible through the sound hole. Paperwork is included that describes and certifies the guitar, and is signed by Waylon Jennings.

The guitar has "Waylon" in pearl on the fret neck, and the body is bound in ivory, with more inlaid pearl at the sound hole and the headstock, gold Schaller tuners. The finish is textured black on the front, and black with embedded tiger stripes on the sides and back. An electronic pick-up is embedded under the bridge with cord insert located in strap peg.

The guitar is complete and original, constructed by Washburn in Chicago, and the only example in the world.

Before his first operation, this was Waylon’s kick-around guitar for a few years; that was when he lived on Hickory in Brentwood, Tennessee. It has a few small dings, which Waylon made himself. I played the guitar on a CBS special, recorded with it, and it is otherwise not played, except by Waylon Jennings.

It looks, sounds and plays simply amazing. The guitar is a piece of history and should be in the Country Music Hall of Fame. It comes with a high-end hard case.
