"It’s a long story, but the short version is my wife bought it at an auction, the same auction I was trying to register to bid on this guitar. Unbeknownst to me, she had already registered to bid on it for me as a gift. I was watching the bidding, and said, ‘Well it’s gone, it’s gone under some collector’s bed for the rest of time.’ And my wife comes in and goes, ‘I just bought you Waylon’s guitar.’ It was a Christmas gift. I literally fell on my knees and cried like a little baby. It was the most unbelievable thing that every happened to me. I’ve had it for quite a few years. We got it from Reggie Young, who was touring with The Highwaymen, and by all accounts, Waylon came in one day and gave it to him. It’s a very heavy guitar. It’s a 1950 Fender Broadcaster. He said, ‘Hoss I want you to have this guitar. It’s too heavy.’ So Reggie had it for 25 years and decided it was time to sell it. He didn’t know I bought it. He was the first guy I called and introduced myself to him. I said ‘I own this guitar. Anytime you want it, come over and get it.’ He’s borrowed it for Waylon Jennings days, festivals he plays, that sort of things."
