If you weren't aware poolofmud -- listen to Roger Miller's true masterpiece -- "River In the Rain," (KZbin) from an award winning Broadway show he wrote called "Big River" (1985). Miller wrote some memorable hit songs in the 60's but this "River In the Rain" tune convinces me he was no flash in the pan country-novelty singer-songwriter. Miller was masterful. The musicians on this track are stellar.

That old guitar is a martin classical guitar with nylon strings, quite expensive in the 60's. Willie plays it in way that it's not meant to played, hence the damage since it has no pick guard. It's how he has such a unique sound. Oh and he is a virtuoso guitar plyer.
