With a career that spanned six decades, Waylon Jennings was one of country music’s most popular and influential artists. In his early days, he performed in shows as the bass player for Buddy Holly, and in the 1970s, he was a key component in the outlaw country movement. While Waylon owned numerous guitars, this D-28 was his main songwriting guitar at home and on the road. It is a transitional era guitar in that it blends the most well-known element of a pre-war D-28—the herringbone top inlay with the dot fingerboard—that had been featured on Standard Series D-28 models since the year his was built. Much like his guitar, Waylon Jennings was a transitional musician blending traditional country music with outside influences to create a whole new sound.
