In the truck, I am NOT paying data to stream something when radio is free (well, paid for by tolerating the commercials for crap I'm not gonna buy anyway. I dont pay attention to them either, unless they are irritating enough to shut off the radio).

Eh, I pay $25/month for unlimited everything so it's not a big deal to me.

Hard to tell for sure but are all six strings the same size?
Is there something weird about the headstock?

a) I'm not going to pay to listen to music online or on the radio.
b) I hate ads as much as anyone. After years of listening to commercial radio, I now listen while at home to CBC radio which is commercial-free.
c) Listening to "random songs" occasionally leads to hearing something new and wonderful that never would've been discovered otherwise.
d) I like having the radio on for company. I enjoy not only the music that plays, but I also enjoy hearing what's going on in the world... both in my own neighborhood and worldwide.
e) When I want to listen to nothing but music, it's usually when that's all I want to be doing. I get so caught up in a good piece of music that I find it difficult to focus on anything else properly.* Or conversely, when I'm 100% focused on a task at hand, I'm completely oblivious to whatever might be going on in the background. I guess I don't multitask well.
*Having said all that, I do enjoy listening to music while driving.

That is a classical guitar, very rarely used for country music with the notable exception of Willie Nelson, hence the "triggered" comment. A classical guitar has nylon strings, a somewhat smaller body, an uncompensated bridge, an exceptionally long scale and a very wide fretboard.
It is much better suited for music like this:
You can hear how different that guitar sounds as compared to a steel string dreadnought or jumbo.
The people who work at the radio station are not country music people, they are radio people and just chose a picture of "a guitar".[This message has been edited by williegoat (edited 11-24-2020).]

"The people who work at the radio station" probably had nothing to do with the choice of guitar either. Chew out their ad agency.

Still, if they were country music people, they would have told the agency to fix it.

LOL I figured it had something to do with Willie, but I never would have guessed what it was!

Actually, your observation regarding the headstock is correct. That style of headstock is common on, but not unique to, classical guitars. But it is just style and makes no difference to the sound or feel of the guitar.
A classical guitar would feel very strange to anyone who has never held one.

Willie, I realize that you play multiple musical instruments, and more power to you for doing so... but I doubt the vast majority of "country music people" could give a good hee-haw what the heck type of guitar appears in a FB radio ad!
