Porter Wagoner
"Manuel Cuevas, who worked and tailored with country fashion legend Nudie Cohn, designed this suit for Porter Wagoner. In 1995, guitar collector Mac Yasuda presented this custom-made Rich & Taylor guitar to Wagoner. Overlaid with rhinestones, the covered wagon and cactus designs are symbols of the artist to whom the guitar paid tribute. "
