Michael, I can see where they would want the honor to go to a player of country music renown & probably a member/future member of their HOF. Willie Nelson has played a classical adapted, slotted headstock all these yrs. I would think the honor should have been his.

Bonzo
the God of Thunder and one of my absolute heroes

many people don't know this but everything you hear Bonzo play in his solos is him paying homage to his heroes Max Roach, Buddy Rich, Joe Morello, and Elvin Jones

he would literally play Max licks verbatim in his solos to pay respect ... he often started his Moby Dick solo with Maxs "The Drum Also Watzes"
...and the playing with his hands section is taken right from Joe Morello ... he had the ultimate respect for his heroes and honored them every night

there has never been anyone like Bonzo before or since ... a true original and master with pure god given skill and farm strength
