Default Other than Willie Nelson and “Trigger”, what other celebrity guitars are somewhat fam

All that I have come quickly to mind is the Andy Griffith D-18.
What other guitars are famous like that?

Not sure they ever had names but Gene Autrys Martin guitar and Roy Rogers Martin also.

Seems Roy Rogers guitar sold in the last few years for what I remember was over $500k.
