Johnt 11 Report post Posted March 14, 2017 Does anyone know of one for sale?? Or perhaps some stores in the US who might conceivably fall over one? Please?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MissouriPicker 370 Report post Posted March 15, 2017 Don't think I've ever seen one aside from the couple times I've seen Kristofferson play. I've often wondered what the difference between his SJ and one without his name is. Hope you find what you're after. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nid2007 6 Report post Posted March 15, 2017 At homecoming a few years ago, the music Villa had 2. They were very nice, and the farm workers logo at the 12th fret looks very cool. There is a new Vintage Sj for sale on some of the forums that I expect is real similar but for the signature and the ufw logo fret marker. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Johnt 11 Report post Posted March 16, 2017 Thanks for replies guys I kinda think it's a bit of a Hoky Grail job I thought my 5 year quest for a J200-12 was bad enough Set for the long haul, I'm a huge Kristofferson fan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dave F 222 Report post Posted March 16, 2017 ........ I've often wondered what the difference between his SJ and one without his name is. ........ I looked up the specs and from what I read, the Kris model has bone nut and saddle vs tusk, upgraded tuners, different neck shape, AAA-grade Sitka spruce top, custom inlays and custom case.

fortyearspickn 384 Report post Posted March 16, 2017 Sorry, never seen one. But - if you're not aware - in your search... on this Gibson website, under Gibson Guitar Board forums - there is a section for 'gear, etc' which lists a Trading Post forum. You can post an "In Search Of ... a Kristofferson SJ" thread and see what happens. G'Luck. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The way he has talked about it in the past, I can't imagine he would have sold it or that it would be for sale. But I suppose I could enquire subtly the next time I'm passing by.

Not much use to you I wouldn't think but looks great. Might actually be of quite a bit of use, Brixa- John is in the UK, and the Kris SJ looks to be in fine condition. Good find.

62burst 140 Report post Posted March 24, 2017 . . . But I missed it I didn't Wha-t ? Surely you're not going through the trouble and expense to have it shipped back across the pond, are you? John- gotta be careful when you make a post like that OP, and not check back ; someone like Brixa just might be be up for the challenge of finding you one!

Dave F 222 Report post Posted March 24, 2017 Guys thanks so much But I missed it Kicking myself it was a great price too Ouch!' I just received the guitar and you did miss out on a good one. If it weren't for the pick guard scratches, you'd think it had never been played. Simple setup and it will be ready to go. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
