JA 119 was sold on Ebay and was originally owned by a gentleman named Joe.  This is a very interesting right handed, antique natural guitar with a stop tail piece. I believe it is the second Antique Natural JA without a Bigsby. (JA owns one, I think SN 003)  Pretty neat.  This guitar has found it's way to Europe!  Here's what its owner has to say:

I love the Johnny A guitar and this is my second one.  My first is the with a Bigsby in a sunset glow finish and I had to get me a stoptail one.  After some search and with the help of Chris Armold, a great guy and a true enthusiast and Captain of the board of the JA Registry I got this beautiful antique natural one, a very rare guitar as it seems that it is one of the only ones made in natural with a stoptail.
The JA119 is a fabulous guitar: looks, plays and sounds fantastic.  The balance of the body is perfect and it has a lot of sustain. It is a piece of fine art made by the worlds top artisans in Gibson custom shop. I was also very lucky to have Chris take my Certificate of Authenticity to Johnny A concert and have him sign it. Now what I only need is to get me a black one.  They are quite rare and I don't mind if it is with a stoptail or with a Bigsby.  The JA guitar is a well kept secret.  Most of guitarist never had a chance to see or play one, there is less than 300 made in 2 years and it will never compare with mass production guitars models like Les Pauls or Strats. Play one and you get hooked.  Peace to all of you
