Wildflowers
Tom Petty used an SJ-200 model whilst writing and recording Wildflowers, which is where the model gets its name from. He described the guitar’s sound character as the “big jangle” which, for a jumbo sized acoustic, is probably about right. On the front of the headstock you’ll find the Wildflower logo in Mother-of-Pearl. And on the back is a “You belong among the Wildflowers” decal . Petty’s signature is engraved on that massive double pickguard.
His daughter Adriana Petty was also involved in the project. So it is both a labour of love and a nice tribute for fans worldwide.
“It is so incredible to see the SJ-200 design our Dad worked on so long ago, lovingly brought to fruition with his long-time guitar tech and friend Alan Weidel and the craftsmen and women at Gibson guitars. We hope fans and members of the music community alike enjoy this beautiful instrument as much as we do. It is a beautiful tribute to him.”- Adriana Petty.
