Not Trigger.  But Willie Nelson Owned Guitar Signed by Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, and Others is up for auction.  Opening bid is $2,800.  Actually, I'm surprised the opening is not a little higher.  But who knows what it will go for.

From the description, " Willie Nelson Owned Guitar Signed by Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, and Others. A vintage Japanese-made Kor/Sonic acoustic guitar, serial number 222N, previously owned by Outlaw Country icon Willie Nelson, signed on the body in black felt pen by fellow legendary Country artists Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings (who signs "Ol' Waylon", Kris Kristofferson, Roger Miller, and Rita Coolidge, as well as P.J. Ryan (who inscribes "To Willie"), Ron Richardson, T.F. Micholson, and H. Leopold ("My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys" is written above Leopold's signature in an unknown hand). Guitar was gifted to Buck Jones by Willie, and was left to Buck's girlfriend after his passing. Though it's unknown if this guitar was played by Nelson, it exhibits playwear consistent with other guitars played by the Red Headed Stranger, most notably his beloved Martin, Trigger. Also included with the lot is a red bandana - much like those worn by Nelson - that was wrapped around the neck of the guitar upon consignment, and four color photos of Buck Jones and his girlfriend in the company of Willie and band. Guitar is in Fair condition, with very heavy playwear - including 1.5" x .5" hole below the strings, signatures show some fading, and some crazing to the finish. Hard case included. "

Highly unlikely that it is still for sale.  That was on an auction so most likely it sold.  The only possible way that it didn't sell is if the auction did not generate high enough bids and the seller declared "No Sale".    Given the signatures on the guitar, in addition to Willie,  Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings , Kris Kristofferson, Roger Miller, and Rita Coolidge,  I can't see that happening.  But who knows?

If you are interested in it, you could contact Heritage Auction and ask them to contact the buyer and see if he is interested in selling it.

 

Edited to add:  @JRopski, I logged in and it shows that it sold for $3,500.
