The Johnny A. Guitar Registry is requesting you help!!!!
The Johnny A. Signature Model Guitar
The History & Design of Gibson's Modern Classic
Yes, that's the "working" title of Chris A.'s newest book project.
I'm writer and photographer Chris A. (no relation to JA) but I am working with Johnny A. to produce a very high quality book on the history and development of the Gibson Custom Shop Johnny A. Signature Model guitar and I would like YOUR help on this project. If you own a JA guitar I'd really like to hear from you. Please drop me a line at
I'm seeking high-quality photographs, information and stories about you and your guitar! Every JA is a beautiful guitar so I'd like to hear from you about your passion for this modern classic.
In addition to obtaining information and photos of JA guitars I'm also very interested in what YOU would like to see within the pages of this book? Do you have questions for Johnny A. about "why" something is the way it is on the guitar? Let me know. I may use your question.
My objective is to write the most definitive volume about this guitar that is possible. I want to fill it with historically accurate, detailed information supported by great images of these beautiful instruments. I know many of you are very serious players, collectors, dealers and enthusiasts. Consequently your input will be valued.
If you have owned or currently own a JA please drop me a line! If you're a retail music store and you sell the JA, I'd love to hear from you. If you have interesting JA or JA guitar related material, promo stuff, posters, performance photos, ticket stubs etc., yes, I'm interested in hearing from you. Thanks for reading this and I hope you'll considering being a part of the legacy of the one of the finest electric guitars that has ever been produced.

This next photo is an important one to me. On both ends are the old and new admins for the JAR and in the middle are the creators of the signature guitar. It was taken at a Gibson Custom Shop Fantasy Camp where Chris and I got to work side-by-side with the wonderful people in the shop. We learned a lot about the Johnny A. guitar as well as other Gibson models.
