Please help the Johnny A. history and the creator of the Johnny A. site, our good friend Chris A.:

The Johnny A. Signature Model Guitar

The History & Design of Gibson's Modern Classic

Yes, that's the "working" title of a my 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

chris@chrisa.us

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.

Gibson Summer Jam 2008

Ed King

At the Gibson Custom Shop's Summer Jam 07 they were finally discussing the chambered-reissues . Since 2004, Gibson has not advertised them but now the 58's are listed. Check them out. EdKing (Lynyrd Skynyrd guitarist and author of "Sweet Home Alabama") came by to look at Les Pauls and decided that out of all the Les Pauls he has tried over the years, that a chambered sounded closer to his original 59 Les Paul than any solid body Les Paul. Check out what Ed has to say.

This is one of my greatest moments when I got to meet Ed King.

Another great BOTB moment (below) Edwin Wilson, myself, and Yasuhiko Iwanade

"Great sounding guitar with lot's of sustain, warm woody tone, not too dark. Wonderful harmonically rich feedback through a hot Marshall."---Steve Domenico

Take it from a Pro.... Jimmy Allen from "Puddle of Mudd" says: ""1958 VOS CHAMBERED LES PAUL NICE VINTAGE LOOK .VERY CORRECT LOOKING. THIS ONE IS STOCK,DIDNT NEED TO CHANGE A THING. ITS ALL THERE. THESE VOS GUITARS SOUND AND FEEL INSANE, NOTES JUMP OUT AND BLOSSOM EVEN WHEN ITS UNPLUGGED. SOUND IS MUCH SWEETER THIS TIME I THINK, MAYBE BECAUSE OF THIN SKIN FINISH. THE FEEL,THE TONE, THE LOOK. NAILED IT THIS TIME!!!! "
