JA 105 is a
right handed JA with a stop tailpiece and is finished in sunset glow!
JA 105 was sold re-sold
in January 2005 by it's original owner Trevor, of Redwood City,
California. Here's what it's current owner William S. has to say.
My two main guitars are a Zion carve top maple T, and a Heritage 535
custom. I am a rhythm and blues player and my group is called Ocie Fisher
and the Hip Dogs. I purchased this guitar within 3 weeks of becoming
aware of its existence....I've always lusted after a Barney Kessel but
thought that they were a bit too large for my purposes....the Trini Lopez
model was also beautiful but I didn't care for the headstock. Then I saw
the Johnny A. Holy Moly!!!! I like the stop tail simply for tuning and
sustain. The flame top is easily a AAAA....totally killer. Ok, I love
this guitar, but those tuning keys....OUCH!!!! Please, where's the
locking tuners, in GOLD!!! My first real electric guitar was a 1968 Gibson
SG Standard, which I purchased new in 1968, with all of my hard earned
cash. The tulip tuners were totally the mark of excellence in those
days. However, now we use LOCKING TUNERS. Oh well, probably not a good
idea to change anything....but hey, where are the locking tuners? But the
body, the sound, the killer neck and inlays....man, Gibson can really do
it when they put their minds to it.
Here's a few words from Trevor who was the original owner of this guitar:
I've had my eye on a JA for
some time and finally took the plunge. This is a fantastic guitar.
Beautiful work by Johnny and the folks at Gibson. I love playing this
thing! Check out the photos of this wonderful guitar!
