About John Anthony Guitars

Hello my name is Sandra Blakey and I would like to welcome you to the John Anthony Guitars website. JAG is a small business based in North Yorkshire producing scale plans for self builders. It is very much a niche business trying to offer something unique and special to our customers. I took over the running of the business in 2018, previously to that I had worked alongside my husband annotating and upgrading plans for our Elite Guitar Plan range. Although selling plans is the main purpose of this website it does also have many reference pages. Please , if you can, spend some time to browse the site. Here you will find many useful reference pages to accompany the plans. There are building sequences for many of the designs, hints, tips, demos and links. Also the Customer Gallery displays guitars built from the Elite Guitar Plan range by our customers.
I hope you enjoy your visit to my website and in some way it inspires you to make your own creation!

JAG HISTORY
JAG was originally set up by my husband John Blakey. John played and produced his own music from the age of 18 and from this started to design and create his own guitars. This was how the Elite Guitar Plan range was born! He was responsible for ALL the JAG products including the famous Baytone guitar pickup design range, acrylic fretboards, decal patterns, plans and art work as well as the CBG products.
Sadly John passed away in 2018. Please see our Blog page in memory of John.
