"Johnson" is a brand name for guitar, but, if you're asking if Johnson is a name brand guitar as in "quality" guitar, then I would say no. Johnson is an inexpensive guitar somewhat suitable for beginners.

Yes, Radioshack sold them from somewhere around 1969 till somewhere around 1972.
There are pretty much no "bad" guitar brands these days, keeping in mind that there are many hundreds of "brands", often coming from the same manufacturers with different brand names stamped on the headstock. A guitar is good if it feels right and it plays right and, most of all, if you are proud to own it and play it, regardless of the name on the headstock. If you are buying the guitar as a gift, and you are not a guitarist, ask someone who is a guitarist to give an opinion as to the feel and playability of this guitar. Pay no attention to the name on the instrument because you will find well known name brand guitars such as Fender, Gibson and Ovation, being made in the same offshore factories as unknown or local brands. Just play it, love it, and be happy that you have a guitar, the world's most beautiful instrument.
