About JTKM Vintage Guitars
JTKM Vintage Guitars was formerly JTKM STUDIO (2022-2024). After taking a year out from trading to focus on professional and family life, it is a pleasure to be back in business.
As a collector of vintage guitars and amplifiers, I always search for golden age, 1958-1965 Fender Jaguar and Jazzmaster. If they are rare and original, I'm interested. I own around 30 pre-CBS Jaguar/Jazzmaster and it's a pleasure to have seen their raise in popularity and value over recent decades.
This website is first and foremost a personal website in which I occasionally offer collector grade guitar for sale. However, the pages of my website are also an accumulation of decades of research based off genuine ownership and hands-on experience. The JTKM Vintage Guitars website is a continual work-in-progress with additional information and documentation being added on a regular basis. This website can also be used for research and a reference source for future owners and investors. It is also a showcase for my own collection and a place to connect with fellow investors in the vintage guitar market, without the social media nonsense.
My blog-style page "Authentication HQ" is where you will find valuable information on the Jaguar/Jazzmaster, which will help you authenticate and understand the details on these classic Fender guitars.
The "Fender Offset Collection" page is dedicated to registering rare, original examples that belong to collector friends and myself. If you would like your piece registered here feel free to contact me with details and photos and I will be happy to do so.
Golden era vintage guitars that I have for sale can be found on my "Vintage Inventory" page and also through my Reverb page. The prices listed on my "Vintage Inventory" page are fair, accurate and firm. My Reverb prices are around 12% higher to due their extortionate fees. I offer a 24 hour approval period on all guitar sales. If you're from the EU and buy from me; shipping is dealt with by a third party and will most likely to hand delivered into the EU. All other international sales are sent via UPS or FedEx, fully insured.
