About JTKM Vintage Guitars
JTKM Vintage Guitars was formerly JTKM STUDIO (2022 to 2024). After a year out to focus on professional and family life, it is a pleasure to be back in business.
I collect vintage guitars and amplifiers, and I am always searching for golden age Fender Jaguar and Jazzmaster guitars from 1958 to 1965. If they are rare and original, I am interested. I own around 30 pre-CBS Jaguar and Jazzmaster guitars, and it has been a pleasure to watch their popularity and value rise over recent decades.
This website is first and foremost a personal website where I occasionally offer collector grade guitars for sale. It is also an accumulation of decades of research, based on genuine ownership and hands-on experience. It is a continual work in progress, with additional information and documentation added on a regular basis, and it can be used as a research and 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.

Every collector grade vintage guitar sale comes with a signed certificate of authenticity from JTKM Vintage Guitars, which I 100% stand by as accurate and correct.
