In my new role as Jewitt Guitars Ambassador, I not only get to play the lovely 00-13c that Jeff sent me, but I also get to help sell his other guitars that are available!

I’ve worked with Jeff since late 2021 when he sent two guitars to The North American Guitar, where I helped market and sell them. After those found homes, Jeff brought us another six guitars, plus I got the chance to play many more at guitar shows, Cedar Rock Studio and Guitar Gallery, and during workshop visits - everything from small-bodied parlors up to SJs, with just about every “typical” tonewood you can think of.

From those first experiences with his work to now, I’ve seen how much his build style has evolved in just a few short years.

For anyone who loves the traditional Martin style, his earlier guitars (some of which are available) are right up your alley, and he continues to capture that same warmth of tone in newer guitars. More recently, through his collaborations with player Matt Thomas and fellow builder Ryan Gerber, he’s incorporated the kinds of modern fingerstyle guitar techniques many boutique players are looking for - Manzer wedges, specially carved slim C neck profiles, soundports, unique appointments and color schemes, and of course, premium tonewoods.

I’ve had the chance to play every one of his guitars currently located with him in Cleveland, as well as those at Cedar Rock. I am happy to answer any questions or offer guidance for anyone considering buying one of these Jewitt guitars or commissioning a new one!
