Apparently, little is known about Jedson Acoustic guitars. This site is
intended to be a place where information about the guitars can be combined
for the benefit of anyone having an interest in them. They may not be collectable
guitars; however they certainly are rare!
Since the site was launched, a number of
Jedson owners have brought their guitars
out of the closet (so to speak) and there
are many nice examples in excellent condition.
The only people that see to be selling are
those having the Telecaster -style guitars.
Quite a few have shown up on eBay in the
past year. I am maintaining a record of all
the Jedson sales (Blue Book) I can locate so we can establish a base-line
value for each model. I will also try to
develop a table of "comparables"
from which a value can be assigned -- similar
to the way real-estate agents determine the
value of a home.
I am located in the USA; however, nearly
all Jedsons are found in the UK, where the
importer, Dallas Arbiter was stationed. Most
sales take place on the UK eBay site. Shipping
to the USA is very expensive. My archop was
shipped from Scotland for more than half
the cost of the guitar! I would like to bring
over a Les Paul copy, or a special acoustic
like the jumbo (Gibson SJ200 copy), or the
full-size archtop (Gibson L4 copy), but shipping
will prevent that while the US dollar has
a low value on exchange.
