Default Jester Guitar

I own a Jester JMD 63. Great guitar, bought it off some one for $200. I Have yet to find something equal even in the $1000. plus range. The guitar does have Martin ties. I am convinced that John Pearse of John Pearce strings and who worked for Martin in the latter part of the 70's then returned to Germany is one of the people involved in making that guitar. The Jester name was owned by a company call Jay Associates international. The last known address was in Easton PA. I sent a letter to the current owner of the house who told me that the previous owner of the house was a excecutive at Martin Guitar. Trail ends there. I think that the guitar is a law suit guitar, and Martin put the company out of business and bought up the stock.

Hang on to the one you have, they are rare and pretty nicely made.
