The Jaros Story

Jim Jaros, founder of the Jaros Guitar Company, designed and then sold his first custom electric guitar in 1996. To some, The Jaros Guitar Company has been a well kept secret since Jim’s initial creation. To others, well, they wouldn’t play another electric guitar. Read what professional musicians and other Jaros customers say about our custom electric guitars.

A Music City Connection

Five years ago Nashville businessman Dave Weiler first encountered a Jaros electric guitar. The rest is history. Dave writes in his own words:

“I was just an attic picker looking for his dream guitar when I came across a nice description of Jaros Guitars on the Internet. I figured that if the sound of an electric guitar has anything to do with its design and construction, then a Jaros guitar must sound fantastic, and so I bought one. It was love at first pluck, and I thought that maybe I should get another. Instead, I ended up buying the company. (Somehow, it’s easier to tell your wife that you just bought a new guitar when you own the company that makes them.)

“It is an honor and a privilege to be part of the Jaros Guitar tradition, and I can’t thank Jim Jaros enough for taking me under his wing, and impressing upon me the principles of quality craftsmanship and attention to detail. Jim continues to be the guiding light and inspiration of our company.

“The Jaros Guitar Company has been building and selling guitars since 1996. But, until very recently, we’ve never done a lot of marketing or selling directly to customers. Finally, in May 2007, we launched a web site that we believe matches the quality of our guitars. We intend to always be a small company, but we are excited about the opportunity of introducing Jaros Guitars to a slightly wider market.. Please enjoy yourself as you look around our site.

“It is our passion and commitment at The Jaros Guitar Company to continually search for ways to make our instruments better. Continuous quality improvement is our way of life. We strongly believe that quality matters with electric guitars: quality design, quality materials, quality components, quality workmanship. We believe that all of this has a direct impact on the quality of the sound that comes out of your amplifiers.

But don’t take my word for it. Please listen to guitarist John Cook talk about Jaros Guitars and hear him play his Jaros. And read what others have to say about their Jaros guitars. If you ever have a question about Jaros guitars, please call or email me, personally.

Thanks again for visiting our web site.”
