What is "Jam Guitars" about? Founder, James Sanscrainte is a Luthier trained and educated in the art of luthiery at the Roberto-Venn School of Luthiery in Phoenix, Arizona. He is a music lover, guitar player and a craftsman. He spent three years in the automotive industry building proto-type vehicles that were featured in the Detroit and New York automotive expositions. He then spent twenty one years in the United States Air Force; he has a hand for craftsmanship and a mind for detail.
James favorite quote "Music is an important part of being a human; it takes humans to keep that cycle alive and keep making music" -Bone Pony
"I grew up in a family of musicians, starting with my mother...primarily guitar players and singers. I channel that passion and history into every instrument I build. My father was an early wood model maker in the automotive industry. He performed the tasks that are now done by CnC machines, except by hand. He instilled a passion for work done by the hand in me that has , in large part, led me to the profession of Luthiery. I handcraft each guitar from start to finish, and use only the the highest quality, specifically selected materials".
Every Jam Guitars instrument is musician quality and meant to allow the musician to discover their sound. Premium woods and hardware, superior geometry and playability coupled with top of the line electronics ensure that these instruments won't get in the way of you expressing your creativity and finding magical tone.
I have several designs of electric (Shark, Bell, Roadster, Cigar box, Tele, and Strat) and acoustic (Dreadnaught, OM, Folk [which is a modified take on a 1957 J-45] and Custom Parlor) guitars that I build and I am always continuing my education in luthiery and developing new designs. I am open to building completely one-off instruments that incorporate the customers own creative ideas.
Each guitar is also warrented against defects in craftsmanship or materials for the life of the instrument. This means that every Jam Guitar will play and sound to the owners expectations; and I will make any adjustments and/or changes that are necessary for the customers satisfaction.
Features that make a difference: Hand carved necks, semi-hollow and hollow bodies, alternate sustainable woods and reclaimed woods, custom scale lengths and pickup configurations and wiring, two way truss rods, top of the line hardware and tuners and custom colors and stains.
Jam Guitars takes custom orders and also has prebuilt acoustic and electric guitars available. If you desire, I will design and handcraft a guitar with you and for you!
