The Jay Turser brand of guitars was created by Tommy Rizzi at Music Industries Corp. in the late 1990s. Initially, Jay Turser instruments consisted of student and entry-level guitars that were based on popular American designs. As the line expanded through the 2000s, mid-level guitars and original designs have been introduced and Jay Turser currently offers a wide variety of guitars, basses, and guitar amplifiers. For more information visit their website or contact them directly.
Instruments currently produced in Asia since 1997. Distributed by U.S. Music Corp. in Buffalo Grove, IL. Previously distributed by American Music & Sound (AM&S) in Agoura Hills, CA.
