Sharing information, video, and social media sightings about Jasper guitars and the people behind them.
Model: Quatre bass
Color: Firemist Gold
This instrument is just on another level. Playing at full volume I experienced the true resonance of this design. I know it sounds silly but the thing plays like it’s alive. The way it responds to touch, dynamics, hand position. The addition of a three way switch really transforms the bass. Incredible fat round tone from the front pickup. Middle position gives a nicely scooped sound with added high end presence that is just phenomenal with a pick. I very rarely use a pick (because I’m not very good at it) but I played a good chunk of the gig with one because it sounded so good on certain songs. This thing is a perfect match with flat wound strings as we all suspected. The sustain was unlike anything I’ve ever played. Not feedback, just sustain. I recall Dennis Shepherd commenting on the Jasper Guitars responsiveness to touch being similar to using a good tube amp. Notwithstanding the fact that guitar players are clinically insane I now completely understand what he was saying. Oh yeah, didn’t go even the slightest bit out of tune over a full gig. That never happens. New hardware is excellent. Bravo to the crew at Jasper. Thanks for having me along for the new adventure.
Model: Olam
Color: Cardinal Red
I have owned well over a 100 guitars in my life, all the big brands! My Jasper Olam is the 1st guitar I’ve pulled off a showroom floor and brought it straight out to a show! I connected with it immediately! The feel, tone and look is second to none! It is my new #1!!
Model: 1841
Color: Doghair
I absolutely love my Jasper 1841. It’s perfect for the acoustic and electric sounds I’m looking for in the music I play. It plays great and is terrific looking. Many is the time someone has approached me after a gig and admired and asked about it. I’m happy to tell them what a pleasure it is to play. What’s more, Tony has been fantastic to work with, making sure the guitar delivers what I’m looking for. Simply put, this is one wonderful instrument.
Model: Deja VuDoo
Color: Natural Yellow
My Jasper Deja Vudoo is the best crafted guitar I own.
Model: Olam Custom
Color: Natural Amber
The unique features of my Olam allow me to customize my sound in a way my major brand guitars cannot, in general, as well as providing the ability to dial in the harmonics to suit the room, amp, key, or playing style. Rather revolutionary!
Model: 1841
Color: Two-tone tobacco burst
My model 1841 skillfully juxtaposes a minimalist—yet attractive—electric guitar appearance with acoustic tones, which is already cool enough, but the harmonic adjustability you can’t get from other brands puts it well above the bar!
Model: Mana-ST
Color: Surf Green
When I play guitar, I want something that wasn’t cut from a mold. Jasper guitars are about as unique as they come. Plenty of retro vibe with forward thinking design set to inspire creation from the get-go. Once you hold one you won’t want to put it down.
Model: Olam (original recipe with Lollar Alnico 5 P-90s)
Color: Firemist Gold
There is something special about this guitar. Everytime I look at it, I need to pick it up; the ease of playability, the perfect craftsmanship, the sound and flexibility is truly unmatched. My Jasper Olam inspires me to create and has easily become my #1.

Model: Quartermaster-ST
Color: Gold Burst
This is without question the most amazing guitar I have ever touched.
I fell in love with it instantly. This is just an awesome and amazing guitar! It’s got some super cool patented technology: its carbon fiber, its vents, it’s gold… oh my God! There’s not a bad sound in this thing!

Model: Mana-ST (custom build)
Color: Fiesta Red
The Mana-ST is a really expressive guitar and I’m excited to work with Tony Louscher and the team at Jasper Guitars. I needed some extra inspiration while working through a wrist injury and the Mana-ST was right on time. The way the guitar sounds acoustically and responds dynamically is impressive; the way the tone and dynamics shine through when electrified totally blows me away.
Model: Deja VuDoo
Color: Black Dog Hair
It was love at first sight. This guitar is responsive like no other guitar that I have played.
You will be hearing so much about these guitars for years to come.

Model: Mana-TRM
Color: Custom Gold
My Jasper straddles the line between a semi-hollow and solid body guitar. In this way it is unique, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the playability and sound. Every aspect is fine tuned and I do appreciate the attention to detail. I’m a very satisfied customer. Thanks.

Model: Deja
Color: TV Yellow
Model: Elmore
Color: Tobacco burst
We all know the saying “love at first sight,” right? When it came to my Jasper Elmore acoustic/electric guitar, it was “love at first sound.”
Model: Olam Custom
Color: Cherry Burst
From the second this axe got into my hands, it became my number one guitar. I had always struggled with dual humbucker guitars, but my Olam simply rocked it right out of the gate. It’s a tone monster that even delivers that cool old Peter Green out of phase sound.

Model: 1841
Color: Old Dog Burst
One day my wife and I walked into Tony’s shop just to look around. Tony had me try out the 1841. I had no intention of making a purchase, but my wife insisted because of how beautiful it sounded and looked. I now play it at church and open mics and it sounds incredible.
Model: Elmore
Color: Tobacco/Lemon Burst
This has been an absolute joy to play. The feel of the neck is fantastic. The sound has been great and it’s got a really versatile range of sounds depending on where you set the internal mic: you want a resonator? You got it. You want a regular acoustic sound? You got it. It’s been a great purchase and Jasper is now a favourite of mine. This really is game changing. I am currently looking into more of the Jasper range because this is quality that I want in my guitar playing life. Well done, Jasper!
In addition, here is a brief recording which was done with my new Jasper Elmore. All acoustic guitars are the Elmore which takes the lead for the first half, and the rhythm guitars for the entire piece.
Model: Deja VuDoo
Color: Natural Yellow
I love my new Deja Vudoo with so much uniquely rich tones all over the neck, and easy play and spin the notes! Hear me play it for the first time here: https://youtu.be/q9zu3h6-7M4
Model: Deja VuDoo
Color: Natural Yellow
I love my Deja VuDoo! I have a number of “high end” guitars and I must say the build quality and finish of my Deja VuDoo is among the best. It’s also the only one I have with the unique carbon fiber back and vented chamber which give it a truly distinctive sound. I’m pretty sure anyone who plays would love to have one of these.
Model: Deja VuDoo
Color: Natural Yellow
The sustain and clarity of tone on the Deja VuDoo is incredible. I’ve never had a guitar that produced such a wide range of interesting, usable tones. It looks incredibly cool and plays like a dream!
Model: Quartermaster-ST
Color: Surf Green
These instruments are a brilliant mix of an original design paired with amazing playability. Each guitar is one of a kind and I am extremely glad that I own one!
