Fundamentally sound.

Once more unto the breach.

Beginning to emBRACE the parlour.

All ready to go tip toeing thru the tulips or Eddie Veddering just in time for the 24 weekend. All mahogany concert uke, hand rubbed oil finish built right here in the shop with my own elf like hands. $510.00 list but I've got it on for $382.00 plus tax.

Soon....

Look I made a rectangle.

Back in the saddle again.

Top notch ! A guaranteed stop every time I'm in the hat.

The people of Medicine Hat are very fortunate to have a man like Chris Jaster living in it because if you need anything that is guitar related then Chris is the man to see. I have bought many guitars from Chris and his prices are always reasonable . Chris's knowledge is priceless period !!

Just wanted to give a shoutout to Chris from JBC Guitars, 1201 Kingsway Ave SE!

I went to do some shopping for my guitar that I was given earlier this week. I went to purchase some strings, capo and some picks. After a Little chatting with Chris, he decided that since I was evacuated from my Fort McMurray home that my money was not needed. I sincerely apreciate your help Chris and all your kindness Medicine Hat!

JBC Guitars is a great place for all your music needs.Very good customer service and Chris Jaster "owner" is very passionate and takes pride in what he does. Thanks for all the help Chris.

I bought a Godin Fifth Ave. Uptown GT from Chris over two years ago. He has helped me "tweek" it to my needs and has ALWAYS been helpful. My new Seagull SWS Mahogany is on its way and should be arriving at JBC shortly. I can not reccomend Chris highly enough.

Great place. Got my simon and patrick cw gt cedar a3t here. Searched a long time for a guitar of this sound that didnt cost in the $6,000 range. I would pit it against the 914ce and k28 in terms of throaty, baritone, resounding tones.

Great people. Great guitars! Thanks so much. Will tell everyone about JBC.

Chris set up my acoustic for me. He was very friendly and took time to listen to the questions I asked him. He is obviously very skilled and knowledgeable. I took my guitar home to play it and it sounds and plays fantastic. Well worth it. Thanks Chris.

Chris really knows his stuff when it comes to setting up a guitar.
