Description

The Jeff Jewitt 00-14 – Italian Spruce & East Indian Rosewood is a sublime expression of luthiery, a guitar that melds refined tonal character with artisan-level craftsmanship. At the helm is Jeff Jewitt, a respected authority in the world of fine finishes and colorants—his name synonymous with the highest standards in both woodworking and guitar aesthetics. For decades, Jeff has honed his skills not only as a master finisher but also as a hands-on luthier, bringing an artist’s eye and a musician’s ear to every build. His deep knowledge of materials and resonant design shines through in this instrument, which sings with an extraordinary depth of tone and sensitivity. Light touch or heavy attack, it responds with immediacy and soul, while offering exceptional ease of play and flawless intonation across the fingerboard.

The AAA Italian spruce top—sonically graded and tuned at Jewitt Guitars—pairs with East Indian rosewood back and (triple laminated) sides to deliver warmth, clarity, and projection that feels effortlessly balanced. Adorned with Ebano and sycamore line bindings, ebony backstrip with maple lines, and B/W/B fiber purfling, the visual elegance matches the tonal sophistication. The tricolor mosaic rosette and fire wedge tail wedge add stunning artistry, framed in purfling that complements the instrument's unified design language.

Scalloped and tapered Adirondack spruce bracing, bonded with animal protein glue, ensures a lively and responsive top, while a one-piece Honduran mahogany neck with a slim C profile and semi-gloss buffing caters to modern fingerstyle players with speed and comfort. The Madagascar rosewood fingerboard and bridge, along with ebony and rosewood appointments throughout—including the signature Jewitt Swoosh headstock, Macassar ebony veneer, and cocobolo truss rod cover—create a tactile and visual masterpiece.

With premium hardware like Gotoh 510 18:1 tuning machines and a stainless steel dual-action truss rod with dual carbon fiber reinforcement, this guitar is built for stability and enduring precision. The catalyzed urethane gloss finish not only protects but enhances the natural luster of each hand-selected tonewood. At just 4 lbs 10 oz and with resonant frequencies of 187hz (top), 245hz (back), and a Helmholtz resonance of 107hz, the Jeff Jewitt 00-14 is not just an instrument—it’s a sonic sculpture, masterfully voiced and impeccably made.
