For sale: a custom, scratch-built electric guitar by James “Jim” Weyandt / Jam City Guitars, built using the exact specs of a 1959 Doublecut. This is a full boutique build, not a conversion, showcasing premium tonewoods, traditional craftsmanship, and incredible attention to detail.
An amazing 7 lbs 6 oz guitar.

- Top: Carved Michigan flame maple, stunning figured top, hand-carved by Jim
- Neck / Fingerboard: Rosewood

Luthier Build Details:
- Jim Weyandt used his own 1959 Doublecut as a template to copy the exact specs for this guitar
- Made a custom dummy blank for his duplicarver to carve the maple top
- Result: a meticulously crafted, one-of-a-kind instrument that combines vintage inspiration with boutique build quality
Condition:
- Very good, typical small dings from normal play, well cared for
- ~12 years old, fully functional, sounds and plays beautifully
Why This Guitar Stands Out:
- Handmade by a respected Canadian luthier

- Boutique electronics (Wizz pickups)
