Jedson was a UK-branded line of student and intermediate-level guitars distributed by John E. Dallas & Sons, whose initials (J.E.D. + Sons) formed the name. The badge was first applied to banjos in the late 1920s and 1930s, then revived under Dallas Arbiter from roughly 1969 through the mid-1970s for a range of Japanese-made guitars sold almost exclusively in the UK.

The catalog covered solid-body electrics (Telecaster-, Stratocaster-, Les Paul- and SG-style copies), semi-acoustic archtops, short- and long-scale basses, dreadnought and jumbo acoustics, 12-strings, and lap/Hawaiian steels. Production was spread across Japanese factories depending on the instrument and price point: Teisco is commonly cited for the electrics and their pickups, Terada for many of the acoustics, with Matsumoku and Kawai tied to specific models such as the 4444 Jet Les Paul-style and various Tele-style copies. Other cataloged models included the Interceptor, Super Jet, and Strato-style electrics.

Jedson instruments are generally considered entry-level copies rather than high-spec builds — simpler hardware and finishes than the Japanese 'lawsuit-era' tier — but the Teisco-made pickups have given the electrics a following among players chasing a distinct vintage Japanese tone. The lap steel in particular is sought after, partly due to its association with David Gilmour, who used a Jedson steel guitar.
