The lineup included the Longhorn and Shorthorn guitars and basses, baritone guitars, 12-strings, Bass VI-style six-string basses, and a range of electric sitars, most notably the Master Sitar and a smaller single-neck sitar offered in various "Gator" finishes. Instruments were built in Nashville from roughly 1981 until 2011, when Jones retired and the company ceased production. Jerry Jones instruments remain sought after on the used market for their distinctive lipstick-tube pickup tone and vintage aesthetic.
