Jim Reed Guitars is an Italian custom shop directed by guitarist Jim Reed, focused on building electric guitars and basses with classic-style designs. The shop draws from decades of experience in tone and pickup matching, offering models inspired by traditional templates such as Telecaster, Les Paul, and PRS-style single-cuts and double-cuts.

The brand is known for hand-finishing and assembly in Italy, with bodies and necks fitted with components like Kent Armstrong pickups. Reed's instruments feature a proprietary "Flatback" neck profile developed and patented by the builder. The lineup includes solid-body electric guitars, bass guitars, and tube amplifiers, sold both directly through the shop and through the secondhand market on platforms like Reverb.

Within owner communities on TalkBass, Telecaster Discussion Page Reissue, and other forums, Jim Reed instruments have a reputation as boutique-leaning builds offered at prices below traditional Italian luthier rates, making them a frequent topic among players seeking affordable hand-assembled alternatives to mainstream brands.

Jim Reed has 2 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Semi-Hollowbody Electric Guitars and Solid Body Electric Guitars.
