His tail is completely fine, not puffy or anything so I don’t think he’s scared of new people, he’s just very weary of them but it doesn’t seem to go away no matter how long they’re around. I just want to learn some tips on how to make him more comfortable with people.

Growing different from hissing but I would want to look at his entire body language not just what's coming out of his mouth. However, if he is swatting at people then this can be an issue. I would consider consulting with the an animal behavioralist such as Marilyn Kreiger, the Cat Coach.

UPDATE!
We realized that Jax has really intense anxiety when people are over. After speaking to our breeder we thought that bringing in a new guy could help Jax in many ways, and entertain him when we're out. So introducing Rupert!! We brought home Rupert (an F5 SBT male) about a month ago and he is very social and good with people and this has been a huge help on Jax's anxiety when we have people over. Jax still gets very moody if there are people over for too long, but Ru has definitely helped calm his nerves. We are so happy!

I'm so glad that having a kitty companion has eased his anxiety! Wonderful!~

Another Savannah owner swallows the hook and believes a second SV will be the remedy. May I suggest the next time you stub your toe immediately grab a hammer and smash it again to see if it helps. At this point, totally unknown until you cross the bridge, but it’s pretty much like the mob, you can’t get out without entering a witness protection program, assume a new identity as a vacuum cleaner parts salesperson in Bellevue Nebraska.
Wishing you the best of luck, Rupert looks quite handsome and I’m glad you have convinced yourself this is meeting your objectives.

I’m all ears if you get it figured out.
At this point, we are all in with a pair of f1s who can be the best of friends or like a pair of Cat 5 hurricanes tearing after one another. Never a dull moment.
