Say it doesn’t play as good as an expensive guitar right in front of the sales guy, genius move Poindexter.

Yep, I have the JS-1000 QTBL, and is amazing. The finish and the quality control on these guitars are top level. And the neck is smoother than butter. Can't wait to see more versatility from Jet.

Let the man talk and be proud of his product. Says much that he even took the chance to appear. I don't have a jet guitar atm, just looking at reviews and opinions, but you were a bit too contrarian in this. They seem quite good for the price.

They're better than quite good they 5hit all over my Mexican Fenders for playability and feel. I modded my JS400 with ToneRiders, new switches and pots and locking tuners and I'm not joking when I say it plays as well as my American Professional I LOVE the necks on Jet Guitars

@@ronniboi312 yeah i want to sell a js 450, quite like it in any case, and then get a js 800 for the fixed bridge and relic feel. There's something about them that is good. I'll see how it goes. If it had a more dense body like ash I'd love it.

Oh My! It's the..."GuitarWanker"!

I'm a big fan of budget guitars, I haven't played a jet (yet) but they manage to have some very solid specs along with some really cool looking instruments at very reasonable prices.

Hi guys. I have the Jet JS300 left handed in sea foam green. It arrived just over a week ago and it's the best guitar I've ever owned. I've been playing guitars since the late 70s had 2 Fender player series Strats plus Ibanez and Gibson Les Paul copies and I find the neck on the Jet JS300 amazing and sounds great. Great guitars that are great to play and well made. It's nice to see that you get a good quality guitar for the money. In my opinion you won't get a better guitar with roasted Maple neck and bone nut for the same money. The finish is great.

Internet interviewers with no formal media background lack tact, yes this means you chia pet. I liked their old logo stop shoving your opinion in just let the man talk. Also thanks for mentioning the pickguard after all the interview was really catered for you.

My JT350 arrived and is perfect not a mark on it and pots solid and feel like quality..The neck is absolutely gorgeous and a joy to play ,Also it was a bit lighter than I thought too at just 2.6kg /5.7lb

Cheapest signature should be a Les Paul Junior style, bolt-on, single humbucker with coil tap and phase switches (the cheapest and easiest ways to get tone variation). Bolt on neck but with shaping for access (another minimum cost value add). Use a quick connect pickup and provide instructions for easy parts upgrades (pickup, tuners, nut) so a beginner knows where to start in turning it into a true long term keeper guitar. Roll the fret board edges too.

I bought a Fender Player Telecaster for £567, and if Jet had been around I'd have bought that black Jet he showed instead by a mile! Locking tuners! A humbucker! Push Pull pot! Roasted Neck! And beautiful aesthetics! Everything my fender doesn't. And I'd have saved £267 for a second guitar! I'm gutted to be honest! Fender & every other guitar manufacturer should be worried, the quality of Jet guitars looks the best to me in the budge £150-£300 price range. I'm definitely getting one whereas I was going to get an Ibanez or Squire before! I think the name and logo are also excellent, and being a relatively new brand there is none of that Squire v Fender v Price v quality issue.....they just stand alone. I'm ver impressed.😳🙏

Received my js300 two weeks ago. Put some new strings on (9s) and lowered the pickups, blocked the trem. Just great. Lovely strat tones. Also have a Fender Strat - 62 repro, bought in 1990. Love them both. The 62 Fender Strat is probably worth around $2,000 today. I paid under $200 for the Jet. I bought a Squire classic vibe 60s Tele for around $400 a few years ago and thought that was a bargin! The quality and playability of the Jet js300 has really raised the bar at this price point!! I'm playing through a Joyo banTamP 20w amp head and a 15inch speaker cab. Compressor, tube screamer and reverb pedals. Love it!!

just wondering where you ordered the guitar from , how long it took to get ,, and what country are you in ?

The interviewer is playing it safe and downplaying how good these instruments are. These aren’t ‘beginner guitars’ but really well made and high quality ones, ridiculously good for the money they cost. I bought a Jet js400 in surf green and it is the guitar i play ever day resulting my 2 MIM strats and teles to pick dust. It is the first guitar I am not fighting the neck to play. The necks as just incredibly comfortable. For the money, these really rock and they make amazing moving platforms.

I really appreciate this channel I was looking at strats and was only looking at Harley bentons and then I saw your comparison of the jet strat and the Harley Benton so now I’m looking to get either the js300 in blue or the 400 in green

Do you have anything against Jet Guitars? Seems like it.

I love my JS-450 QTBR. Jet guitars are great 👍

I've had my jet js300 for a couple of years now and I really like it. The wood and the feel are special but some of the hardware let it down. Swapped the bridge for a Wilkinson and a few frets need leveling but if that's the money you've got I wouldn't look any further than jet. Plus I like the original logo. Also the guitars I've bought at twice the price also needed upgrades to make them nice.

Those aren't just beginners guitars. I bought a js350 series surf green strat from them and it is the guitar I pick and play the most. It's much better than my Mexican strat.

Immediately saw Lee and want a Jet even more. He's a proper muso.

I just picked up a js400 and it is lovely. No problems with the pickguard either; it's perfect. Maybe the dodgy pickguard is all part of the relic aesthetic.

I like the cheaper model guitars because they do put in some great features like the baked maple neck and on the T style guitars, the belly and arm contours which make it better. I really like the JT-450 T style guitar and I love the 1000 series guitar. I would want the 1000 series guitar and finish with that JT-450 T style guitar. I love a T style guitar with the contours, humbucker pickups and features and finish of the 1000 series 🤤

JS-450 line from Jet is amazing

I have an SSS300 and a strat 400, I love em both. Superior necks.

I own the Black Telecaster in the background, incredible guitar!

Got 2 jets. Love em

I have a 2014 ana 2018 mex. fenders ,The pickups were dull and weak.Does the Jet sound as good as a Fender? I hope so ,I replaced my pickups with buget ebay ,They are good ,Bettar sounding then the fenders.

I'd say tone is pretty important! I guess what you are implying is that tone can be changed via a new pickup set. If I could get 10 cents through to the people at Jet it would be to have some of the higher end ones in less chocolate boxy designs - more trad and vintage. Some of the series are pretty garish. I mean look at that tele -at 4.47. Who would want to play that?

man, I only wish I had choices at this price point when I started playing. I settled for crap at a same price point back in the day. nowadays, you got choices of HB, SX, Jet and many others that put out very playable decent quality instruments at a killer price. it's unreal.

I want the jt-350 in black!

I have the JT300 and JS400 models and they are great guitars even at the budget price range. I really like that JT350 too. Just to add that I got both of these guitars for a combined price of less than £400 GBP. Superb value.

@@harmonyvegan It depends on what you prefer personally,a strat style or a tele style. You wont go wrong with either although I am surprised how much I like the strat style myself.

I bought a JT 350 today in black today and cant wait to get hold of that Canadian roasted maple neck I've heard so much about .Any idea how much they weigh btw ?

I've done a bit of tweaking to my Jet JS400 and it plays wonderfully. I would compared it to a F***r $3k instrument. It's the best instrument per dollar I've ever paid for any guitar and I have 14.

I hope they got better at soldering because I had to bring mine twice to fix it. Nothing tragic though, fantastic guitars.

I've had the Jet JS400 for a year, very good guitar, stuck Iron Gear single coils in and replaced the trem springs, it's been gigged and rehearsed every week, I was going to buy their Tele, but wanted a P90 in the neck, so bought another brand, fazley, again great value, but the Jet has a better neck, give me the option on the Tele, Jet Guitars, I liked the original logo btw. fret markers, prefer block, the black dots are hard to see on dark stages. The neck is brilliant!

Bought my JS400 a year ago and it has one of the best necks that I have ever played, absolutely love to play it about to buy the JT300 in Lake placid blue... I just know it's gonna play great

I bought a JS300 having watched Dave Simpsons review of one....and quiet frankly for a sub £200 guitar it is an Awesome piece of kit...I have also bought the JT350 Telecaster Shape one...and that one has made me leave my fender in its case., neither guitars needed setting up...and like everyone else i put on my own personal type of strings (ernies). Do check one of these guitars out...

I have 2 jets - the 450 looks nothing like on the pictures and has minor flaws (one locking tuner was bent, binding not perfect,...). The 350 made my fingers black for a few months. I love both guitars. For that price, an absolute steal. I wish they'd change the pictures on the JS450. Other than that: get one!

I really like the old logo. Kinda different. New one is just bland.

Three strings and after you practise you can get three more for christmas like Paul Gilbert said last year 😀

I´ve just received a JS-400, brand new purchase from Kytary CZ, impeccably packaged for safe delivery. I ordered an Olympic White but it came greenish-yellowish white. I was thinking about returning it because of the color but... zap! magic spell! shazam! Oh My Goodness...... something zapped me right there and made me forget the Olympians. What a neck!! What a fretboard! I would never ever give or lend or sell or return such a beauty. Who engineered /crafted this? It seems they have THE chinese wood wizard who polishes it by rubbing nanocrystals until it looks like silk. I LOVE the greenish white color! Who cares? I started playing and I sounded Eric Claptonish right away!

The question is are they worth the money? I would have to say absolutely. We all know playability is first and foremost when learning. Once you play some you get sucked into the vortex of special tone woods and gadgets. And then......we spent a lot more money LOL.

I love this channel. Nothing like holding people's feet to the fire when it comes to quality control. Keep doing what you're doing boss.

Always hated Strats, can’t give a rationale explanation, just always have! Anyway, I Bought a JS400 after a few beers one night to Mod! after watching some modding videos on KZread However turns out I really love it, unbelievable build quality, and them pickups are not like your standard strat shit! So even if you don’t dig the strat ting, just go buy one, for £160 notes you won’t regret it!!!

Same company that makes Flight ukuleles I believe.

Thanks to Jet I was able to buy a lefty t style guitar as my first non Gibson style guitar and it's real good once I put a decent set of strings on it. I actually raised the action that was super low when I bought it because I have large hands and fingerpick heavily.

I made a belly cut on it using a belt sander and rattle can black over it, body has sunburst as in this video but sides are black.

Just one problem nobody sells the in the US except middle men who sell them for a lot more

I'm interested in them for the shredders heel. I've been wanting a San Dimas (strat body) with a dinky neck heel join (sculpted) for forever... but noone does it! Schecter come close, with their Sun Valley Shredder, but they eff with body a bit...and further warp its' look by sticking a 24 fret neck on it. It's important to me that the strat body shape is exact to fender. Just because..... y'know, it's the one you've desired since childhood. 🤷‍♂️ But the heel, I gotta have the heel ! It's on my other superstrats - highly sculpted heel joints - an' I ain't goin' back, not even fo' nostalgia! 😤 But... I'd be happy to pay thousands for such an instrument. The fact that these are cheap, was not a factor in attracting me to them. If anything, it's a concern. On paper , some of these are dream spec'ed guitars... ..But will they hold their own , quality wise, on my rack of Gibsons, Ibanez, Charvel, Fender (USA AND MiMs...) ? Because i have found...that as i start upgrading my guitars..the stragglers dont end up getting any play time. → Because, why would you pick your Squier Classic Vibe Jaguar when you've got a US Strat sitting right next to it..?? 🤷‍♂️ They're not "the same", but they're similar enough (those single coils) that the quality difference becomes the deciding factor in axe selection, on any guven Tuesday..🤷‍♂️

1:30 looool

Gotta drop the ceramic pickups, and upgrade the electronics overall! They'll be winners if they do!

Bring that Andy signature!

I think compared to the review, that was a wee bit harsh 😬. What’s not done well on their site or reverb ‘store’ is higher level components as you go up in price. The only reason I know I need a 400 instead of the 300 due to the 2 point trem, is because of your video! But I don’t even know what’s on the 300 which is a shame. Showing that Wilkinson bridge also was very interesting. Details are getting lost. Plus he was nervous maybe about taking flak, and forgot to mention the neck heel cut being more premium. This guitar company is doing some wonderful things, they need some help. Your video was the best on their stuff (always the best, I love you for the Blackstar help alone), but these guys deserve some real serious more extensive deep dive demos. They’ve gotten some decent KZread coverage, but. Even just the fact that he mentioned they went black with their logo, I think that bright iridescent logo on their roasted neck turned a lot of people away. So that alone was huge. And who has ever cared about strings, ever?

My only question is how much more tone efficient are they then internal combustion engine guitars??? Wait what
