Thanks!

For a 14 year old beginner, phenomenal, especially when compared with the price level and quality available 35 years ago.

Sounds great actually. Seems a bit easier on the low end and tighter/brighter than tokai. For the money its hard to beat and its a great modding platform.

Whenever I'm feeling discouraged about music, your riffs liven me up. 🤘

Glad to hear! Thanks!

I've played a lot of cheaper guitars in my years 78-onwards. One of my fav cheap guitars was an Austin brand LP. (used it to record my theme song on my channel) but it's hard to go back to cheap guitars after owning real Gibson LP's (ESP's are pretty darn good). The thing is I have to play it before I buy it, and I've never bought something I haven't played. I played a lot of Gibson LP's before picking the one I liked. Same with cheap ones as well, I have to play it first no brand has ever had 100% consistent workmanship and materials.

I have one of the Jet Strats. The neck is roasted maple and it’s amazing for the money. The electronics leave a little to be desired, but the single coil pickups actually sound quite chimey and overall it’s a good value guitar and a nice modding platform.

@@Margilio5150 it’s ok but I tend not to use the trem bar very often. I might hard tail it.

It probably doesnt feel like a vintage Gibson or Murphy Labs but its obviously playable and usable. Honestly though i expect something nice at $500, higher quality than Firefly or HB for sure.

I had a Harley Benton sc550 in Silverburst, just like yours. I selled it 2 week ago, was a good guitar for the money but finally I don't play it so much and better in other hands than hangover 😂

I still can't figure out the where real secret is, whether in the signal chain or in your hands, your tones always sound amazing.

Hands. Thanks! I used to, and still practise always without any amp or gear. Just with the guitar and when it sounds good like that it’ll sound good no matter the gear.

Think you are been a little tough on the Jet mate. It’s very good for the money and a perfect modding guitar. It Looks good. Playability is good. Sounds decent. A good set of humbuckers and some locking tuners and it’s ready to Rock 🤘

Like I said it’s very good for the money.

Sounds really good out of the box tbh.Im a tele playing beginner and fancy a LP for a change of tone ,the lighter the better.My JT 350 (t style with neck humbucker)feels more expensive than my £900 Fender.that cost 3x the price so I'm a big Jet fan .A Tokai would be nice of course but for the money I think Jet is up my alley .ps how much do they actually weigh ?

One of my favorite guitars I own is a 300 dollar Jackson king V

Been thinking about getting one of these. How would you say it stands up to your Tokais as a reference point? Worth the time and money to upgrade?

They are comparable with the Epiphone inspired by Gibson LP's, the ones with the Kalamazoo headstock shape.

If you are seeking a great LP type guitar. I suggest a Schecter Solo II Custom

Very nice but at 3x the price it should be .For a beginner like me who mainly plays a tele it ll do nicely as a gateway drug LP lol.Next stop Shecter

Euge could make a "Hello Kitty" guitar sound amazing 🎸🤘

Probably 😎.

Are they sold in the USA?

Sounds great and probably plays great too! I am no brand snob, and am not a headstock snob. I prefer the one on my Yamaha SG to Gibsons! But this one is atrocious. :)

When I was starting playing guitar, the good one been a pricey Nowadays you can buy guitar for cheap, invest a bit into the fretwork and electronics and get playable guitar

Fair review man! Another $300aud and you can at least get an epiphone les paul which I assume would be quite a bit better but I dunno... I'm not an LP guy. I hate the damn things when sitting and playing.

New Epiphones are not exactly a "standard" of quality these days.

Jet Jl500 vs Epiphone les Paul classic ???

This or the larry carlton l7?

the jet unplugged sounded a bit metallic which is strange, there is a clear difference in favor of the tokai

Gibson eat your heart out lol.

If you can get one used on the cheap, it is a good upgrade platform, but yeah, as a base guitar the sound is pretty meh.

Good looking instrument... but it does sound a little thin.
