Lawd have mercy! An absolutely killer example of the JS400 Electric Guitar in Sea Foam Green, sporting a hum bucker in the bridge making this a genuine do it all guitar.
With a lightweight and resonant Basswood body, combined with a Roasted Canadian Maple neck / fretboard, the Jet JS-400 gets off to a very good start. This guitar really has looks to die for, with a rich gloss finish showing off the Sea Foam Green body and Roasted neck to full effect. Aged plastic knobs and pickup covers give it a vintage look which complements the caramel hue of the neck and multi-ply Parchment pickguard.
In terms of playing ergonomics, the JS-400 is immediately comfortable for the modern guitarist, coming with a Modern “C”-shaped neck profile and 9.5” radius fretboard. Jet have gone to extra lengths to improve playing comfort, with an extra contour added to the lower body cutaway to ease upper-fret action, as well as a plate-less sculpted neck heel.
In terms of hardware, the 2-point vintage-style synchonised tremolo with pop-in trem arm is a fantastic feature at the price, while chrome closed-gear tuners provide precise and accurate tuning. The bone nut ensures that all vibrations from the strings are transferred to the three ceramic pickups. These are controlled via volume / tone knobs and 5-way switch layout.
The Jet JS-400 in Sea Foam Green is the ideal starter guitar, significantly outshooting its price bracket in terms of features and specs. It’ll also appeal to seasoned guitarists and “tweakers” looking for an instrument to tinker with and mod at very little cost. A winner all around.
