General

With the JS-500, JET Guitars serve up an ultra-modern yet ultra-affordable electric guitar. The solid basswood body has been mounted with a pair of passive Alnico humbuckers that don't just bring the power, but ensure that every detail of your playing is voiced with full definition. This setup immediately makes this guitar able to take on any genre, from pop to punk and even metal. Meanwhile, the two-point tremolo bridge and whammy bar support subtle to extreme pitch bending and a full set of locking machine heads ensures solid tuning stability.

The JS-500: Expensive Playability

Since good sound is only part of what makes a guitar great, JET Guitars have packed the JS-500 with everything every feature needed to ensure superb playing comfort: from the C-profile maple neck, to the snug and familiar feel of the 9.5" radius of the (more sustainable) mixed ebony fretboard. The heel of the neck has even been rounded off to allow more comfortable access to the highest of the twenty-four frets - an insane detail considering the price-tag of this solidly finished model.

JET Guitars JS-500 Black Sparkle Electric Guitar
Wrote the following about JET Guitars JS-500 Black Sparkle Electric Guitar
Vijf sterren voor deze gitaar omdat hij/zij echt schitterend is en dat is letterlijk. Hele mooie, goed aanvoelende hals, best licht is en qua prijs een kadootje is. Wat wel opvalt is dat er geen serie nummer is aangebracht en dat het land van herkomst niet vermeld is op de gitaar. O..en ook nog locking tuners voor deze prijs. Wauw...
