- Preaching to those not yet introduced. Jet seems to have a better marketing presence in the EU, they distribute to independent music shops there and only have the Jet sellers account on reverb shipping from the Northeast US and Kairon Guitars in L.A. Got both of mine from Kairon.
They have a certain strong appeal to them that can eclipse every other budget brand easily and can best some Squire CVs as well.
Painted the torti pickguard that was originally on the JS300 btw. Rust-Oleum matte black primer/paint.
JS400 has Fender Vintera Modified 60s SSS pickups, Oakley switch, CTS pots, Puretone jack, master volume/tone, 1/4 blend in the bottom tone pot.
JS300 has 2nd hand Mojotone Quiet Coil 58s neck and middle, Artec GVH-2 in the bridge, Bourne push-push pots, Gilmour switch on the tone pot, switchable treble bleed on the volume, Puretone jack.
Both have Jin Ho locking tuners, full steel Musiclily blocks in the stock Wilkinson M Series MVB trems, Xotic Raw Vintage trem springs. Both are fully shielded, the JS400 has the Kluson full aluminum shield under the pickguard, don't recall if I did the same on the JS300, if not I fortified the foil shielding with a layer of copper tape.
They are great.
Thanks, brother. I hear you loud and clear. I appreciate the shout out and your time to pass this along. Like his Poppy, the grandson wants a Tele (smile) so I'll be checking out the Jett T-styles.
Search the tube for John Nathan Cordy We need to talk about Jet guitars.
He plays a shell pink $200 JT300.
And if anybody gets crunchy about top loading Teles kindly remind them all of Led Zeppelin I was recorded with a top loader.
@@oldasrocks9121 - will do.
Hi do you know if a Squier pickguard fits perfectly in a JET? I'm going to buy a JET soon but I've designed a pickguard for Tri sonic pickups like Brian may uses, but the problem is that is designed with the shape of a Squier, do you know if it fits?
@@ElIsraelJijijiji Nope! Tried it.
The Jet switch is set at a tighter angle pointing towards the neck, so the control cavity is smaller on that outside edge.
If you're getting one cut or making your own wait til you get the Jet so you have a template. Or you could route the cavity bigger.
With the Fender/Squier pickguard every screw hole needs filled and drilled.
@@oldasrocks9121 Ty I think I'll get a JET pickguard and just file it down since Tri sonic pickups are bigger than single coils
@@ElIsraelJijijiji Good plan Israel, much easier. The JS300 is the SSS pickguard. Both 300 and 400 are routed for HSS
FYI if you're doing fancy wiring: a 4 pole super switch is a very tight fit but a 2 pole with just a single wafer fits fine. The pickup routing is generous, not right like MIM Fenders or some Squires. But the body is basswood so it routes easier than poplar, alder, or ash.
@@ElIsraelJijijiji Hit me back when you get it done, I'd love to see it!
