Not really "hard economic times" when people are buying cars worth more than what I paid for my house, and they are affording it. Naw, folks just don't care to be ripped off by the big name manufacturers anymore.
Thanks! Yeah, it really is a great guitar, I'm looking forward to making a more in depth video about it. Really cool that you noticed Black Rose! Thanks again for the comment!
I'm digging this thing, I can't say I'm loving those pickups considering the intended use case, but that's a minor thing. Also hearing quite a lot of buzz with this one even on lower gain, almost sounds like single coils
Yeah I need to investigate these pickups further! Listening back it could absolutely be 60 cycle hum, so I might need to check the wiring. Thanks for the comment!
Hey Jake - another great vid - thanks!! Wonder, how would you rate it in comparison to that other budget guitar you really like - the Fazley Outlaw Sherriff Plus.......?? Thanks for any comments! 🤘
What's the back of the neck like? Is it just a satin wood finish? I had the HB version and sold it because I hated the sticky matte paint on the neck, this is an infinitely better spec instrunent. Personally I think you throw a pair of Tonerider or Irongear in here and have a killer instrument for under £400. I love the fact it hasn't got active pickups because it makes for a more straightforward swap when it comes to changing pickups, you don't immediately need to replace pots and everything unless you feel like it.
Yeah I totally get what you mean. I think I’m gonna try sanding the finish off the back of my HB version, it really ruins the feel. No sticky finish on the Jet, feels like a lightly oiled, very thin satin finish. Totally different level to the HB. Yeah I agree about preferring the passive pickups. I’m not sure if the bridge is grounded on the HB versions because they’re using active pickups, so that could be another headache when converting it from active to passive. Thanks for the comment!
@@JakeLeighGuitar The neck on these Jet guitars just seems levels above everything else in a similar price range other than the Harley Benton Fusion series when they're using roasted necks too.
I have the Harley Benton version. I've had to change the bridge, tuners, nut and pickups. Not to mention the 3-way selector switch so basically everything. The only thing good about the Harley benton version is the esthetics. Just ordered the JET so let's see if it's any better.
How do you feel with the jet?? I own an H.B. and ok, is afforfable, but terrible... I prefer the squier. Now i wanna buy a jet, what do you think about jet ?
I'd honestly rather Richlite than rosewood at this point. I live in a part of Canada where the humidity fluctuates wildly over the year, and keeping my house at a steady level is a nightmare. I'd rather just not have to deal with the annual "okay what needs filing" routine at all. But yeah that looks sick. Do wish it was fully blacked out, but meh not the end of the world.
I would really love more companies to experiment with Richlite and other composites too. I can see why they avoid it though, knowing how guitarists are! Thanks for the comment!
I can't understand why almost all of you have To Put background music blasting. It'd be much nicer To be able To hear and concentrate better for what's said and all. 😊 Thank's for the video.
Affordable well made guitars are taking over.... in hard economic times a lot more people will buy these than premium stuff for sure 🎸
It's true! It's nice to know you don't have to spend thousands for something decent.

Really nice, this goes on the list. Also thumbs up on rocking the Black Rose! Cheers from Sweden

Love Jet guitars.
Same!! I haven’t played a bad one yet 😊
Oh yes! A Jet Guitar! Glad you like playing Jail Break too! Sounds really good!
Thanks man! Looking forward to really putting this guitar through it's paces!
@@JakeLeighGuitar Awesome, I can't wait!

Please do a follow up I’m really considering getting one and I’d love to hear it played say finger pick style
Hi, i own the harley benton replica, and is terrible, is this better ?

Which one would be better to choose, is this op the jj350?
It's like, how much more black could this be? And the answer is none. None more black.
Simple. Beautiful. Classic. Also, looks like Death.
Can you do a video with it down tuned?
In my full review I’ll definitely do some lower tuned playing 😊 thanks for the comment!

@@JakeLeighGuitar Have you had a chance to play a Ruf yet? 100% composite materials. Really intriguing. Also really expensive lol
shame it doesn't have a tone knob on it tbh, idk why though? would probs need a few minor upgrades to be an excellent guitar in general.
