      Sanyo is a name that i well remember but that was in the 70/80's.

      Hey Steve, yeah that maple really adds weight to a guitar. That's why I have come to appreciate veneers since they look great and really don't add to the weight overall.

      With the rolled edges does the high E string sometimes slip off the fret board? Also how was the guitar playability wise? Action , dead notes , rough frets...really important stuff that people watching want to know. Anyways really glad I found your channel , Subbed ,great review and personality!

      @@justice100forwin2 Thank ya for the sub mate 😃🙏 and welcome to the channel 👋.
      And yeah Soz, I should have mentioned more about the playability etc. I took it for granted as all the Jet's have the same neck profile, and I've reviewed a lot of them. My bad. Also the vid was already over 20mins. It could have been shorter if i removed the daft jokes tho 😂🙈
      But anyway... It comes stock with 10's and around 1.8mm action/relief at the 12th fret. A bit high and tough for me, but I've resolved this on all my other Jets with a set of 9-42's and tweaking the action. Fretwork is solid, zero dead spots.
      Re the rolled fretBOARD edges, it's very slight, and not to be confused with the actual frets, like the "ball end" frets on the EART's, or Harley Benton ST Modern. I've also never experienced slippage on any of those, but I suppose it maybe depends on your playing style, like if you have a very wide agressive vibrato etc? 🤷‍♂

      Soz - It's a bit of a running joke on the channel, where I pretend there are ludicrous celebrity signature model guitars (Usually people who don't even play guitar), then I purposely use the wrong names/pics... for fun 🙈 I know it's really stupid, but it kinda makes the "Specs" portion of the vid a bit more fun - for me! 😂🙈
      Apologies again - Here's another example:

    I have a Jet JT-300, overall not a bad guitar, it's a Rosewood neck which is my thing, it does have a horrible string buzz somewhere that I just can't get rid of, although that's not enough to sell it, especially as I'd get peanuts for it.
    Plus it was a present from my wife, so I wouldn't anyway lol.
    The neck is the best bit about it.
    Jet didn't really want to know about the issue, they did say send it back, but it was bought from Bax music who just distribute them, they don't repair/replace them, so it would've had to go back to Holland, and for a £159 guitar it wasn't worth it.
    Will I spend £500 on another Jet, maybe, bit not yet, got my eye on a Player 2 Tele.

      I'd have a tech look at your neck, might just be a case of a wee hammer tap of a couple of high frets and not too expensive. Worth a go I'd say 😃👍.

    Hi Steve, you said you changed the pickguards on all your Jet guitars, but where did you find them? I have a JS400 that I'm happy with, but its pickguard is absolutely not compatible with Fenders and I'm not talking about the screw holes, but just the shape; how did you do it?
    Thanks

    • @stevecassidyguitar
      @stevecassidyguitar  2 місяці тому +1

      Hullo mate! Loooong story... grab a cuppa ☕😜👍
      So basically, I had a few Jet JS400's and a few Fazley Phynica fsst 720's. (Those are the exact same guitars with different branding) And... I also have friends who had the same. So I did a lot of swapping pickguards between them and a few with friends, I also bought a used HSS loaded Jet pickguard off eBay. I also covered a JS300 pickguard in "Fablon" but that didn't work out too great. and I even bought another used JS400 (sunburst) I didn't need just for the tort pickguard! 😂 - I know - I have problems 🙈
      But... I have heard of people using aftermarket/3rd party Fender pickguards and getting them to fit via some filling/redrilling and possibly some trimming - but I've never tried this myself.
      There's a guy on eBay with a store called "Earlpilanz" who is based in Glasgow (I don't know him personally) and he offers a service where you can send in your pickguard to get traced and copied with other pickguard material he has avilable. I've used his services before for an Eart and a Fender (original guard had p90's and I was changing to WRHB's) and that was a good experience. A tad pricey though at near £40 now 😬.
      I've never tried this with a Jet, but I am going to order another one from him as I'm after a black one for my recently refinished Fazley.
      I hope that helps mate 😁👍 Sorry all options are a bit complicated.

    Yes please do a vid on your Tele partscaster. Now to the Jet. Is it worth it ? Definitely. Will it sell ? Nope! It's a Jet and for 500 Smackeroons you can buy a PRS new! Would the PRS be better? Probably not but it's a PRS not a Jet. I'm not a snob Steve but simply from the angle of resale value it's a no go. Gold hardware looks great but ages horribly and you don't need locking tuners on a Tele. Split posts do the job , are just as quick to change strings and cost much less. I love the look of that Jet and the appointments are excellent but in today's market it just won't attract enough buyers because there are too many good guitars for less money. The less you pay, the less you stand to lose when you sell. Fact of life I'm afraid, still it was great to see and hear it and I'm sure this guitar will act as an impulse for modders everywhere.

      Agree on the re-sale. These guitars are fantastic value for money and if you keep it then its worth it but they will only ever decrease in value as for some reason the cheaper branded guitars have zero re-sale value - even if modded. So if you are someone who keeps every guitar and isnt going to sell it then its great. But if you ever do sell it just be aware youll be making a loss and wont even break even. I had a Harley Benton Les Paul and modded it with locking tuners, better nut and the Slash AFD pick ups. It took ages to sell and when it did i just about got my money back but after ebay fees and postage was probably on a slight loss.

As good as any Bullet or Affinity. All three now severely modded just for fun. Also have a vintage Vox Standard24 with the original DiMarzio SD's in it which I would never mod. Modding is a personal thing that rarely works for resale. Even if it's exactly what the buyer wants he'll try to talk you down with "I wanted everything original." I'm almost 70 now and can remember when extremely bad guitars were sold for extremely high prices. Believe me when I say that today's market is an eldorado for cheap guitars.

      For example, If i was looking to buy a used, Squier and someone put a £120 Seymour Duncan Invader in the bridge, that's not an upgrade to me - that's further from my tastes, than whatever was in there stock.

Had once been flirting with the (much more expensive) Jason Isbell Fender tele, but it seems to have issues that need fixing right out of the gate, despite its high price point, and the QC on the Jet appears to be spot on.

    Ordered this guitar yesterday and it arrived today. What can i say, it’s absolutely stunning, the finish, the neck/fretboard, everything on this guitar is stunning and then when i plugged it in to my katana air ex, well wow. The rails humbucker sounds amazing and the neck pickup is a lot more warmer and darker than a traditional tele neck pick up which i prefer. for me the middle position with the coil split gives a nice tele twangy tone as well so this guitar will cover everything. i know the £500 price tag is quite high but trust me, i don’t think you’ll get anything better at that price or even more. This is my new gigging guitar without question 👍

    Woah, man - finally a dude who reviews stuff and takes the trouble to compare with other stuff (both totally and feature-wise), and who even gives us a sideways glance at other models by the same maker. This has got to be one of the most helpful reviews I‘ve seen, since it doesn‘t just drool about a product or engage in endless sound orgies. Made an instant sub outa me! As for the guitar: Loving it, except for the gol and the weight. But for this sound, this comfort and this overall beauty, I might be willing… That said, I checked out the JT350 a bit and wonder how it might compare tonally and in terms of weight (and contours). It seems its made of basswood, so is presumably a bit lighter? but perhaps it seems to lack the contours. And the sound is obviously going to be a wee bit different due to the different wood. But otherwise, are they comparable?

    • @stevecassidyguitar
      @stevecassidyguitar  3 місяці тому

      Thank you so much for taking the time to comment mate! and thanks for the sub - welcome to the channel 😃🙏
      The frustrating thing with Jet Guitars is the inconsistency with the weights. I've had about a dozen, and they can vary a bit - even with the same model.
      I've never tried the JT350, but you're right - Logic would suggest the baswood might be lighter, but the solid maple top on the 600 will also be adding a lot to the weight. The 350 doesn't have that.
      Contour-wise it just seems to be missing the forearm contour - it looks like the tummy cut, heel carve and scoop are all still there (from the pics).
      The JT350 is still a great choice imo. For me, I'd have to go with the Blonde S/S version as that's the only one that comes with a roasted maple freboard (Real rosewood on the alternative model 😃) , but I don't like the blonde colour - even though apparently... they have more fun 🤷‍♂️

    Hi Steve, back in my younger days I was a proper Tele man. My first decent guitar was a no frills white Fender Tele that I got brand new back in 1977. It seemed a fortune at the time, I paid all of £290 for it. I had that guitar for 20 years and then got an offer I couldn't refuse and let it go. (bad move) If I could have just one of my old guitars back it would be that one. I've never tried a Jet guitar. I love everything about this one but it seems to me they might have been better off cutting back on the spec just a little bit (I did say might!) and keeping the price down a little and maybe selling a few more. Once you get to that kind of price point you can be looking at a second hand something with a designer badge on the headstock albeit something with a few dings here and there. There's also the re-sale value to consider if you decide to move it on, Jet are pretty much known as a budget brand so you won't want to pay a big price for a used one. For all those negative thoughts I do think it's a nice guitar though.
