Big news, guitar lovers – Jet Guitars are landing at Musicmaker for the very first time, and we are indeed, rather excited! If you’ve been keeping your ear to the ground in the guitar world, you’ve probably heard the buzz around these sleek, affordable, and ridiculously fun-to-play instruments. If not, don’t worry – we’re about to bring you up to speed.

So, what’s the deal with Jet Guitars? Where did they come from? Why are so many guitarists raving about them? And most importantly, why should you be sprinting (not walking) to Musicmaker to get your hands on one? Let’s dive in!




A Jet-Powered Rise – The History of Jet Guitars

Jet Guitars is a relatively new name in the guitar game, but don’t let that fool you. Founded in 2020 by Slovenian designer Primoz Virant, Jet came onto the scene with a clear mission: to make high-quality electric guitars that don’t require selling a kidney to afford.

Crafted under the watchful eyes of the Jet team, these guitars strike an incredible balance between affordability and premium quality. They take their inspiration from legendary high-end instruments but put their own modern spin on things, offering unique colours, finishes, and playability that make them stand out.

In just a few short years, Jet has gone from being a fresh newcomer to a legitimate contender in the budget-friendly guitar market. And now, for the first time, they’re making their way to Dublin’s legendary Musicmaker!




What Makes Jet Guitars So Special?

It’s one thing to be affordable – it’s another to be affordable and awesome. Jet Guitars nail this balance with some seriously impressive features. Here’s what sets them apart:

  • Top-Tier Build Quality Without the Price Tag - Jet isn’t messing around when it comes to materials. Many of their models boast roasted Canadian maple necks, basswood bodies, and high-quality hardware that rival guitars costing twice as much. The result? A solid, reliable instrument that plays like a dream.
  • Vintage Looks, Modern Features - While Jet’s designs take inspiration from classic guitars, they throw in modern enhancements that make them even more playable. The HSS pickup configurations on models like the JS-400 give you an insane amount of versatility – from warm, bluesy tones to full-blown rock power.
  • Comfortable and Player-Friendly - Ever picked up a guitar and instantly felt like it was made just for you? That’s what Jet is aiming for. With slim neck profiles, rolled fretboard edges, and ultra-smooth fretwork, these guitars are a dream to play – whether you’re noodling on the couch or shredding on stage.
  • Killer Aesthetics - Let’s be real – we all want a guitar that looks as good as it sounds. Jet absolutely delivers here, offering a range of stunning finishes, from classic sunbursts to vintage relic designs that look like they’ve been gigging for decades.




The Internet Can’t Get Enough – Rave Reviews for Jet Guitars

It’s not just us who are hyped about Jet – the online guitar community has been losing its mind over these instruments. Here are just a few of the glowing reviews they’ve received:


  • Guitar World praised the JS-800 model for its “shockingly good build quality and tonal versatility at this price point.”
  • Guitar Interactive Magazine called the JT-600 a “hidden gem” for players looking for pro-level specs on a budget.
  • Guitar.com noted that the JS-400 SFG Relic “feels and plays like an instrument twice its price.”
  • YouTubers & Reviewers have been raving about how Jet guitars punch way above their weight, with many calling them the best budget guitars of the year.





When Do You Need to Get Down to Musicmaker?

We don’t need to tell you that finding a truly great budget-friendly guitar isn’t easy. Too often, affordable guitars cut corners on playability, tone, or aesthetics – but Jet Guitars break the mould in the best way possible.

Now that Jet is finally coming to Musicmaker, you’ll have the chance to see (and play) these incredible instruments for yourself. Whether you’re a beginner looking for a reliable first guitar, an experienced player searching for a solid backup, or just someone who appreciates a beautifully built, wallet-friendly axe, you won’t want to miss out.

These guitars are already flying off the shelves worldwide, and we expect them to be just as popular here in Dublin. So, if you want to get your hands on one, we highly recommend popping into Musicmaker as soon as they arrive.

It's happening very soon indeed. Watch this space.
