Also, did somebody lose a cat.......?
Jet Guitars have been taking the world by storm, offering glorious guitars at prices that won’t require you to sell your soul (unless you want to, obviously...I know a good crossroads....) to afford. Here at Musicmaker, we’re all about the perfect mix of playability, tone, taste and flavour. So, we gathered our most opinionated, guitar-obsessed staff members, plied them with strong coffee, and told them to duke it out over the top Jet guitars in-store right now.
After much passionate debate, a few near-heated exchanges, and one absolutely necessary argument over neck feel, we landed on a definitive top five. If you’re looking for a Jet Guitar that’ll turn heads, melt faces, and feel like an extension of your own arms, like guitar shaped arms attached to your own arms but in a good way, get in to Dublin city and check these out. For now, here's the list.
5. Jet JS-407 Black – The 7-String Beast
Coming in at number five, the JS-407 is the undisputed weapon of choice for the shred-hungry, the riff-obsessed, and those who like their music tuned lower than the average submarine. This 7-string monster is all about power, punch, and possibilities. With its basswood body, roasted Canadian maple neck, and rosewood fretboard, it delivers a sound that’s deep, articulate, and aggressive.
The dual ceramic humbuckers in this beast? Oh, they’re not here to mess around. They spit out a tone that’s tight and controlled, but with enough edge to cut through even the heaviest mix. And let’s not forget the matte black finish, which gives it that stealthy, no-nonsense, "I may or may not summon thunder with this guitar" kind of vibe. If you’re venturing into djent, metal, or just want to experiment with extended range playing, this one’s a no-brainer.
4. Jet JT-350 Black – The Twang Machine
The JT-350 Black is what happens when classic design meets modern refinement. This is a guitar that could sit just as comfortably in a smoky blues club as it could in a modern indie setlist. It's got that basswood body, a smooth and snappy roasted maple neck, and a rosewood fretboard that practically begs you to dig in and bend those notes like your life depends on it.
Where the JT-350 really shines is in its HS pickup configuration—that’s a single-coil at the bridge for that signature twang and a humbucker at the neck for warmth and depth. This means you can go from a biting, country-fried snap to a thick, creamy lead tone in an instant. Versatile? You bet. Sleek and stylish in black? Absolutely.
This is a workhorse of a guitar, perfect for players who need an instrument that’ll handle everything from soul-drenched solos to crunchy, riff-laden rhythms.
3. Jet JS-400 Black – The Rock ‘n’ Roll Swiss Army Knife
At number three, we have the JS-400 Black, a guitar that delivers so much versatility, it’s practically cheating. It’s got a basswood body, a roasted maple neck, and a rosewood fretboard—are we sensing a theme here? But the real magic is in the HSS pickup configuration, giving you that classic Strat-style versatility with a bit of extra grunt at the bridge.
Need glassy, shimmering cleans? Done. Need a searing lead tone that’ll make people’s hair stand on end? Easy. Need a solid, dependable rhythm tone for everything from funk to hard rock? You got it. Throw in a tremolo bridge for all your whammy-bar antics, and you’ve got a guitar that does it all while looking absolutely killer in black.
2. Jet JJ-350 Green – The Offset Showstopper
Now, if you’re the kind of player who likes to stand out—both visually and sonically—then the JJ-350 Green is your new best friend. This offset beauty just looks incredible, with its deep green finish that screams vintage cool while keeping things modern where it counts.
But it’s not just about looks. With a dual-humbucker setup, this guitar oozes rich, warm tones that can go from bluesy sweetness to full-throttle rock fury. The fixed bridge means rock-solid tuning stability, and the roasted maple neck ensures smooth playability. Whether you’re playing tight funk rhythms, slamming out grungy power chords, or going full-on psychedelic with soaring leads, the JJ-350 is ready to handle it all with serious style.
1. Jet JS-700 Matte Black – The King of Cool
And here we are—the JS-700 Matte Black, the number one Jet Guitar in Musicmaker right now. This is the one that had our staff collectively nodding in agreement, the one that just feels right in your hands the moment you pick it up.
First off, the matte black finish—it’s sleek, it’s smooth, it’s effortlessly cool. But this guitar isn’t just a looker; it’s got the tone and feel to back it up. The HH pickup configuration gives you thick, powerful tones with a warmth that works beautifully for everything from heavy rock to bluesy lead work. The fixed bridge keeps tuning rock-solid, and the roasted maple neck with a rosewood fretboard makes for one of the most comfortable playing experiences you could ask for.
It’s modern, it’s classic, it’s versatile, and it’s got just the right amount of attitude. The JS-700 is the kind of guitar you pick up, fall in love with, and never want to put down.
