The Revolution Will Be Roasted Maple
There’s something wild happening in the world of guitars right now. It’s not a boutique brand charging three grand for a slab of wood and a signature. It’s Jet Guitars — a name that’s been setting the internet alight and blowing minds in rehearsal rooms, studios and backroom stages across Europe. And now, a fresh shipment has landed right here at Musicmaker HQ in Dublin — roaring, ready, and absolutely impossible to ignore.
These aren’t just affordable guitars. They’re dangerously good guitars. Packed with premium tonewoods, slick finishes, and hardware that begs to be punished — Jet Guitars are flipping the script on what a “budget” instrument should be.
Let’s dive into the beauty of our newest arrivals.
The 350 GRR Offset, available now.
JJ-350 GRR Offset – Green & Mean
Meet the rebel child of the Jet family — the JJ-350 GRR Offset. This beast comes dressed in a deep gloss green that looks like it just rolled off the set of a dystopian rock opera. But this ain’t just eye candy.
You’ve got a roasted maple neck (yep, roasted — for that smooth, stable feel), a rosewood fretboard that feels silky under your fingers, and a pair of ceramic humbuckers ready to melt faces. Whether you’re chasing surfy sparkle or greasy fuzz, this one plays like a dream and barks like a beast.
Why it's killer: Offset body. Pro specs. Neck so smooth it should come with a warning. All for the kind of price that makes other brands sweat.
Classic looks - The T-style 350.
JT-350 SBR – Vintage Swagger, Modern Muscle
Love a Tele but want more heat under the hood? The JT-350 SBR brings you that iconic sunburst finish wrapped around a seriously playable roasted maple neck and rosewood board combo. It’s got all the chime and spank of classic single coils — but with a coil-splitting humbucker in the neck, ready to unleash those creamy lead tones.
This is the working musician’s weapon. Sturdy, soulful, and impossible to put down.
Why it rules: A Tele-style tone machine with tricks up its sleeve. Looks classic, plays like it time-travelled here from 2065.
JS-500 MGR – Sleek, Shred-Ready and Matt Green
You want slick? You want speed? You want stealth-mode aesthetics that scream ‘don’t mess’? Say hello to the JS-500 MGR. With a sleek matte green finish and roasted maple neck that looks like it was carved from dragonbone, this thing was built for the bold.
Twin Alnico humbuckers give you everything from warm bluesy neck tones to fire-spitting bridge crunch. And with high-ratio tuners and rock-solid hardware, you can divebomb and bend with reckless confidence.
Why it slays: Super-Strat energy meets premium feel. Feels three times the price, and looks five times cooler.

Endlessly gorgeous - the JS-700 CPRHS, now in-store at Musicmaker
JS-700 CPRHS – Copper Rocket With an Edge
There’s something unholy about a guitar that looks this good and costs this little. The JS-700 CPRHS brings the glam in a lush copper finish that catches every bit of stage light like it’s got something to prove. Under the hood? A roasted maple neck, rosewood board, and a lethal HS pickup combo that swings from punk snarl to stadium-rock roar with effortless class.
It’s got a tremolo that plays nice, a neck that glides, and tones that hit harder than your ex’s last voicemail.
Why it dominates: The heart of a shredder. Gorgeous, gutsy, and unapologetically loud.

For the Low-End Lords: JJB-300 GD R Bass – Golden Thunder
Let’s not forget the bottom end. The JJB-300 GD R brings golden glory to the bass game with that unmistakable Jazz Bass vibe, drenched in molten metallic gold. This is no toy — this is a player’s bass with roasted maple neck, dual JB pickups, and enough tonal range to walk through Motown grooves or slap your way through a fusion set.
And did we mention it looks like it belongs in a museum of badassery?
Why it grooves: Vintage feel. Modern edge. More gold than a Bond villain’s vault. All thunder, no nonsense.

Jet Guitars FAQ
What makes Jet Guitars different from other affordable brands?
Jet guitars bring high-end specs—like roasted maple necks, bone nuts, and Wilkinson hardware—to price points that are normally reserved for entry-level builds. They're designed with players in mind, not just profit margins.
Are Jet Guitars good for beginners?
Absolutely. They're beginner-friendly, but also pro-approved. That means they feel great from day one, and still stand up as your skills grow.
What genres are Jet Guitars good for?
Rock, blues, funk, punk, metal, indie, jazz—you name it. With varied pickup configurations and high-quality construction, there's a Jet for every style.
Are they gig-worthy?
Yes. With solid build quality, reliable tuning stability, and professional features, Jet guitars are more than ready to hit the stage.
How do Jet Guitars compare to Harley Benton or Squier?
Jet often brings better neck feel, smarter pickup layouts, and a more boutique-like vibe—without the branding cost. Many players are switching from traditional budget brands to Jet after one test drive.
Do I need to get them professionally set up?
They play great out of the box, but a quick pro setup can unlock even more playability. At Musicmaker, we offer setups tailored to your style when you pick one up.
