A Massive New Shipment Lands for Christmas and Beyond
You like a cheeky offset model? We certainly do.....
Then there are certain deliveries — the kind that make the staff stare, phones buzz, and customers on Exchequer Street pause mid-sentence because they feel a disturbance in the musical force.
This week, one such event occurred: A colossal shipment of Jet Guitars and Basses has landed.
Not just restocks, not just the classics — a full-blown, wall-to-wall Jet takeover featuring the beloved 300 and 400 Series workhorses, the bold and beautiful 700 Series instruments, the sleek Offsets… and, most thrillingly, a handful of brand-new Jet models never before seen in Ireland. And everything in between, basses, minis, it's all here.
If you’re a beginner, a parent buying for Christmas, a guitarist ready for an upgrade, or simply a lover of gorgeous gear, this drop is the stuff of legend.
Let us open the gates and release the floodgates
Why Jet Guitars Dominate the Beginner Market
The 300 and 400 Series: Champions of Value, Playability and Style
If one family of instruments has rewritten the beginner guitar landscape in Ireland over the past few years, it’s Jet.
The JS-300 and JT-300 electrics (and the bass guitars!) — alongside their 400 Series siblings — have become the go-to choice for thousands of players because they offer something rare:
A beginner-friendly guitar that feels professional.
These instruments have earned a reputation for:
- Exceptionally comfortable roasted maple necks
- Smooth, fast playability
- Tonal versatility from clean to crunch
- Beautiful finishes that look far above their price
- Setups that inspire confidence instead of frustration
For parents searching for the perfect Christmas guitar, for teens starting lessons, or adults returning to music after years away, a Jet 300 or 400 is the safest, most satisfying, most joyful choice on the market.
This is why they fly off the walls every December.
This is why teachers recommend them.
This is why beginners actually stick with the instrument.
Jet simply gets the formula right.
The Bold and the Beautiful: Jet Offsets and the 700 Series
Jet didn’t stop at perfecting the classic shapes — they went bigger, bolder and more expressive.
The Jet Offsets bring effortless cool, retro charm and indie-rock swagger. They are guitars with personality, guitars that stand out, guitars that make young musicians feel like they’ve stepped straight onto a festival stage.
Then there’s the 700 Series — the premium, eye-catching, refined side of Jet.
These guitars feature:
- Upgraded hardware
- Stunning finishes
- Enhanced pickups
- High-end feel at a mid-range price
They are perfect for players who want something elevated, stylish and performance-ready without spending a fortune.
And now… the new arrivals take things even further.....

Jet Guitars FAQ: Everything Beginners (and Parents) Want to Know
Are Jet guitars good for beginners?
Absolutely. Jet guitars consistently rank among the best beginner options in Ireland thanks to their comfortable necks, great setups, lightweight bodies and surprisingly high-quality components. Beginners progress faster because the guitars genuinely feel good to play.
Are Jet guitars reliable long-term?

What’s the difference between the Jet 300 and 400 Series?
The 300 Series leans classic: simple, comfortable, traditional designs with roasted maple necks and solid tones.
The 400 Series bumps up the vibe with slightly upgraded finishes and pickup options, while keeping everything beginner-friendly and affordable.
What makes the new Jet arrivals special?
The new JS-500 SLS, JS-700 RD H, JT-30 GD and JS-45 IG introduce premium features — sparkle finishes, roasted maple/rosewood combos, HSS and HH configurations — at insanely accessible prices. They’re some of the best-looking and best-playing Jet guitars we’ve ever had.

Yes. Jet use quality machine heads, solid nuts and good fretwork, meaning tuning stability is excellent for this price range — especially important for beginners.
