Jet Guitars JS-500 MBK Roasted Maple HH - Matt Black

Sleek. Dark. Powerful. The Jet Guitars JS-500 MBK is here to make a statement. Whether you’re ripping through high-gain solos, laying down tight rhythm riffs, or crafting cinematic clean tones, this guitar delivers power, precision, and undeniable style. Wrapped in a stealthy matt black finish with all-black hardware, this beast looks just as aggressive as it sounds.

Designed for players who demand modern performance without breaking the bank, the JS-500 MBK combines premium tonewoods, high-output pickups, and pro-level hardware, making it a true workhorse for rock, metal, fusion, and beyond. This is the kind of guitar that makes you want to pick it up and never put it down.

Roasted Poplar Body – Lightweight & Resonant

The body of the JS-500 MBK is crafted from roasted poplar, a tonewood known for its balanced response, warmth, and articulate attack. The roasting process enhances both stability and resonance, giving this guitar a tone that’s rich and full-bodied, while keeping it lightweight for maximum comfort—whether you’re playing a marathon gig or locking into an all-night practice session.

And that matt black finish? It’s a stealthy, no-nonsense look that belongs on the stage. No flash, just pure class.

Roasted Maple Neck – Smooth, Fast & Rock Solid

A great guitar needs a great neck, and Jet nailed it with the Canadian roasted maple neck on the JS-500 MBK. This process not only gives it a stunning dark caramel look, but it also reinforces the wood, making it more stable, more durable, and less susceptible to warping over time.

With a modern ‘C’ profile, this neck sits perfectly in your hands, whether you’re going for lightning-fast shred runs or big, expressive bends. And with a roasted maple fretboard and 9.5-inch radius, the feel is silky smooth, giving you effortless playability across all 24 frets.

Alnico Humbuckers – Versatility & Power

The JS-500 MBK is armed with a pair of Alnico humbuckers, designed to deliver a huge, dynamic tone that can go from clean and crisp to full-on fire-breathing distortion. Whether you’re playing vintage blues licks, tight modern metal chugs, or singing melodic leads, these pickups respond beautifully to your playing style.

With a simple yet effective control layout—one volume knob, one tone knob, and a 3-way selector switch—you can dial in your sound fast and get back to what really matters: playing your heart out.

Wilkinson Tremolo – Dive, Scream & Stay in Tune

A guitar this good needs a bridge that can keep up. That’s why Jet fitted the JS-500 MBK with a Wilkinson tremolo system—giving you expressive pitch control while keeping your tuning rock solid.

Whether you want to add shimmer to your chords, throw in subtle vibrato, or divebomb like a maniac, this tremolo can take it. And paired with black locking tuners, your tuning stays tight and reliable, no matter how hard you push it.

Why This Guitar?

The Jet Guitars JS-500 MBK is a modern rock machine built for players who want a high-performance guitar without the crazy price tag. It’s got pro-level features, killer looks, and an attitude to match—all wrapped up in a package that feels like it should cost twice as much.
