Description
The JET Guitars JS-450 Transparent Blue is a modern S-style electric built for players who want boutique looks and everyday reliability. A flamed maple top over a basswood body gives it lively resonance and a clear, balanced voice, while the transparent blue high gloss finish and pearloid pickguard keep the stage appeal high.
Playability is smooth and familiar. The Canadian roasted maple neck has a modern C profile with a 9.5 inch fingerboard radius, 22 frets and a 42 mm bone nut. The thin satin neck finish and rounded neck heel help your fretting hand move with ease across the 25.5 inch scale.
An HSS set of ceramic pickups handles a wide range of styles. The bridge humbucker brings punch and sustain for driven tones, and the two single coils add snap and sparkle for clean rhythm and chiming leads. A five way switch with single volume and tone controls makes it simple to shape sounds for pop, rock and heavier riffs.
Tuning stability and hardware feel are strong points. Locking machine heads speed up string changes and hold pitch well, and the two point tremolo offers smooth vibrato for expressive playing. Chrome hardware completes a clean, modern look.
In the box you get the guitar only, so add a gig bag or case to protect it on the go. Current production runs use a satin neck finish for a fast, comfortable feel. Bax Music lists this model with a three year warranty for extra peace of mind in the UK.
Features
Flamed maple top with transparent blue finish
A flamed maple veneer over a basswood body gives bright attack with balanced mids, while the transparent blue high gloss finish and body binding show the grain and look great on stage. This keeps weight sensible for long sets.
S style body that feels familiar
A contoured S style shape sits close to the player and keeps the picking arm comfortable. It is a straightforward platform for many styles, from pop and rock to heavier riffs.
Roasted maple neck for stability
The Canadian roasted maple neck resists climate changes and holds setup well. A thin satin gloss finish feels fast in the hand and the rounded bolt on heel helps high fret reach without a fuss.
Comfortable modern C profile
The modern C profile gives an easy grip for chords and single note lines. It suits most hand sizes and makes the guitar a good step up from entry level models.
9.5 inch radius roasted maple fingerboard
A 241 mm (9.5 inch) radius with 22 frets balances smooth bends with clean chord work. Roasted maple on the board adds snap and a tidy playing feel.
Full scale length for clear tone
A 648 mm scale (25.5 inch) adds clarity and string tension that suits clean rhythm work and tuned down rock parts.
HSS ceramic pickup set
A passive ceramic humbucker at the bridge and two passive ceramic single coils give punch, sparkle and range. The five way switch with single volume and tone lets you cover bright cleans, edge of break up and driven lead parts with ease.
Bone nut cut to 42 mm
The bone nut helps sustain and note clarity. The 42 mm width (about 1.65 inch) feels familiar and makes switching from other S style guitars simple.
Two point tremolo bridge
A smooth two point vibrato lets you add musical shimmers and dips while keeping the feel consistent across the arm travel.
Locking machine heads
Factory locking tuners speed up string changes and improve tuning stability during bends and vibrato use.
Chrome hardware with pearloid guard
Chrome parts give a clean look and the pearloid scratchplate adds a smart boutique touch that suits the flamed top.
Dual action truss rod
A dual action rod makes precise relief tweaks straightforward for different string sets or seasonal changes.
Factory strings you can gig on
It ships with 010 to 046 strings which suit standard tuning and most players out of the box.
Practical notes
Current production runs use a satin gloss neck finish. No case or cover is included, so add a gig bag or hard case for protection.
