Classic vibes, modern specs, very friendly price tags
If you’ve wandered into Colemans South Melbourne lately – or scrolled our electric guitar section – you’ve probably noticed a new name popping up a lot: Jet Guitars.
Jet is a relatively young brand based in Slovenia, building guitars that take their cues from iconic high-end instruments, but with fresh finishes, roasted woods and player-first specs at very accessible prices.
We’ve just added three very cool models to the wall:
Each one nods to a classic guitar from history, but with a modern twist that makes it feel like its own thing. Let’s dive in.
Jet JJ-300 P90 – Olympic White
Offset cool with Jazzmaster attitude and P90 growl
The JJ-300 P90 is Jet’s take on the offset guitar – think Jazzmaster/Jaguar shapes from the ‘60s, but streamlined for today. MusicRadar even called it a “Jazzmaster-style” budget standout, praising the build quality and roasted neck at this price.
Spec-wise, it’s way more “pro” than the price suggests:
-
Roasted poplar body – lightweight, resonant and comfortable for long rehearsals and gigs.
-
Canadian roasted maple neck and roasted maple fretboard – super smooth feel, added stability, and that slightly “broken-in” vibe you usually only get on more expensive guitars.
-
Modern C neck, 9.5" radius, 22 frets, 25.5" scale – familiar to anyone who’s played modern F-style guitars, easy to bend, easy to chord.
-
Single P90 pickup with tremolo bridge – simple controls (1 Volume, 1 Tone, 3-way switch) keep you focused on playing, while the P90 dishes out that punchy, mid-forward tone that sits somewhere between a Strat single-coil and a Gibson humbucker.
What it feels like historically
-
The offset body and trem scream Jazzmaster and Jaguar – the guitars that powered ‘60s surf, then later ‘90s indie and alternative rock.
-
The P90 voice brings in the spirit of early Gibson Les Paul Specials and Juniors – raw, dynamic, and super touch-sensitive.
So the JJ-300 feels like the love child of a Jazzmaster and a P90-loaded rock ‘n’ roll machine. It’s perfect if you’re into indie, shoegaze, punk, or alternative and want something a bit left-of-centre without spending custom-shop money.
Visually, the Olympic White finish with chrome hardware hits that timeless “clean but slightly rebellious” look – like a classic offset that’s been tidied up for a modern stage.
Jet JT-350 BKM H – Metallic Black
Hot-rodded single-cut: Tele silhouette, Les Paul muscle
If the JJ-300 is the cool indie kid, the JT-350 BKM H is the rock-ready single-cut that looks like it’s permanently side-stage waiting to be unleashed.
Under the hood you get:
-
Roasted poplar body – comfortable weight with plenty of resonance.
-
Canadian roasted maple neck with rosewood fingerboard, Modern C profile, 9.5" radius, 22 frets, 25.5" scale – modern Fender-style feel with a slightly more substantial single-cut vibe.
-
Dual Alnico humbuckers (HH) – warmer and fatter than classic Tele single coils, but with enough clarity to cut through a mix.
-
Fixed bridge and locking chrome tuners – rock-solid tuning stability, quick string changes, and a very “gig-ready” feel.
-
Metallic Black finish with chrome hardware – sleek, modern and ready for stage lights.
The historical vibe
-
The body outline and control layout clearly nod to the Fender Telecaster lineage – that classic working-player single-cut silhouette.
-
The HH layout and fixed bridge bring in elements of hot-rodded Tele Deluxes, Les Paul Studios and other “rocked-up” single-cuts from the ‘70s onwards – guitars made for more gain, thicker riffs and punchier leads.
If you’re a rhythm player in a rock, punk, worship or covers band and you want something that can handle everything from clean country chime to thick crunch, the JT-350 BKM H absolutely sits in that space. It feels familiar if you’ve ever played a Tele or Les Paul, but with Jet’s modern ergonomics and roasted-neck feel.
Jet JS-400 BKR H – Black
Modern S-style with humbucker punch
The JS-400 BKR H lives firmly in the S-style / Superstrat world – double cut, comfy contours, trem bridge, but with a more modern edge.
Key highlights:
-
Roasted poplar body – again, comfy on the shoulder and nicely resonant.
-
Canadian roasted maple neck with rosewood fingerboard, Modern C profile, 9.5" radius, 22 frets, 25.5" scale – if you’re comfortable on a Strat, you’ll be right at home here.
-
Dual ceramic humbuckers (HH) with aged-white covers – higher output than vintage single coils, with tight lows and crisp highs. Great for blues-rock through to heavier modern tones.
-
Tremolo bridge – for vibrato, dives and expressive playing, while still aiming to hold tuning well when set up right.
-
Simple controls: 1 Volume, 1 Tone, 3-way switch – quick, intuitive and gig-friendly.
-
Classic black finish with chrome hardware – understated but classy, like a blacked-out Strat that’s ready for work, not just posing.
What it’s channelling historically
-
The overall shape and ergonomics are straight from the Fender Stratocaster playbook – the most copied electric guitar shape ever.
-
The HH configuration and hotter ceramics lean it toward the ‘80s Superstrat era – think Charvels, Ibanez RGs and other modded Strats designed for more gain, more sustain and faster playing.
So if you love the feel of a Strat but want humbucker punch for modern rock, pop-punk, worship or heavier tones, the JS-400 feels like a smart, modern spin on a very familiar classic.
Why these Jet models are so cool for Melbourne players
Across all three guitars, there are some shared themes that make them seriously good value:
-
Roasted woods across the range – roasted poplar bodies and roasted maple necks/fretboards are features you normally expect higher up the price ladder, offering stability and a “broken-in” feel straight out of the box.
-
Modern necks and 9.5" radius – comfortable for beginners, but totally gig-worthy for experienced players.
-
Simple, sensible control layouts – no overcomplication; just what you need to get on with the job.
-
Classic-inspired looks without being clones – Jazzmaster-style offset, Tele-style single-cut, Strat-style double-cut… all reimagined with Jet’s own aesthetic.
In other words: you’re getting guitars that feel like the greats (Fender offset, Tele, Strat; Gibson P90 rockers; hot-rodded single-cuts) but with a modern spec sheet and price point that make sense for real-world players.
