Description
JET JS-380 Olympic White with Gold Hardware
The JET JS-380 in Olympic White with Gold Hardware is a modern electric guitar that blends classic double-cut styling with upgraded hardware and impressive playability. Designed for players who want a stylish instrument that feels great straight out of the case, the JS-380 offers excellent value while delivering the features many guitarists look for in a reliable everyday guitar.
The basswood body keeps the guitar comfortable and balanced, while the roasted Canadian maple neck provides stability and a smooth playing feel. Roasted maple is a popular choice for modern guitars because it improves neck stability and gives the wood a slightly broken-in feel that many players enjoy. Combined with the comfortable Modern C neck profile and a 9.5" fingerboard radius, the JS-380 feels natural whether you’re playing chords, rhythm parts or lead lines.
The rosewood fingerboard and bone nut add to the smooth playing experience, while the locking machine heads help keep tuning stable and make restringing quick and easy. The gold tremolo bridge allows for expressive playing while still maintaining solid reliability when properly set up.
Tonally, the JS-380 features a set of custom Alnico V single-coil pickups in an SSS configuration. This setup produces bright, articulate tones that suit a wide range of musical styles. Clean rhythm parts, blues leads, indie textures and classic rock tones all feel right at home on this guitar. The five-way pickup switch and traditional volume and tone controls give players plenty of flexibility to shape their sound.
Visually, the Olympic White finish paired with gold hardware gives the guitar a bold and refined look. It’s a combination that stands out on stage while still feeling timeless.

Why We Recommend JET Guitars
JET guitars have quickly built a reputation for offering impressive playability and build quality at very accessible prices. Many players are surprised the first time they pick one up — the necks feel comfortable, the hardware is reliable and the guitars are consistently well finished.
One of the reasons we like Jet guitars at Colemans Music is their focus on features players actually care about, such as roasted maple necks, bone nuts and solid hardware. These details are often missing on guitars in this price range.
They’re also excellent platforms for players who enjoy upgrading pickups or modifying their guitars later on.
