Personalised multi-point setup included

Before dispatch, your instrument will be treated to a full setup. That's not a quick tweak, but a full multi-point setup by an experienced guitar technician who will check and adjust every single thing on your guitar, bass, ukulele or banjo to ensure it is performing at its absolute best.

This is not a quick process but we believe every instrument should go through our process to acheive an exacting standard of playability.

Frets

We start with the frets on your instrument. All guitar necks move and change over time so we will make sure that your frets are nice and flat as we go up the neck. We don't want any high or low spots as this will mean your guitar will need a higher than optimum action and potentially suffer with fret buzz.

We check and properly profile the playing surface of the frets and then make sure the fret ends are finished off properly. The fret is then polished to ensure smooth string bending.

Truss Rod

Then it's on to the truss rod. This metal rod differs from guitar to guitar (some guitars such as classical guitars don't usually have a truss rod!) and basically controls the "relief" or curve of the neck. Not enough relief and your strings won't have enough clearance over the other frets when playing. Too much relief and you'll have a high action which gets worse as you go up the neck.

The heavier the strings then the more the truss rod needs to work. Proper adjustment in the workshop means that the action will be just right for the strings fitted to your guitar.

Top Nut

The top nut is super important and is one of the two open contact points of your guitar. The technician will check and cut each slot to make sure the strings both run freely but are not sitting in a slot that's too big.

The top nut also plays a big part in the action of your guitar so we'll hit that sweet spot between too low and too high.

Saddle(s)

Another really important part of your guitar!

On an acoustic, the saddle is cut to the correct height making sure the bottom is 100% flat and straight. This means the string can transfer its vibration properly into the body of your guitar.

For electric guitars, the saddles are adjusted to ensure your intonation is perfect. We will also match the saddles to the radius of your fretboard.

Bridge / Tremolo

The bridge affects the break angle and string height of your guitar and is also responsible for holding your saddles.

For a guitar with a Floyd Rose tremolo system or similar, the spring tension has to be just right to allow the tremolo to return to its "zero point" and keep everything in tune.

For guitars with standard tremolos, we can set it to float and be used both up or down like a true tremolo or we can lock the trem block back so the tremolo will only go downwards.... the choice is yours!

Intonation

Intonation is the measure of how in-tune the guitar string is across the length of the fretboard and a guitar with badly set intonation will get more and more out of tune as the string is shortened when you play.

Tiny adjustments are made to each string where applicable to adjust its length and ensure that the intonation is set just right.

Overall Action

Once all the above has been completed, the guitar is checked for playability and fine adjustments are made. This step brings everything together and means your guitar will be set up optimally.

Machine Heads

Every machine head is operated and checked for function. We need to ensure that the machine heads operate smoothly.

Electrics

All the functions of your guitar are checked to ensure everything is working as intended.

For acoustic guitars we will check the functions of the EQ system and controls as well as check the internal cabling and jack socket.

For electric guitars, all the pickups are checked for function and tonal response. All controls and switches are operated to ensure they are functioning properly. The jack socket is checked.

Other Parts

All other parts such as strap pins, bushings, tuning buttons etc are fully checked.

Dispatch

All our instruments get the same premium treatment whether you purchase online or instore.

If you have purchased online, your guitar will be carefully packed ready for dispatch. You will receive a tracking link via email.

Happy playing :)

Description

Finding a classic double-cutaway electric guitar that breaks away from entry-level constraints can be a difficult task for guitarists on a budget. The Jet JS-450 electric guitar answers this demand by lifting the traditional S-style template with boutique-tier tonewoods, visually striking top cuts, and highly flexible electronics that punch well above its price class.

Constructed with a solid basswood body paired with an eye-catching quilted poplar veneer top, this guitar balances lightweight physical comfort against a rich, balanced resonance. By combining advanced neck baking treatments with rock-solid locking hardware, it provides a deeply rewarding, performance-ready platform that serves expanding players and seasoned gigging musicians with equal dependability.

Flexible HSS Pickup Configuration

The electronic core of this guitar relies on a highly versatile layout featuring a single humbucker and two single-coils (HSS). This specific arrangement allows you to travel across an incredibly wide field of traditional and modern guitar voices with simple, tactile adjustments. The bridge position is armed with a passive ceramic humbucker that generates a muscular, hot-focussed output, driving overdriven tube stages smoothly while keeping heavy rock rhythm lines or singing lead patterns fully defined.

For contrasting single-coil chime, the middle and neck positions use custom-voiced passive ceramic single-coils. These positions offer a bright, articulate top-end voice with a slightly scooped mid-range response, which is ideal for clean funk lines, smooth blues fills, and dynamic pop chord progressions. Controlled by an intuitive five-way pickup selector switch, a master volume knob, and a master tone knob, you can quickly sculpt your output to suit any musical genre.

Premium Canadian Roasted Maple Neck

A major structural highlight of this model is its Canadian roasted maple neck, a boutique-level specification rarely found on instruments at this price tier. The timber is baked in a specialised kiln to extract deep-seated moisture and organic resins. This treatment substantially hardens the wood fibres, rendering the neck exceptionally rigid and highly resistant to warping, bowing, or twisting caused by shifting seasonal temperatures and humidity changes.

The neck is carved into a modern C-shaped profile and treated with a smooth satin finish that eliminates hand friction for fluid fret navigation. Paired with a comfortable 9.5" (24.1 cm) radius and a 42 mm nut width, the neck provides a natural feel that simplifies low-register rhythm chording and facilitates smooth, unhindered string bends on the upper frets. A double-action truss rod ensures straightforward, accurate neck relief adjustments over time.

Locking Tuners and Resonant Fixed Bridge

To support heavy playing styles and keep tuning drift at bay, the physical hardware is engineered for absolute mechanical reliability. The headstock comes equipped with a set of chrome locking machine heads. These tuners lock the string core firmly inside the post, speeding up string changes significantly while eliminating string slippage completely during aggressive string bending or heavy right-hand attacks.

At the opposite breakdown point, strings pass over a high-density bone nut directly into a stable fixed hardtail bridge with a string-through-body design. By removing moving vibrato pieces, this fixed setup transfers maximum acoustic energy directly from the strings into the body tonewoods, considerably multiplying the guitar's natural acoustic sustain, resonance, and low-end authority.
