The JET JS-400 HT BL offers a streamlined, high-performance approach to the classic double-cutaway design.
Stripping away unnecessary complications, this electric guitar is built for players who value tuning stability, rock-solid reliability, and an absolute minimum of fuss. Whether hitting the stage or tracking in the studio, its straightforward layout provides a direct path to powerful, punchy tones.
High-Output Electronics and Streamlined Controls
At the heart of this guitar is a single ceramic humbucker positioned at the bridge. This configuration is tuned for punchy mid-range presence and tight low-end response, making it exceptionally well suited to rock, punk, and metal styles. By removing the neck pickup and selector switches, the signal path remains pure and clear. The controls are boiled down to a solitary volume knob, allowing you to focus entirely on your performance and dynamics without any secondary distractions.
Premium Roasted Timber Construction
The body is crafted from roasted poplar, providing a light yet highly resonant foundation. Pairing this with a Canadian roasted maple neck ensures excellent stability against changes in temperature and humidity. The roasting process removes residual moisture from the wood, mimicking the structural properties of vintage instruments to increase sustain and enhance overall tonal resonance.
Comfortable, Modern Playability
Designed with player comfort in mind, the neck features a user-friendly Modern C profile that rests naturally in the hand. The rosewood fingerboard is carved to a traditional 9.5" (24.1 cm) radius, offering a versatile surface that handles complex chord shapes in the lower register and clean string bends higher up the neck. Combined with 22 medium jumbo frets, the playing experience feels smooth and consistent across the entire length of the fretboard.
Rock-Solid Hardtail Hardware
Unlike traditional double-cut models that feature a vibrato system, this version is equipped with a fixed hardtail bridge. This non-tremolo design locks the strings firmly in place, significantly increasing tuning reliability during heavy rhythm playing and ensuring fast, easy string changes. Combined with a double-action truss rod and a bone/polymer fibre nut, the setup stays stable and dependable over long playing sessions.
