Jet guitars - anyone tried one?

The ones I’ve played have been very nice - about what’d you’d expect from the hardware and pickups but the necks were the part that really punched above their weight. Nicely set up too, at least in the shop I was in. Compared to a Fender Player Strat and the fret job was definitely better, but the Fender had it beat on tone by some distance. Seemed like great guitars for the money but their headstock logo is hideous, haha. 

I honestly don't see the 'ugly headstock' myself. Not that I care too much but it seems fine.

Me neither but that said part of the reason my one was only £70’used was the previous owner found the logo so unpleasant he got rid of it

I also think its fine  -it does not have to be black boring logo always

JET released some limited models - I hope some of those land in the UK.

great guitars ! 

Mines got a set of fender pickups and fender wiring in. Quality little Strat

Those new ones look pretty tasty. I'm still a sucker for the black 350 Tele with tort guard

I've got the Fazley version of the JS400? HSS strat, but swapped the neck for a Jet branded js400 neck as it was the gloss I really wanted.
Neck and middle pickups swapped out for a pair of Maida Vale a3 and a4 single coils. 
Stock humbucker can stay for now as I don't venture there too often. 
This is the strat I've wanted since I mistakenly sold a Westone Concord 8 years ago. 
love it.

I had that one. It was ace. The neck humbucker was so thick and meaty.

I bought an SE silver sky two weeks later and fell in love , so much so I bought a 2nd SS today to mod. The Jet had to go to fund it. 

Fantastic guitar though. I put Gotoh locking tuners and a lollar bridge pickup on mine. 

It has a coil tap but it was useless so I got rid. 

Would have kept it if funds allow. 

They do an offset hardtail HH in the same colour scheme that is also awesome.

Tried several Jets today. Most of them were very, very good. Quite a variation in neck shape and size.

I picked one up at the guitar show. Really like it, the neck is excellent. It's a 700 series in gold. I'm going to get one of the cheap Tele clones as I miss having a Tele single coil..
