Jet JT600 (Richie Kotzen Tele clone)?

LionAquaLooper

What do you all think of this?  I'm so tempted but £500 is a bit of a stretch for me, but it's doable. 

I've always dreamt of owning a Kotzen tele but can't justify £2k+ on it and this seems to be the only mass produced cheap replica out there.  And I don't have a Jet guitar yet.  The specs look good as well. 

Mahogany body
Solid flame maple top 
Locking tuners
Bone nut
String through
Belly cut and bevelled corner (a la strat)
Off white binding
Rail humbucker bridge (splittable via tone knob)
Roasted maple neck and fretboard (Modern C)
Easy access heel joint and bottom horn

I don't even care about the headstock, logo and gold hardware even though some people hate them.  That looks like one comfortable and gorgeous T-style guitar.



ps. this is the first time I've come across this reviewer but he's very good and unbiased, and a funny guy.  If you're on this forum Steve Cassidy, kudos to you!

Editing your opening post has killed the video link.

Balls.  I forgot it does that.  Take 2....

Personally, the non-chunky neck and Yamaha Pacifica ripoff headstock are offputting... but the choice is yours.

That bloke's glasses are extraordinary.

The neck shape is pretty anaemic for me so that I would be looking elsewhere. However, I prefer a chunky neck.

I have a Jet tele,not this model but very similar and I cant get on with neck at all. Way too skinny for me also. Its in the classifieds for a reasonable price too.

Usually neck profile is among the factors of JET success story  - just feels right.

I'm the opposite when it comes to Teles it seems.  I love them but can never get on with the traditional chunky necks.  I'm mainly a strat player so my hand is so used to the thinner necks and whenever I pick up a Tele it's a bit of adjustment every time.

it feels great but not anywhere near chunky enough for me.
