...if we were to gain one year everytime I say "really", we'd be in 2096 ? Something like that ? Ahaha 😂 Sorry for the crappy english as always (you're used to it now anyway...), hope you're all doing well, hopefully a few of you will find anything interesting in this video ? If you have any question about the JS300 do not hesitate...😊 Have all a great end of your day ! ❤️
I'm binge watching videos about these rn since I'm thinking of getting a tele from Jet; just wanted to stop by and say that the intro was some _tasty_ playing, great job!
I got a JS400 in shell pink and you're right, the neck is bonkers good. It's not a huge departure from my more expensive guitars. Also, not been talked about too much in reviews but it actually sustains incredibly well. All around these guitars absolutely smoke Squier stuff in the same price bracket and those are already decent budget guitars. Very pleased I picked it up!
Just got mine today... JS400 in Vintage Yellow. What a great neck, one of the best I've ever played on, really well finished, excellent fretwork. I'm astonished just how good this is for the price I paid. The overall finish on the instrument is flawless, it's really lovely and I particularly like the way the body is contoured where the neck joins, it's really comfortable to play. The term is pretty good and stable. OK the tuners are crap, first thing to go and if I'm honest so are the pick-ups, but I would have killed for a guitar of this quality when I was first learning. However this is a great guitar with good bones as a platform for modding, so this weekend I'm ordering Locking tuners, string trees, a tortoiseshell pick guard, new pots and Pups. It's really worth doing because this guitar feels fantastic to play (and that's what counts). BUY ONE.
Just waiting for mine to arrive. Same colour as yours. It'll be guitar no. 23 and my 5th Strat style banjo.(my good spar say's it's a cry for help and probably an OCD symptom). I already have locking tuners and wiring loom with decent pots waiting for it. I'd heard the pu's were o.k., but might swap some from one of my other Strats. Ta.
Could not have said it better! Only that i like the Pickups and don't see any use in changing them right now (like i normally do on all my guitars). Just uploaded a video of it here on YT and can't stop to praise its unbelievable quality; and not only for the Price but it IS a serious good Guitar that could stand up against any 10 times the price!
Thanks so much to Johan for bringing this guitar to my attention. I've just bought a JS300; it's a magical guitar! I have a couple of Fender Strats so I thought I would be having to make some allowances for it being cheap and cheerful. I was wrong. Some reviews have commented on scratchy frets; mine were smooth as silk, there were comments on dodgy tuners; mine seem just fine, and I'm not planning to swap them. I was sure I would have to swap out the pickups, but I'm finding them very good in their own way, with an interesting difference to my Strats with Alnico pickups. Even the strings supplied are better than I was expecting from reading peoples' comments. It's possible that some of these comments have been picked up by Jet, and they've responded with improvements to the product. Any changes I do make, such as setting up the trem to float, or rewiring the tone pots, possibly to my usual single tone knob for all pickups/Fez Parker wiring with a blender pot, I shall make very cautiously as I don't want to spoil the magic in the guitar. I think it is really that good. I have the Sea Foam Green one and I think the colour is lovely even though, as other people have mentioned, the colours are a little less saturated than the photos on the Jet website.
I just discovered your channel. Wonderful tasteful playing! I’m looking forward to hearing a lot more. I think you will inspire me to try to get more use out of my HX Stomp.
Boooom 🤯🤯 your playing is mindblowingly good. Love the soul in your playing brother. Great guitar and very nice neck. It was the first thing i noticed when watching you play. Is that roasted maple? I have a few Chinese made guitars by Musi (Virgo Fusion and Capricorn Fusion) that are crazy good and affordable with high end features and great necks. Better value than a lot of more expensive brand name guitars for triple the price.
I bought the 400, the slightly higher end version with a humbucker and a different trem system. Wonderfully fun guitar to play. The neck feels way more expensive than it is.
@@bluwng That heel joint was one of the things that got me to buy the 400, that and all the positive reviews of the neck. I went for the yellow, now just waiting for it to arrive!
Thank you for showing the inside of the pickgaurd! Now I know the body is routed for HSS. Looks like a pretty fun upgrading project such as copper shielding in the cavities, CTS pots, treble bleed and a fender 5 way switch. I did want to know if that bridge would be the same used on a fender though?
Hoping Jet will make s sonic blue rosewood fretboard JS400. I got the white maple board, best $200 strat In. The. World! They're good enough to spend on handwound pickups, at least voiced Alnico thrifty sidegrades like Bootstraps.
Great video Johan. I've just bought a JT300 (been thinking of geting a Tele style for a while) and given the reviews i've seen of the JS300 I hope the JT300 is as good.
Hey Mark ! Hope you're well ! Ohhh you did, so awesome ! I was debating between the JT300 and the JS300 when I placed my order...I'd love to give the Tele a try, hopefully I will ! When are you expected to get yours ? Give me your feedback and first impressions when you get it ! I'm very interested and I'm sure I'm not the only one here ahaha ! Cheers Mark !
I have buy this js300 i upgrade everything hahaha Hipshot bridge and staggered locking tuner, SD Hotrail in the bridge 2 good cheap Wilkinson 60 vintage for the middle and neck, tusq nut xl, 7 way switch it’s gonna be a killer guitar
Thanks Jeff ! Hope you're well ! I bet you can't wait aha, hopefully soon now ! I remember you said by the end of this month right ? Have a great weekend too !
Your playing is excellent! Truly masterful, with all the little details and nuances with the bends, slides, hammer on's and pull off's. You make that affordable guitar fly! I have the same guitar, only in sea foam green. It's great for the money! It's not perfect, but I can't complain. I might want to change the bridge to a two point bridge, but we'll see. EDIT: "Allen key party" hahaha! That was funny! I've got a few myself too.
@JohanJoosLaur Now you have lived with this guitar for a long period - did you change the pickups? If you did - what exact pickups did you install (please state the brand and model number). OR did you keep the stock pickups?
@@JohanJoosLaurmine is white. Yeah, they're really good. My main guitar is on a repair, so my friend gave me js400 for a while. And it's so good for me, I just payed to friend for it)
I wonder if I could fit an HSS pickguard in a JS500 (I want a 24 fret HSS guitar and seems like a good option, I already have a JS600 which I like very much).
Great . It was very informative. I was actually wandering if the jet a standard fender mesurments for a pickguard replacement. And now I now the I can buy a 140 euros rosted Maple neck for my squire !!! That's great
Merci beaucoup ! Trop gentil :) Yeah the pickguard did fit perfectly here ! Just some holes not matching, I should try with a different pickguard though. But it's good to know ! Ahaha yeah indeed ! But you'd be surprised by the rest of the guitar... 😉😂
I know I’m late asking thos but did the neck screw holes line up with the affinity neck? So would a Squier / Fender neck be installed on the body without drilling the neck holes?
great video Johan.i agree totally, its great.cant wait to hear you with pickup upgrades.i upgraded my tuners to vanson locking and with my tone riders its hard to beat.by the way I think you will find the trem to behave like a perfect gentleman.mine sure does. rock on 🤘
Thank you !! Yeah Toneriders must be great, always heard good things about these but never got the chance to try any...maybe soon ! Do you have any reference to recommend ? Which ones did you chose for yours ? Glad to hear about your trem experience here, thank you ! I'll definitely give this a try...usually I wouldn't trust these especially on very affordable guitars but this one inspire confidence in a way...we shall see !
@@JohanJoosLaur I got the classic blues and alnico 4 classic Humbucker.a little big bends nut sauce and the trem is good to go!keep up the great work Johan.always informative and entertaining!🤘
Une intro qui donne le ton de mon dimanche ! Merci Johan, super vidéo (le montage WoW) Une bonne idée que de creuser de cette façon👍🏼🍒( le blanc va très bien à la Jet)
I plan to put a gotoh neck plate on js300 jet that was previously on a squier telecaster guitar. Does it fit without drilling new holes in the neck or body of the guitar? Another question I have is regarding the black plastic plate under the neck plate, does it work if it is placed on the neckplate or should the neckplate be left alone without placing the black plastic plate. By the way I'm just planning to buy a jet js3oo but I don't like the shape of the headstock and plan to change it with my neck squier like in your video. It's very helpful thanks

Hello Johan, I've found some inexpensive vintage spec'd pick-up at aliexpress, they're brand name is Donlis. You might wanna check that out, i got the alnico 2 version for my guitar. Cheers!
@@JohanJoosLaur that’s awesome! 😊I am curious regarding the actual pickguard. Will you be able to put original fender pickups/covers in the holes of the pickguard. Waiting for your video!! Cheers and keep up the good job!! 😊
À cause de toi, j'ai acheté une guitare rose ! 😁 La seule strato Jet Guitars qui avait une touche palissandre était rose !😂 J'en suis vraiment content après quelques upgrades.
Great and informative video Johan. Let me ask you, is this the only model js300 without gloss on the fretboard? It seems, in other vids, other js300 have gloss on the frets.
Thanks so much Blaze ! Oh really ahaha ! Well to be honest I've always been so bad at describing the "gloss VS satin" stuff aha, but to me it definitely feels like there's no gloss or if so, it's very thin ? Feels really great !
I've been told by a guitar retailer that all current production models have the satin/oiled neck finish - the gloss was in older models. I bought one a couple of weeks ago and (thankfully) it has the satin neck. It's a fantastic guitar! 👍
Hey Johan, nice video! just disasembled my Js400 and i see in the pickup and pot cavity area, seems to be made of plywood, layered wood...but in the neck joint seems to be solid wood....(?) how is yours?
I enjoyed it Johan. Kind of surprised that the necks are interchageable. In my experience trying to swap necks between different brands, it seemed to me that sometimes they made slightly different specs on purpose, so that you can't easily swap necks around. I tried to put a Fender neck on a Squier CV body and it didn't fit, I would have to enlarge the pocket. Tried to put a Squier neck on an SX body and it didn't fit either. I guess it's maybe something related to luck or the stars or vibes you know lol
@@bluwng Yes, they should. Ive seen other guys have success. In my case it's a ST-62 CIJ Fender Strat that I had sent the body for a refinish. The neck was here for a while, so I thought, what if I try to put it in the Squier CV body. With these things its like, they have what they call tolerances. The specs should be the same "on paper", but it was like the Fender neck was maybe half a milimiter bigger. If I tried to force it, I would end up cracking the pocket. The neck is now perectly normal and functional with its original body.
Mine was delivered yesterday - black/tort like yours. Disappointed. Crap tuners. Really bad trem setup (plate catching on screws). Pots are cheap and the knobs are really cheesy-crap and overprinted so ruins the looks. Sounds weak and microphonic. It's going back, sorry.
Their site does not reflect this, but this is their current LH models on offer: JS-300 in SFG (Sea Foam Green), SB (Sunburst); JS-400 in SFG, OW (Olympic White), SB: JT-300 in BTS (Butterscotch), SB. All roasted maple necks. No plans yet to release rosewood fretboards

Hey Johan, nice video! just disasembled my Js400 and i see in the pickup and pot cavity area, seems to be made of plywood, layered wood...but in the neck joint seems to be solid wood....(?) how is yours?
The traces in the cavities are from rough CNC cutting - sometimes people confuse them with plywood, but its actually trace of the blades.
Did you changed the Strings?
Tonerider PU ? Could be a good choice or Fender Tex Mex for hot Tex PU....
Right, first thing I do is look under the pickguard
Johan can play. Got his own sound too.

What's the thickness of the body?
on the js400 I have measured it full size

Mine was delivered yesterday - black/tort like yours. Disappointed. Crap tuners. Really bad trem setup (plate catching on screws). Pots are cheap and the knobs are really cheesy-crap and overprinted so ruins the looks. Sounds weak and microphonic. It's going back, sorry.
Bought 2 recently & sent them both back, paint applied by catapult, badly finished, control knobs cheap & nasty, won't buy another.
No left handed. Unacceptable.
