Jet Guitars JS-400 in Coral Red
The Hot Rod Hero
At Town Center Music, we love a guitar that makes a statement before you even plug it in. The Jet Guitars JS-400 CRD in Coral Red is exactly that—a bold, high-energy "S-style" guitar that looks like it belongs under stage lights. But at Jet, beauty isn't just skin deep. The JS-400 is widely regarded as one of the best "disruptor" guitars in the industry, offering premium features like a roasted maple neck and a versatile HSS pickup configuration at a price that seems almost impossible. Whether you are a beginner looking for an inspiring first instrument or a pro in Suwanee needing a reliable, high-output workhorse, the JS-400 CRD is built to perform.
This 2025/2026 model includes Jet's most recent hardware refinements, ensuring that your guitar is as stable as it is stunning.
HSS Versatility: From Clean Chime to Rock Roar
The "JS-400" designation means you are getting an HSS (Humbucker-Single-Single) pickup layout. While three single-coils are great for vintage chime, they can sometimes feel a bit thin for modern rock or high-gain leads. Jet solves this by loading a custom-voiced ceramic humbucker in the bridge position. This humbucker provides the thick, aggressive midrange and punchy output needed to push an amplifier into creamy distortion or a pedalboard into harmonic saturation.
When you need those classic, glassy cleans, the two ceramic single-coil pickups in the neck and middle positions deliver the legendary "snap" and "quack" that defined the golden era of electric guitar. The 5-way selector switch allows you to toggle through five distinct sonic signatures, making the JS-400 CRD a true sonic Swiss Army Knife for the studio or the stage.
The 2026 Standard: High-Performance Polymer Fiber Nut
Tuning stability is often the biggest hurdle for affordable guitars. At Town Center Music, we’ve seen how cheap plastic nuts can ruin a playing experience by "grabbing" the strings. Jet has addressed this with their 2025/2026 update: a high-performance polymer fiber nut. This advanced material is self-lubricating and incredibly dense, allowing the strings to glide freely through the slots.
This is especially critical when you're using the two-point synchronized tremolo for vibrato or pitch bends. The polymer nut ensures your strings return to pitch accurately every time, giving you the confidence to play expressively without constantly reaching for the tuners. It’s a professional touch that drastically improves the daily "playability" of the instrument.
The Signature Feel: Roasted Canadian Maple Neck
The feature that made Jet Guitars a household name among gear enthusiasts is the Roasted Canadian Maple neck. By heat-treating the maple to remove moisture and impurities, Jet creates a neck that is exceptionally stable. This is a huge benefit for our customers in Georgia, where the humidity can cause standard necks to bow and warp. The roasting process makes the wood resistant to environmental changes, meaning fewer setups and more playing time.
The neck features a Modern "C" profile and a smooth satin finish. If you’ve ever felt "stuck" on a glossy neck, you’ll love the frictionless feel of the roasted maple. With a 9.5-inch radius and 22 frets, it offers a fast, comfortable playing surface that feels boutique rather than budget.
Lightweight Build and Classic Red Aesthetic
The JS-400 CRD is built around a solid basswood body, prized for its balanced tonal response and lightweight comfort. Basswood provides a neutral platform that lets the character of the HSS pickups shine through. The Coral Red finish is deep and lustrous, perfectly offset by a white pickguard and chrome hardware for a timeless "hot rod" look.
The body also features ergonomic belly and forearm contours, ensuring that the guitar feels natural against your body during long practice sessions or high-energy live shows. Every detail, from the high-ratio tuning machines to the responsive electronics, has been designed for the working musician.
