The Jet JS-300 in Olympic White
Vintage Vibe, Modern Reliability
At Town Center Music, we’ve seen plenty of "S-style" guitars come through our doors, but few have caused a stir like the Jet Guitars JS-300. Finished in a stunning, classic Olympic White, this guitar isn’t just a tribute to the icons of the 1960s; it’s a modern re-imagining of what a high-value instrument can be. Whether you are a beginner looking for your first "real" guitar or a seasoned pro in Suwanee looking for a reliable backup that actually feels premium, the JS-300 delivers boutique-level specs at a price point that defies logic.
The JS-300 series brings a refined level of hardware and material choice, ensuring that this guitar is ready for the stage, the studio, and everything in between. It captures that elusive "Hendrix" or "Clapton" vibe but adds the stability modern players demand.
The Game Changer: Roasted Canadian Maple Neck
The absolute star of the show is the Canadian Roasted Maple neck. Roasting, or torrefaction, is a thermal treatment that removes moisture and impurities from the wood. In the past, this was a process reserved for custom shop guitars costing thousands of dollars. By roasting the maple, Jet has created a neck that is incredibly stable—highly resistant to the warping and bowing often caused by Georgia’s intense summer humidity.
Beyond the stability, the neck features a Modern "C" profile and a smooth satin finish that feels "broken-in" right out of the box. Paired with a Roasted Maple fretboard and a comfortable 9.5-inch radius, it provides a playing surface that is fast, effortless, and feels significantly more expensive than its price tag suggests.
High-Performance Polymer Fiber Nut
At Town Center Music, we know that great tone starts with the basics. As of the 2025 model year, Jet has transitioned to a high-performance polymer fiber nut. This is a critical upgrade for the JS-300. Polymer fiber is self-lubricating and exceptionally dense, which significantly reduces string "binding"—the number one cause of tuning instability. When you use the vintage-style synchronized tremolo for subtle vibrato or surf-rock flutters, the polymer nut ensures your strings return to pitch with surgical precision. It’s a small detail that makes a massive difference in the day-to-day playability of the instrument.
Classic "S" Tone: Triple Ceramic Single-Coils
The soul of the JS-300 lies in its SSS ceramic pickup configuration. These pickups are voiced to provide the crystalline "chime" and percussive "quack" that made these guitars a staple of rock and roll history. The ceramic magnets offer a slightly higher output and clearer top end than traditional Alnico, making them perfect for cutting through a band mix or pushing a pedalboard into harmonic saturation.
With a 5-way selector switch, a Master Volume, and two Tone controls, the JS-300 is a sonic chameleon. You can jump from the warm, bell-like tones of the neck pickup to the aggressive "bite" of the bridge in a single click. It is an ideal platform for blues, pop, funk, and classic rock, responding beautifully to your picking dynamics and volume-knob adjustments.
Resonant Body and Reliable Hardware
The JS-300 features a Roasted Poplar body, which is lightweight and tonally resonant. Poplar provides a clear, balanced frequency response that lets the roasted maple neck and single-coil pickups define the guitar's character. The deep belly and forearm contours make the JS-300 incredibly comfortable to play for hours on end, whether you’re sitting at home or gigging under the lights.
The chrome hardware, including high-ratio tuners and a sturdy tremolo bridge, ensures that the guitar feels solid and professional. Every aspect of the JS-300, from its 25.5-inch scale length to its 22 frets, is designed to give the player a seamless, inspiring experience.
