Jet JS-400 in Seafoam Green
Vintage Vibe Meets Modern Muscle
At Town Center Music, we have a soft spot for instruments that punch way above their weight class. The Jet Guitars JS-400 in Seafoam Green is the poster child for that philosophy. While many "S-style" guitars at this price point are content to be simple clones, the JS-400 pushes forward with professional specifications that were once reserved for boutique custom-shop builds. With its vibrant, period-correct Seafoam Green finish and high-output HSS pickup configuration, this guitar is as comfortable playing a smoky blues set as it is driving a high-gain rock anthem. It is the ultimate "do-it-all" tool for the modern guitarist.
Whether you're a local Suwanee player looking for a reliable stage companion or a studio musician needing a versatile palette of tones, the JS-400 offers a level of refinement that is simply unheard of in this category.
The Versatility of HSS: Five Guitars in One
The primary reason the JS-400 is a favorite among our staff is its HSS (Humbucker-Single-Single) pickup configuration. While a traditional triple-single-coil layout is great for chime, it can sometimes lack the "girth" needed for heavy rock leads. The JS-400 solves this by placing a custom-voiced ceramic humbucker in the bridge position. This humbucker provides a thick, aggressive growl that stays articulate under heavy distortion.
Paired with two ceramic single-coil pickups in the neck and middle positions, you have access to the full spectrum of classic tones. From the bell-like clarity of the neck pickup to the funky "cluck" of the out-of-phase positions, the 5-way selector switch turns the JS-400 into a sonic chameleon. It’s the perfect rig for the guitarist who needs to cover everything from Motown to Metallica in a single set.
The Hardware Edge: Polymer Fiber Nut
Small components make a massive difference in playability. One of the most critical updates for the 2025 and 2026 models is the inclusion of a high-performance polymer fiber nut. At Town Center Music, we often see tuning issues on affordable guitars caused by "string binding" at the nut. Jet has mitigated this by using a self-lubricating, dense polymer material that allows the strings to glide effortlessly through the slots.
This update is especially vital for players who make use of the vintage-style synchronized tremolo. Whether you’re adding subtle vibrato to a jazz chord or performing surf-rock flutters, the polymer fiber nut ensures that your strings return to pitch with surgical precision. It’s a professional touch that ensures your performance remains the focus, not your tuning.
Exotic Comfort: Roasted Canadian Maple Neck
The most immediate thing you’ll notice when you pick up the JS-400 is the Roasted Canadian Maple neck. Roasting wood (torrefaction) is a specialized process that removes moisture and sugars, resulting in a neck that is significantly more stable and resistant to the humidity fluctuations common in Georgia. This means fewer trips to the shop for truss rod adjustments and a neck that stays "true" year-round.
Beyond the stability, the roasting process gives the maple a gorgeous, toasted look and a silky, fast feel. Carved into a Modern "C" profile with a 9.5-inch radius, the neck feels slim and ergonomic. The 22 frets are expertly finished, providing a smooth surface for technical lead work and comfortable rhythm playing alike.
Lightweight Basswood Body and Ergonomic Design
The JS-400 is built on a solid basswood body, known for its balanced tonal response and lightweight feel. This makes it an ideal choice for long rehearsals or three-set gigs where shoulder fatigue can become an issue. The Seafoam Green finish is applied with a high-gloss luster that perfectly complements the dark, roasted maple of the neck, creating a visual aesthetic that is both retro and refined.
With high-quality chrome hardware, including reliable tuning machines and a responsive tremolo system, the JS-400 feels solid and intentional in every detail. It isn't just a guitar that looks good on a stand—it’s a guitar built to be played, modified, and loved for years.
