Jet JT-350 SB R in Sunburst
Vintage Soul, Boutique Specs
At Town Center Music, we have a deep appreciation for the classics, but we have an even deeper appreciation for instruments that solve modern problems. The Jet Guitars JT-350 SB R in Sunburst is a perfect example of this philosophy. On the surface, it’s a timeless, three-tone sunburst T-style guitar that evokes the spirit of the 1950s. But look closer, and you’ll find a suite of professional appointments—roasted maple, locking tuners, and a versatile SH pickup configuration—that make it one of the most capable guitars in its class. Whether you’re a session player in Suwanee or a weekend warrior hitting the local stages, the JT-350 is built to exceed expectations.
The "Micawber" Layout: Alnico SH Pickup Versatility
The standout feature of the JT-350 is its Alnico SH pickup configuration. Most traditional T-style guitars use two single coils, which can sometimes feel a bit limited for heavier genres. The JT-350 features a Jet Alnico Humbucker in the neck position and a Jet Alnico Single-Coil in the bridge. This setup is famously known among "Keef" fans for its incredible tonal range.
The neck humbucker provides a warm, thick, and liquid-smooth tone that is perfect for jazz, blues, and heavy rock leads. Flip the 3-way switch to the bridge, and you get that legendary "twang" and percussive bite that only an Alnico single-coil can provide. Because these are Alnico magnets (rather than cheaper ceramic alternatives), the tone is more musical, touch-sensitive, and dynamically responsive. From country spank to hard rock growl, the JT-350 covers it all.
Modern Stability: Roasted Canadian Maple and Polymer Nut
At Town Center Music, we know that the Georgia climate can be tough on instruments. The JT-350 addresses this with a Roasted Canadian Maple neck. By heat-treating the wood to remove moisture and sugars, Jet has created a neck that is incredibly stable. It resists the bowing and warping caused by humidity changes, meaning you spend less time adjusting your truss rod and more time playing. The roasting process also gives the neck a gorgeous caramel color and a smooth, satin feel that is lightning fast.
Adding to this stability is the 2025/2026 hardware update: the high-performance polymer fiber nut. This self-lubricating material ensures that your strings glide through the nut slots without binding. When combined with the Jet Chrome Locking Tuners, the JT-350 offers tuning stability that is virtually unheard of at this price point. You can dig into big blues bends or aggressive rhythm playing with the confidence that you’ll stay in tune until the last note of the set.
Roasted Poplar Body and Ergonomic Comfort
The body of the JT-350 is crafted from Roasted Poplar. Poplar is a fantastic tonewood that offers a clear, balanced frequency response similar to alder, but it is often lighter in weight. The roasting process further enhances the resonance of the body, giving the guitar a "played-in" feel right out of the box. The Sunburst finish is applied with a high-gloss luster that allows the wood’s character to shine through, while the white binding adds a touch of high-end "Custom" elegance.
The 'R' in the model name signifies the Rosewood fretboard, providing a classic, smooth-playing surface that adds a touch of organic warmth to the guitar’s overall voice. This dark, rich fretboard offers a sophisticated visual contrast to the Sunburst finish and perfectly balances the snappy response of the roasted maple neck. With a 9.5-inch radius and 22 frets, it feels familiar and comfortable for both soulful blues bends and complex chordal work.
Professional Hardware for the Working Musician
The JT-350 isn't just about good looks; it's about the details. It features a traditional fixed bridge with individual saddles, allowing for precise intonation of every string. The controls are kept simple and effective: one Master Volume and one Master Tone, allowing you to shape your sound on the fly. Add in the push/pull tone knob switch for coil tapping neck pickup goodness! Every component, from the knurled metal knobs to the heavy-duty switch, feels solid and tour-ready.
