Jet Guitars - JS 300 Vegatrem Sherwood Green Édition Limitée

The Jet Guitars JS-300 VEGA SG Limited Edition comes in a Sherwood Green finish that’s anything but understated — and the rest of the instrument is just as bold. The roasted poplar body is a game-changer compared to green wood: the torrefaction process expels residual moisture from the wood, reduces its sensitivity to climatic variations and tightens the grain, which translates to the ear as a crisper attack and less congested midrange. The three SSS ceramic pickups extend this character: biting highs, a clarity of tone that cuts through a mix, and an open spectrum far removed from the thick bass of humbuckers.
The roasted Canadian maple neck and fingerboard form a cohesive whole — same heat treatment, same dimensional stability, same tight grain that hardens the playing surface. The Modern C profile glides along a 647.7 mm (25.5") scale length, a long scale that stretches the string tension and enhances the definition of each note, particularly noticeable on barre chords. The 241.3 mm (9.5") radius retains a slightly vintage curve, favouring first-position chords. The double truss rod and bone nut — post-2025 polymer fibre — complete a neck mechanism with no compromises.
The VEGATREM VT1 vibrato is the hallmark of this edition. A unique vibrato in this price range, with a travel calibrated for expressive effects without excessive detuning — the chrome self-locking tuners do the rest of the stabilising work. The 5-way switch with 1 volume and 2 tone controls covers the classic range of the SSS configuration: clean settings on each pickup, and mid-range positions for acoustic-style double-coil strumming. This JS-300 VEGA SG is aimed at those who want a clear, defined guitar tone, with a torrefied wood body that holds its shape whatever the environment.
