Jet Guitars - JS 400 Sunburst LH

Behind the Sunburst finish and tortoiseshell pickguard of the Jet Guitars JS-400 Sunburst LH lies a left-handed guitar that refuses to be treated as the poor relation. The tremolo-style vibrato bridge radically expands the range of expressive possibilities: slow vibrato on a sustained note, a sudden dive at the end of a phrase, subtle inflections that bring the sound to life beneath your fingers. This is no mere cosmetic detail — it is a playing tool in its own right.
The body, crafted from torrefied poplar — top, sides and back — responds with a dry, direct tone: the heat treatment compresses the grain, toughens the response and reduces sensitivity to changes in humidity whilst on tour. The torrefied maple fingerboard on a torrefied Canadian maple neck with a Modern C profile glides beneath the thumb with a smoothness that takes raw wood months to acquire. The 241.3 mm radius and 41.9 mm nut width provide the ideal space for both barre chords and solos across the 22 frets.
The ceramic HSS configuration with a 5-position selector switch covers the entire Stratocaster spectrum: crystalline clarity near the neck, a sharp ‘quack’ in positions 2 and 4, and the punch of the bridge humbucker for driving rhythm parts. The double-action truss rod and bone nut — or polymer fibre from 2025 onwards — ensure long-lasting intonation. The chrome-plated tuning machines and hardware provide a neat finish to the back.
