Jet Guitars - JS 450 OBL Transparent Blue

The Jet Guitars JS-450 OBL in Ocean Blue is like a window opening out onto the sea: the translucent finish allows the flames of the flamed maple top to shine through the blue, and every reflection changes depending on the angle and the stage lighting. This isn’t simply a colour applied to wood — it’s a dialogue between the material and the colour.
Beneath the top, the roasted poplar body imposes its own acoustic logic. Compared to the basswood of the Black version, the roasted poplar offers greater density and sustain: the attack is slightly firmer, the body of the sound more robust in the mid-range. Two woods, two guitars, two characters — the choice depends on what you’re looking for in your right hand.
The roasted Canadian maple neck and the roasted maple fingerboard once again form a single-material unit, with that slightly satin-like feel characteristic of treated maple. The 9.5" radius and Modern C profile remain consistent across models — a wise decision, because when something works, you don’t change it. The 22 frets, the 1.65" (41.9 mm) nut width and the bone nut — or polymer fibre depending on the model year — define a playing space that leaves no room for ambiguity. The Wilkinson vibrato, chrome self-locking tuners and 1 volume / 1 tone controls with a 5-way selector switch complete the signal chain: clean, direct, with no tuning drift between choruses.
