Jet JS-800 Black Relic

Coming in a “rat look” Black Relic finish, the Jet JS-800 looks like a battle-hardened stage axe, yet exudes all the build-quality, playability and tone for which Jet guitars have become renowned. The JS-800 has a simple HS pickup layout, utilising quality Alnico pickups for a dynamic tonal output. The six-saddle fixed bridged keeps your intonation and tuning in check, even under heavier playing styles.

The Jet JS-800 Black Relic is now available from Merchant City Music, online and in our Glasgow store. We set up every instrument before it ships, ensuring you receive the best possible example. We’ve found Jet Guitars to be “diamonds in the rough”, requiring a good setup out of the box - you can buy from us with confidence that this has already been carried out. Pop into the shop and we'll be glad to set you up for a demo. Alternatively, buy online for fast shipping to the UK, Europe and Worldwide.

Jet Guitars JS-800 Electric Guitar in Black Relic with Roasted Maple Neck

With a lightweight and resonant Basswood body combined with a Roasted Canadian Maple neck, the Jet JS-800 gets off to a very good start. Jet have done a really convincing job with the Black Relic finish, which is complemented by aged chrome hardware and aged white pickup covers.

In terms of playing ergonomics, the JS-800 is immediately comfortable for the modern guitarist, coming with a Modern “C”-shaped neck profile and 9.5” radius fretboard. Jet have gone to extra lengths to improve playing comfort, with an extra contour added to the lower body cutaway to ease upper-fret action, as well as a plate-less sculpted neck heel.

In terms of hardware, JS 800 has a simple layout, placing the emphasis on a paired-back playing experience. The hardtail bridge features solid block steel saddles for outstanding stability and resonance transfer. The bone nut ensures that all vibrations from the strings are transferred to the two upgraded Alnico HS pickups. These are controlled via a volume knob and 3-way switch.
