SCAM ALERT: yes there’s another scam running saying you’ve won this guitar it’s fake and trying to steal your money so tell them where to go please 😤 ... So as I try to stop this the list of blocked words gets longer so if you ever leave a comment that doesn't appear, it either includes a blocked word (i.e. congratulations or similar), or maybe an external link which I don't allow on this channel. I never give out prizes so be suspicious of anything that suggests otherwise. Cheers!

I have a lot of respect for people that create a company from nothing and give people great options with guitars that punch above their price. It's nice for the youngsters to start with a decent enough guitar. If the Slovenian owner watches this video well done to you. Thank You for showcasing and reviewing this nice affordable Tele. Nice color too.

I'm not a huge Tele fan, but I do have 4. That Jet looks like an excellent buy. I agree that the big boys had better be paying attention. The days of a budget guitar being junk are long gone. I watch every film you upload, so crack on with evaluating anything that strikes your fancy! Cheers!

This is the greatest format on YouTube for guitar reviews. I absolutely love watching this channel. In the words of Paul Whitehouse, brilliaaaant!!

[onlyguitars]

Best no BS in depth and with total passion Guitar Channel! Currently my favorite!

[KoaCharvel]

I got this guitar yesterday, (also in pink), absolutely loving it. Mine sits right next to my more expensive guitars, and it holds its own.

[DaveYT]

I bought a JT350 a couple of months ago and love it !Amazing guitar and a joy to play .Locking tuners and a humbucker on mine, string thru too.100% recommend Jet guitars all day long

[TheFastrider]

Thanks for what you do Colin... makes my Friday morning long commute extremely enjoyable 🎉

[GraemeCampbellMusic]

So glad you did this one. I bought the Jet Strat equivalent a couple of days ago and I love it. It just needed a change of strings and a tweak, and it was playing great. The pickups are ok too. I’ll probably upgrade the electrics but there is no rush.

[Robert_Bubba_Baker]

Another great show. It is always your sincerity that shines through. That is why your channel will continue to grow.

[zezuntxiduntxi]

I have a Jet strat and it is great. I was really suprised.

[ianguest]

Some may be wondering where the LP's are. I believe that that many more will look forward to and enjoy reviews of the more affordable guitars such as this Jet. Great format well delivered👍

[livingabovetheth]

I enjoy all the content, no matter cheap or $$$ and everything in between. I personally really enjoy taking a less expensive squier, old 80s Greco or tokai and removing everything so it's just the wood and "rebuilding" it by replacing just about everything that isn't wood. We are in the golden age of pickup selection/hardware selection. Just replacing pickups and pots/switches/wiring on a cheaper instrument is a huge upgrade. You also end up with an instrument that is totally unique.

Ive been waiting for your review of the jt300 . Great review . I love mine and will be putting a humbucker in the neck as my guitar shop couldnt get me the jt350 . Best £150 i ever spent on a guitar . Keep up the good work .

[detthoff]

I own three excellent telecasters from mexican Vintera (in shell pink actually and with good pickups) to Fender custom-shop nocaster.

I must say though, that I use to own a inexpensive stock Harley Benton te-52 that was really really great as a guitar. It had a bit of fretsprout and unpolished frets from factory but once this was fixed it was a killer killer guitar, including the pickups. I was surprisingly happy with it and it looked and felt great too.

The only reason i am not still playing it is because I didn’t have the heart to see a music loving kid in my block that couldn’t afford a guitar (or the parents) when she got into music college. So I gave it away…

I remember how it was growing up and couldn’t afford anything.

She loves it…

You, sir, have the best guitar review channel on any tube.👏👏👏

[danielrentel]

After your video, I went to check out some Jet guitars at my local store. I tried the JT-350 and as soon as I picked up the guitar it felt like a dream. The neck is simply awesome. It feels like a high-end guitar. Thanks for introducing us to the brand. I might just buy that JT-350 :)

[jaypeterson]

Brilliant! The Jet certainly looks the part. They really nailed the shell pink color, and who doesn't love that!! Have a terrific weekend Colin...cheers!🎶🎵🎶🎵👍💕

[spacepodi]

Sometimes I go back to an earlier review of yours months later. In this case, this surprisingly. An invaluable resource, and always a good watch. So Thanks.

[sjgreaves]

Shell pink is the bomb! I was dithering over buying a Squier VI until I found an FSR one in shell pink... Sold! hahaha.. FWIW I would go with a "Fender full range humbucker" style or a filtertron in the neck and a 4 way switch. If the pots are a bit too easy to turn you can try putting a washer or rubber O ring on the pot shaft between the control plate and the bottom of the knob, might help.
