Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built around a chambered mahogany body with a maple top, this single-cut Jet pairs depth in the low and midrange with a smooth upper end. Its two Black Top Filter'Tron pickups cover punchier sounds through clearer, brighter settings, while separate pickup volumes let you balance the two voices before using the master tone and volume controls. The Bigsby-equipped, 24.6-inch-scale design gives players a distinct Jet configuration with 22 frets and a set-in mahogany neck.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Dialing pickup blends and overall tone from the guitar during rehearsals, recording, or stage changes.
- Players wanting chambered mahogany construction, a maple top, and Black Top Filter'Tron pickups in one single-cut guitar.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
