A "plug and play" travel electric guitar for hassle-free playing
Designed in the spirit of modern travel guitars, the Jet Black focuses on the essentials: a compact instrument designed to retain familiar playing sensations. Its simple and sturdy construction, combined with a bolt-on maple neck, makes it an easy-to-live-with electric guitar for everyday use. Ideal for travel, regular practice at home, or as a second guitar always ready to plug in.
For whom and in which styles?
This guitar is aimed at beginners who want a clear electric guitar that's easy to handle, as well as intermediate players looking for a reliable travel format to work with a small amp. Its short 20.7" / 527 mm scale length improves comfort, reduces stretches, and encourages fast playing, especially enjoyable for rhythm and power chords. It suits rock, blues, punk, and more broadly all styles benefiting from a compact, defined, and efficient humbucker.
Sound
The poplar body offers a balanced sound with present mids and consistent response: an excellent choice for a practical and mobile guitar. The maple neck provides precision in attack and a very "electric" feel under the fingers. The mini humbucker delivers a comfortable output level, rich chord density, and good definition in arpeggios, while limiting background noise. Finally, the Tune-O-Matic style bridge combined with the string-through-body design contributes to longer note sustain and better stability, appreciated in both rhythm and lead playing.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To stay true to the original setup, a set of electric strings in gauge 12-54 is recommended. A clip-on tuner and a selection of plectrums perfectly complement a travel setup dedicated to practice.
