Ibanez JTK3 Jet King Bluestone 2008
Ibanez Jet King 3, Bluestone finish, made in China 2008. I love the Jet King series, they're such cool little guitars. They debuted in 2003, but this is a version three, made in 2008. It's got a comfy, rounded 24.75" scale neck with a bolt on join attached to a quirky slightly offset body. The build is very tidy, and the little unique touches like the cool tailpiece, split guard and black headstock give it a 60s-renaissance aesthetic. The P-90 style pickups deliver the goods, with plenty of punch down low and a shimmering treble up high; it's prefect for surf, punk, indie or grunge stuff. These came in some very snazzy finishes, but this is the first bright blue example we've had: very fetching, I must. This is heaps of guitar for the cash in my books, and these are increasingly scarce and undiminishably cool.
