Thanks for the feedback mate - much appreciated 😃🙏

It's been installed by a tech at Agrajag guitars. They've did a fantastic job. I'll need to recheck the nut when I get back from Germany. But didn't notice anything out of the ordinary

Yeesh - sorry to hear that mate. Thats a bummer 😬

None that I can see - cheers mate! 😃🙏

Holy moly!!!! I thought I'd made it by just attending gear street.... But now THE Poo Ninja has appeared!!! 🤯🥳 I'm honoured. 😃🙏

@@stevecassidyguitar I’m watching through Bagheera’s eye . Muhahaha

I tried the original player series HSS. Very good, but I prefer some of the cheaper alternatives these days. A Jet JS400 with a couple of minor upgrades is a Fender Killer imo 😁👌 I'd still like to try the HSS player ii tho

😜 Thanks mate 😃🙏

Funny you should mention.... I've just had stainless steel frets installed on my Jet JS400. I do not regret it! 😃👌

@@stevecassidyguitar hell yeah

Cheers mate! Yes indeed super shiney & smooth! 😃👌 Thanks again for the Agrajag recommendation 😎👌

😂🤣👌

It's today! 😃 I'm on the road now, on the 2nd bus to the airport after the first one broke down - great start 😂👍 It's Henning Pauly's @eytschpi42 KZfaqr/brand/trade show thing at his house 😃 If I planned better I could have added a day to try and fit in Thomann, but there won't be time this week ☹️

@@stevecassidyguitar Henning is a lot of fun. Enjoy yourself! 👍🎸🎶😊

Cheers luv! 😘 Cannae wait 😃 On the road now. On the 2nd bus already, first one broke down - great start! 😂🙈

@@stevecassidyguitar jeez!! All the best 👌

I will never try to stop you - Have fun mate! 😃👍

Thank ya kindly mate! It's travel day today 🧳✈️ Exciting times!😃👍

Henning loves Puddy Tats ! 😻😻

Bless you!

Thank ya kindly mate! It's travel day today 🧳✈️😃👍 Hope you have a great day to sir!

No apologies necessary mate! 😃👍 Bummer about the pooch - hope they're ok 🤞

@@stevecassidyguitar little guy has a fever. But he’ll pull through thank you 😎

@@SearchingForToneHope he's doing fine! Went to the vet on monday with our 3 cats and 3-legged dog for annual vaccines, cost 3 HB's! One cat needs teeth done...another 4 HB's....🫣👊🏼

@@gearViewmirror yikes good luck , hope everything goes well😎🤙

@@SearchingForTone 🙏🏼👊🏼

😂 Sometimes it feels good to rant and get it off ma chest. Only feels good at the time, then instantly regret putting out negative vibes. My bad 😬

@@stevecassidyguitar Honesty and integrity, mate! KZfaq likes authentic and that’s you! 👍

@@derekclacton Aw mate! Thank ya so much 😃🙏

Thank ya kindly mate! 😃🙏 The whole sponsored thing is a total minefield. It'll likely be the main focus around Gear street I'd imagine - so, I'm looking to investigate more in depth and learn from the pro's 🤓👍

I know - it's crazy eh? 😃 I did a vid la while back of Fender Player HSS Vs Jet JS400 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fbyZl7WFlbnFfJs.htmlsi=G9EBMGNFdGabjho7 Not recommending watching it ... But go have a read of the comments section. Dozens of people rating their Keys higher than their Fenders. Even a couple of people with custom shops! 🤯

@@stevecassidyguitar I’ve seen this video! Matter of fact I’ve checked those guitars at my local guitar store, and I kinda liked them but they didn’t have them in stock (guess why?😝) so I’ve found one on marketplace! However Before I bought it I’ve checked all your videos as they are objectively the most complete reviews on YT! I’ve had a mim standard strat (MY 2010) with the N3 noiseless set I’ve put a lot of effort to make this guitar to an enjoyable playing level!! They definitely they don’t even come close when it comes to comparing them!

@@tony_dms350 wow! High praise indeed mate! Both for Jets and my wee vids 😜 Thank ya kindly sir 😃🙏

@@stevecassidyguitar I’m just telling the facts! You’re welcome my friend keep up the good work and keep on pickin!!!!🔥🤘🏻

Thank ya kindly mate 🙏 Welcome to the channel 😃 I recognise your username from somewhere else... Another livestream perhaps? 🤷‍♂️ Anyway... Cheers 🍻

Awesome! How appropriate 😆👌 Cheers mate 😃👍

@@stevecassidyguitar💯! Clicked like to make it 44! 🙂👍

@@derekclacton Legend! Thank ya mate! 😃🙏

It's uncanny! 😂👍

@@stevecassidyguitar enjoy your time away. I missed the stream and watched catchup due to overtime commitments. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Ah... Bummer. Well hopefully you enjoyed the process 😃🤞 I still prefer the JS400 for the roasted maple fretboard (just in case I didn't mention that 8 times 😜)

Ha! Not far off eh? 😂🤓 Wanted to get something close to the fake ones I'm already wearing 😜

Nice one, really enjoyed it as well.

@@gedellis701 Aw Thank ya mate! It was a bit easier with the topic and gave me time for more rants 😂 Got a lot off ma chest tonight 😂👍

Seems like a fair trade to me 😜👌

Ha! Glad I'm not the only one that thinks it's a bit off 😜👍

I mentioned in the individual review of the ST Modern that this one does not stay in tune. I don't think locking tuners are Lazy. they're definitely more convenient, but for me, they're a godsend if I break a string at a gig and need to change it rapid 😁👍 I've never made any claims they're better for holding tuning 🤷‍♂️

@@stevecassidyguitar yes ...i agree with what youve stated in your response..as far as breakin string at gig ,i always had another ax .for me anyhow, if it wont hold tune its basically useless.doesnt matter if its a prs ,a gibson, or a player series..but i have been told that i do punish guitars, soif i get one i trust,ill refret, refit bridges, pickups. saves wastin money on guitars ill just wreck like that jet 850 and the prestige.all th best x

Sorry mate. Hard to judge without seeing it and taking some measurements 😬 It depends where the buzzing is happening too. If it's on the lower frets, could be the nut or neck relief if it's on the higher frets it could be the bridge saddle height or a combination of both 😬🤷‍♂️ I'd probably start by loosening the truss rod a bit, to add more relief (this will make your "action" higher) then try to take it down a bit at the saddles. Also if you've changed gauge, the bridge could be at more of an angle. If that's the case you might need to adjust the trem springs. Take a note of any changes you make and if they improve/worsen the feel/buzz. For what it's worth... I have all of my guitars set up with low action and there is still buzzing. But that's just the price I'm happy to pay for lower action 😬🤷‍♂️

@@stevecassidyguitar thanks alot mate, i think it worth it if im the one who set up my guitar. Instead of bringing it to my local shop. Thanks again ..

@@johnvregantena159 I'd definitely recommend doing better research than listening to me though 😂 Phil McKnight's channel is fantastic for guitar set up stuff 😎👍

Thankks for watching the catch up mate! 😃🙏 and thank ya for the feedback. I have all the best intentions of vlogging at 42GS - I'll do my very best to not get too excited and forget 😂🙈

Thank ya kindly mate 😃🙏

I had my tech do the work. It didn't need routed. But... You do need to file away about 1-2mm in the corner of the trem block cavity, so there's enough clearance for the trem arm barrel to move freely. I had to do the same thing when I installed a Gotoh 510 on a Fender body 👍 Hope that helps

@@stevecassidyguitar ah that shouldn't be too much work. I'm thinking about getting one JS400 like yours and slapping in a Vega trem, although the thought of the tremolo being more expensive than the guitar itself is haunting me. lol

@@greedbc Ha! I hear ya mate 😁 I've just had this guitar modded even further. Had it refretted with Stainless Steel Frets 😂🙈 Someone on the Jet Guitars club facebook page also recently put a Vegatrem on thiers 😎👍

@@stevecassidyguitar holy cow, SS frets? Now that's a proper upgrade! I still am deciding between the Jet or the HB ST Modern Plus for a modding platform. Or maybe scrap all that and go straight for a Ibanez AZ prestige. What is your opinion on this?

It is a wee bit thinner and flatter with it being a D shape Vs C shape. But it's not like Ibanez or Charvel thin. Chunkier than that but feels slightly thinner than a Fender modern C to my hands. Hope that helps 😬👍

@@stevecassidyguitar Yes this helps Stivi! Because basically you said it's not like Charvel, and I'm a lot into Jacksons necks who are basically like the charvels 🤣

Yeah the baritone does look cool..I've got a soft spot for Bari's 😁👍 Finally got round to filming the old chapman hybrid review, but it won't be out until we'll after the gear street stuff 😬

Ha! No worries - thanks for watching 😃🙏

@@stevecassidyguitar yeah i keep hitting near 5,000 on my watch later lmao. was going through my older saved vids to clear stuff off. i need to make multiple different sorts of watch laters

Yes mate - that's the way to do it... Go for the JS400 and convert it to SSS . Well worth it for the JS400's sculpted neck heel and better 2 point trem (imo) 😁👍

@@stevecassidyguitar Yeah thats what i was thinking. The sculpted heel and the trem is worth the extra cost of pickguard and pickups over the js-300

I personally prefer the neck on the Jet JS400. But If you like the specs of the ST modern and the neck, and you can get one without issues... It's pretty hard to beat imo 😁👍

Great recommendation for the Eart - Cheers! 😃👍 I had an Eart Corsair NK-C3 (x3 🙈) And wasn't a fan of the stock pickups either. That particular EART has feels like the same size fret wire as on the ST Modern too. I think the Fusions might be advertised as medium Jumbo - But they feel bigger than that to me. Fender medium jumbo is about as big as I'm comfortable with

@@stevecassidyguitar kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Zs5ilK6YsrvbZHU.htmlsi=nNzmCqzTgY9w4SpH I uploaded a demo of the AS57

It's all subjective innit? But to be totally honest... I had a huge fail in recording the audio for this one 😬 I recorded both guitar signals too hot, and ended up with clipping on all the sound samples 🙈 So it wasn't an ideal comparison in the first place, My bad - lessons learned 😅👍

Looks wise - I totally agree, I prefer the more traditional strat look too 😎👍

Awesome mate! 😃👍 That's how I think of these Guitars - fantastic mod platforms. Can end up with an unbeatable guitar 😃👌
