Hello,

I'm on this journey of modding strat, i saw that Eart have stainless steel frets which is Crazy for the price, but i wanted to hear from the colleagues that actually have Eart or Jet or played both to tell me which one is better bet?

Firefly is not available in Europe....and Harley Benton is radius 12 ( and very heavy usually) not my thing.

Waiting to hear.

The thing with EART is that I watched a review on a headless model that they have, so unfortunately I cannot say all that much about its Stratocaster counterpart

#

And while the overall setup was good, you're right to point out that they cannot come without flaws, but even then - you have a return window on Amazon, if anything goes wrong

#

(Unless you'd rather not take the risks)

#

Jets are also said to be good guitars, albeit I didn't watch many reviews on them

#

But they can be just as good as a modding platform, although they don't have stainless steel frets

YEah they dont have those stainless steel but the painting looks nicer on the jet's so it's a difficult one hahaha

#

Stainless Steel aren't needed unless you practice every day and hour, thus wearing the frets as fast as you physically can

YEah maybe, i really like the feeling of the stainless steel but that's the only thing that EART have to be honest....i dont like the ergonomy of their neck from what i saw, the JET ones seem to be nicer to reach higher notes so yeah seems jet it is

The JS 500 just arrived, i played with it for hours and it's by far the best guitar i ever had.

I love the shape, the format, everything.

i will just replace pickup and string tree but that's personal preference

#

i want buy more now!! other colors same model, i'm completely happy with it

#

i'm going to sell my harley benton and my sire and buy more Jet.

I like my jet ja-300 that I got for $200 (on sale) more than the fender player 2 strat I got for $800

#

I did, however, put in some $30 alnico pickups from Amazon to give it something

#

I do hear good things about sire/larry carlton though

#

if ever decide to keep it i would definitely change it to HH tho, but yeah i found what i like so this will go away

#

i find them stiff comparing to others...

#

i bought it because i went to a store and the old man was very nice...but i dont think that guitar belongs on my collection haha

#

if I get a LC ... i'd probably pick a bit higher end anyways ... but then again ...there's also Spira ... which is just metal Jet

#

I like stratos and then i mod them my way

You've inspired me, lol

Thank you!
