Ordered before UMA’s recent price increase. We are passing the saving on to our customers. A new Jetson 2 with these specs going forward would cost over $350 more.

Meet the Jetson 2 by UMA Guitars. UMA Guitars are a luthier duo made up of Simon and Jonas who reside and build high-quality and forward thinking handmade electric guitars in Ghent, Belgium. Like the Jetson (single pickup model) The Jetson 2 is a fully original design. Each UMA guitar is built with passion and great attention to detail. This luthier duo certainly has an eye for design, though their instruments go beyond just the aesthetics.

This Jetson 2 feature two pickups wound by UMA. They are blade style single coils that toe the line between a Charlie Christian type pickup and a Strat style pickup. We also appreciate that they have a very low noise floor. The set is clear, warm and responsive when played clean; though they are also capable of delivering a P-90 like growl when overdriven.

Versatility is the name of the game with the Jetson 2. On the anodized aluminum pickguard you’ll find three slide-switches, one for each pickup and a series / parallel switch for a fatter humbucker type of middle position tone. Below the slide-switches you have your volume and tone. The tone knob is a push-pull that turns on an internal piezo pickup (aka contact mic) in the upward position.

The Jetson 2 is a futuristic set-neck design with a slightly offset body shape that sits comfortably and balanced on the player both seated or standing. This particular build utilizes a light-weight and acoustically responsive sitka spruce body matched with a AAA figured flame maple neck. The Jetson’s scale is 25” which has become quite popular over the past few years. This scale will certainly feel familiar to players of Fender style guitars but with a bit more ease when bending strings, due to there being less tension. A Mastery bridge and vibrato complete the package. The vibrato on this guitar is highly touch sensitive and greatly responsive.

This UMA is finished in a translucent Tangerine colored nitrocellulose lacquer where the grain of the wood remains visible; especially when you are up close to the guitar. Uma is building truly unique and inspiring instruments that we look forward to seeing in more and more players hands.
