The JTK4 is a Jet King series solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in 2008. The models in the Jet King series were a nod to the "pawnshop" copy guitars from the 1960s[1], which Ibanez, among others, sold.

The JTK4 features a mahogany body bolted to a maple neck with a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard with offset triangle position markers. Components include dual Ibanez Artcore humbucking pickups and a Full Tune III fixed bridge with an Ibanez VBX60 Bigsby-style vibrato tailpiece.

The JTK3 is a related model without the vibrato and with single coil pickups. The JTK2 is a similar model without the vibrato and with a pair of rocker switches which activate coil-taps of the pickups.

The JTK4 was replaced by the JTK40 for 2009.
