Classic Electric Reissue from Guild
Here is a true resurrected classic: the Guild Jetstar. This ultimate retro electric has not been in production since the 1960s, but the designers at Guild decided it was time that today's players be allowed to get their hands on this one-of-a-kind instrument. This reissue remains faithful to the first line of Jetstars with a solid mahogany body and set neck. A shallow C-shaped mahogany neck and pau ferro fingerboard with no-frills pearloid fret markers also provide vintage looks and vibe as well as incredible playability. This reissued Jetstar has a longer 25.5" scale length than the original, which translates to a faster feel and improved response in your hands. Guild LB-1 Little Bucker pickups kick out a diverse array of tones, from spanky, single-coil-esque highs to warm humbucker sounds that punch and thicken when driven. Players here at Sweetwater love the Guild Jetstar for its vintage look and sound.
Legendary design
The Guild Jetstar solidbody electric guitar offers an offset body design that is immediately recognizable to anyone who's seen one of the original vintage treasures. The body and neck are crafted from mahogany for a warm yet clear tonality that works well with the LB-1 pickups. And the guitar's neck is carved to a comfortable "C" profile that fills your hand without being too bulky. Players of blues, rock, even heavy metal will find something to love in the looks and the sound of this classic reissue.
LB-1 humbuckers with versatile switching
The LB-1 humbucking pickups onboard the Guild Jetstar are replicas of the original pickups found on vintage versions of this guitar. These are popular pickups around Sweetwater for the clear tone they emit with plenty of punch for hard rock styles. And the Guild Jetstar offers powerful switching options. You can run the pickups in full humbucking mode or engage a capacitor on the tone pots to get a clearer single-coil-type tone without the hum.
