This bass was also fitted with the large Hagstrom BiSonic pickup, as used on the Guild Starfire basses. A similar headstock was used on the Guild S-50, S-100 and S-200 guitars. The initial Jetstar Bass built between 19 had an asymmetric headstock with a 2 X 2 tuner configuration. Does anybody out there have a Jetstar Bass with a non- SD serial number ? There probably were some additional Jetstar Basses built in 1964 and early 1965 under an older Guild serial number system, but there is no way to break out how many from Guild's production records from that period. Using Guild's serial number system and company records, it appears that there were 243 Jetstar Basses built between 19 - with serial numbers ranging between SD 101 and SD 243. Its difficult to tell how many Jetstar basses were actually built by Guild, but the numbers were not very large. Guild was much more of a guitar company to start with - and the semi-hollow Guild Starfire bass was by far the predominant 4-string product during the 1960s. The early Guild Jetstar Bass is one of the rarer and more unusual basses built by the Guild company during their Hoboken, NJ years. ![]()
