{"product_id":"1974-guild-jetstar-bass-ii-js-ii-cherry-vintage-short-scale-bass-w-case","title":"1974 Guild Jetstar Bass II JS-II Cherry Vintage Short Scale Bass w\/ Case","description":"Up for sale, a 1974 Guild Jetstar II Bass in excellent condition and in perfect working order, complete with a hardshell case. Crafted in the USA at Guild's Westerly, RI factory, the JS model was originally produced in response to the popularity of the Gibson SG\/EB bass of that era, boasting asymmetrical horns on the slim mahogany body and a pair of Guild humbucking pickups.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWeighing 9lbs 1oz, additional tonewoods include a mahogany neck capped by a rosewood fingerboard, producing a natural warmth and sustain that translates well through the pickup pair. The dual Guild humbuckers are the direct successors to the Hagstrom BiSonic single coils (previously found on the JS-I), delivering a fat, throaty punch at the neck with plenty of midrange thump and growl at the bridge. The two-way Phase mini toggle delivers a bold thinned-out cut when both pickups are engaged, and it's a very useful additional texture beyond the in-phase sounds on the three-way pickup selector toggle. This Jetstar II has been professionally setup here at Mike \u0026amp; Mike’s Guitar Bar with 45-100 roundwound strings, comfortable action, and accurate intonation.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nNeck Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n-Wood: Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e\n-Shape: Chunky C, measuring .875” 1st fret, .945” 12th fret\u003cbr\u003e\n-Fretboard: Rosewood, dot inlays\u003cbr\u003e\n-Frets: Medium jumbo, no wear\u003cbr\u003e\n-Scale Length: 30 ½”\u003cbr\u003e\n-Nut: 1 9\/16”\u003cbr\u003e\n-Headstock: Chesterfield inlay\u003cbr\u003e\n-Tuners: Open-gear\u003cbr\u003e\n-Serialization: Six-digit stamp dates to ‘74\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBody Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n-Wood: Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e\n-Pickups: Guild humbucker x2 (baseplates pencil-dated 10-17-73 and 5-6-74)\u003cbr\u003e\n-Controls: Volume x2, Tone x2, Phase mini-toggle, three-way pickup selector\u003cbr\u003e\n-Harness: Stackpole pots date to the 22nd week of ‘73, (one replacement pot, bridge Tone)\u003cbr\u003e\n-Hardware: Bridge with rosewood saddles\u003cbr\u003e\n-Plastics: “G” reflector cap knobs\u003cbr\u003e\n-Serialization: Oval label on inside control cavity cover\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe gloss Cherry finish presents extremely cleanly, with wear limited to some minor dings and finish scratches.
