Guild Jetstar Electric Guitar Demo

Guild artist Trevor Menear shows you a few of the things the Jetstar can do!

Skip ahead to see specific styles:

60's rock: 0:01 - 0:23
Pickup rundown: 0:24 - 1:04
Chicken pickin': 1:05 - 1:27
Dreamy reverb: 1:28 - 1:47
Rock: 1:48 - 2:13

The Guild Jetstar embodies the ultimate retro vibe with a unique body shape that’s been off the grid since the 1960s. In terms of style, this reissue remains faithful to the first iteration of the S-50 Jetstar with a solid mahogany body and set neck. Further period-correct details include six inline tuning machines and Guild’s rare pearloid pyramid logo on a scroll-shaped headstock.

The Jetstar features a shallow C shape mahogany neck and pao ferro fingerboard with simple pearloid fret markers. Instead of its original shortened neck, the newly modified Jetstar has a 25 1/2” scale length for faster feel and improved response. Dual Guild LB-1 Little Bucker pickups bring a usable array of tones from sparkly clean single coil-esque spank to thick and warm humbucker sounds that fatten and sing when driven. The Jetstar is available in Sea Foam Green with a cream pickguard, or Vintage White or Black with a tortoiseshell pickguard. It includes Guild’s deluxe padded gig bag.

This is one of the best guitar demos I’ve ever seen, and I watch a TON of demos.

[alittlebitoflight]

Wow, some Indie and shoegazey stuff for distortion. Nicely done. Seen so rarely in demos.

[dprowell]

Guild guitars never disappoint. Never knew they made electrics for the longest time. I tried this one out a guitar center and absolutely loved it. Great guitar! Thanks for the demo.

I have this guitar, highly recommend it. Great sustain, set neck, and the body shape is very balanced and comfortable. Mahogany body so tone is mellow and thick. Kind of reminds me of a Les Paul without the weight.

[AllThings]

I purchased one of these last year. Absolutely fantastic guitar!

The sound reminds me of a certain guitar I had in the early 2010s. It was the guitar on which I finally explored the fretboard and learned dexterity.

It had a similar headstock. And mini humbuckers. This reminds me of that era so much I think I might have to get one.

y'all should reissue the S-60/70/300. The body shape is so cool.

[seansixfive]

Cool demo. I recon that would make for a pretty cool slide guitar.

[baliscotsurf]

This is how to demo..just shut up n dig in.

[jasperchance]

Trevor is a good singer songwriter, too

[nicksonthevet]

Would recommend this for blues and country??

[cristindavis]

Slick demo, thanks. What reverb are you using?

[pte-entertainment]

Don't know if I like the pickguard, a solid finish with relic touches would be the shiz on this body

[jdb]

What’s the neck shape like? Biggest problem with guilds is they’re hard to find in the guitar stores to test out.

[zapatero]

Seems to be a cool guitar ! Would there be enough space to install a B5 bigsby on this guitar ?

[enisdesevic]

You are great guitarist sir .... but I ll rather take PRS SE 245 for 50 euros more... maybe that's just me.On the other hand I have only 6 guitars, maybe this could be mine 10th... Damn I am gonna have to get another job to finance my jet another addiction :)

[DIY-wotr]

Nice demo. Face expression f.e.at 55 sec. bit over the top. Or did someone just farted.?

[harleykingman]

GUITAR BODY AND HEADSTOCK KINDA RESEMBLES A FENDER TELECASTER .

[fritzscheid]

Trevor Menar is a really great wonderfull Guitarist.
Unfortunately the Jetstar is built in Trash Country China.
The Guilds which are built in South Korea like the fantastic Bluesbird are muchh. much better.
