Freshly inspected and set up in-house by our esteemed Guitar Tech.  In Very Good Vintage condition with normal wear for an instrument of this age, including scratches, dings, edgewear, and natural aging of parts and finish.  This early Hoboken-built instrument is completely original with the possible exception of the Bone nut.  Just enough wear and tear to give it a great vintage vibe.  These mid‑’60s S‑50 Jet Stars are relatively scarce compared with Starfires and M‑series archtops, but they remain one of the more affordable USA‑made, set‑neck vintage solid bodies from a major brand.  See below for more details and specifications.

NOTE TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS:

We want you to be happy with your purchase and we try to represent the condition of all used and vintage guitars as accurately as possible in our listings.  Every used guitar shows some signs of play wear and vintage models even more so.  We call out all areas of damage or unusual wear, and describe the overall condition based upon what is "normal" for the age of the instrument.  Expect to see minor dings, finish checking, or other evidence of normal use and aging which may not be captured by photography or explicitly mentioned in the listing. 

We recognize that everyone has their own personal standard of what constitutes acceptable wear and tear.  If play wear is especially critical for you, please contact us to ask any questions you may have.  Your satisfaction is of paramount importance to us.
