OVER THE YEARS, the Jetstar name has appeared on guitars branded by Guild, Galanti and DeArmond. This guitar’s nameplate came from a piece of vintage luggage. I just can’t get behind a guitar that doesn’t have a headstock logo, and neither can my buddy Ardy, who built this cool green mash-up.
The guitar pictured here was most definitely made (Centerstream), I determined that the body, neck and bridge could be from FujiGen Gakki, while the gold-foil pickup looks to be made by Teisco and the pickguard could be by Sakai. The Kluson-style tuners are mint-green aftermarkets, and the green knobs are from a discarded ’60s Airline record player.
