Hey all,
I'm new on this forum, and a fairly new fan of Guild Guitars and bass.
I've been playing Fender bass, and Gibson Guitars, but I recently remembered seeing a photo of a weird shaped bass when I was a kid and thought it was the coolest thing...its only years later that I picked up my first bass and had forgotten all about the 'mysterious' bass I had seen back then until recently.
After researching it I found out it was a Guild Jet Star, cherry red.
I was wondering if anyone here owns one and can tell me about them.
I'd like to purchase one, but can't spend thousands. Anyone knows approx how much they go for?
Where they ever re-issued?
There's one on ebay right now, but the price is too much for me...also its not the color I'm looking for, and the top part of the neck (sorry I'm not sure how that part is called in english, I'm originally from Europe, now living in NY) anyway the part of the neck with the brand printed on it is in a different shape than the one I've seen before (on ebay it looks like a regular fender shape, not like the one on the following link:

Finally, if anyone knows where I could find one (apart from ebay, where prices tend to go up very fast)?
Any info would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Thom
