The first JS II's had two Bi-sonics and the harp bridge. The next variation had a different Hagstrom PU in the bridge position. Then both PUs were replaced by Guild humbuckers. All of this happened between the introduction of the JS II in 1970 and sometime in 1971. Also the earliest versions were sometimes called JetStar in Guild marketing literature although that was quickly dropped in favor of just JS.
Towards the end of production, the bridge was replaced with the bridge used on the B-30x. At the very end, the PUs were also replaced with the PUs from the B-30x. 1977 time frame?
Above should be in roughly chronological order. Posting here for feedback. Not presently concerned with carved version, stereo version and/or long scale version. Also not concerned with the JS I which had headstock variations and, possibly, the faux PU cover.
