NS S-100 Deluxe model coming?

[SFIV1967]

Made at WMI as the normal model. Also from 2016 like the Jetstar prototypes.

Sounds like they’ll be coming out with the deluxe eventually then if they’re developing with two different whammys that we’ve seen so far they must be working hard on it.
I’m looking forward to checking out a JS2 in natural or walnut if they put them out again.

I played those Jetstar prototypes and they were cool, but when i was there before NAMM 2020 they had a Pelham Blue / White guard / Dynasonics with a stop tail, and an Orange / White guard /Dynasonics with a Bigsby B3 style tremolo on it, and a natural maple / black guard 3-P90's. The build quality was better and they played like butter, also really surf-punchy like one would expect from those pickups, very cool IMO.

I need to open that old thread again as at least the blue one appeared back in May 2020 on Reverb! I just didn't remember in July of 2021:

Guild Jetstar Protoype w/Dynasonic Pickups 2019 Cyan Blue | Reverb

Guild Jetstar PROTOTYPE with Dynasonic pickups! 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...

Yep! I got to play this very guitar and it honestly sounded amazing, something about those pickups with the scale length and 6 in-line fender style headstock just brought it all together for me. I hope they have plans for this one down the road, I should have scooped it up on Reverb when I saw it :/ Thanks for the reminder

why are they using a Starfire-5 Guildsby instead of an S-100 Deluxe Guildsby?

Good question. But so far Guild has not introduced a "S-100 Deluxe" as a new model officially, only in those shots for the new case. So it might have been only a prototype, I guess we have to wait until at least January for the next NAMM show.

Ralf, 2022 Winter NAMM has already been postponed until mid year in CA.

I emailed Guild last week to ask if they were planning to reissue the S-100 Deluxe and they responded "no" but that they would take note of the interest.
