I bought a black DeArmond Jet Star (long scale, single Duncan Performer P pickup ) a few years ago, with the intention of refinishing it to resemble Peter Tork's (the Monkees) original 60s Guild. I liked the feel and tone quite a bit. Records and sits in a mix pretty well. Had a nice neck, capable of very low action. Has some neck dive, but for the price I'm not complaining too much. Refinished it with aerosol lacquers in a sunburst. Not a completely professional result, but it definitely has that "vibe" of Pete's old Guild... Definitely one I plan to keep!
