I just wanted to share a couple of my favorite solid bodies. Not quite like the original but they've scratched the itch for me. Some day I'd love to have an original.
First is a '99 DeArmond Jetstar. In '99 or '00 VH1 Save the Music Foundation was blowing these out for $169 plus $20 shipping . My only regret was not buying more . It may well be my favorite guitar as its the one I most often reach for. Its heavy but constructed well and the DeArmond USA Goldtones are fantastic !!
The other is a 2017 Newark St. Tbird ST. I found this on Reverb used and for the price I couldn't pass it up! White guitars are so cool !! This one is significantly lighter than the DeArmond . The LB pickups are great and I like how different they sound from the Goldtones. The simplicity of the controls is a big plus but what really impressed me was the fret work ... absolutely flawless!! This guitar punches way above its weight!!
