Overview
Guilds most iconic electric guitar is now available to a whole new range of players. Expanding on the double cut body shape made famous by the Guild Starfire, the Starfire I DC features semi hollow body construction utilizing a mahogany center block for reduced feedback and clear sustain. Retaining the airy, crisp tone you would expect from a semi hollow body, the Vintage Walnut, Pelham Blue, and Emerald Green models feature an elegantly arched maple top, back, and sides. The 24 3/4in scale length and modern thin U neck profile provide a fast, smooth playing neck, while the 18th fret neck to body joint provides easy access to the upper register of the fretboard. Premium Guild Vintage 18 tuners with 18,1 gear ratio and Tune o matic bridge ensure the strings are accessible and in tune. Rich, vintage tone is injected by Guilds own HB 2 Alnico II humbuckers, and the push pull coil splitting feature allows for singing, single coil tones from either pickup. All of these features come standard on the Starfire I platform. For those looking for something a little extra, the Starfire I DC GVT comes equipped with Guilds vibrato tailpiece featuring a roller tension bar for additional tonal versatility. Available in Pelham Blue or Emerald Green.
