Guild Starfire I Series

Guild

collapse expand iconDescription

Based on the timeless Starfire II and III single cut body shape, the Starfire I SC features a 2“ thick hollow body with an added bridge block to increase bridge stability and improved resonance. Made with a sturdy arched maple top, back, and sides, the Starfire I SC has the airy tonality of a hollow body instrument with bright overtones and pronounced lows. The 24 3/4” scale length and modern thin “U” neck profile mean for a fast, smooth playing neck, and the premium Guild Vintage 18 tuners and Tune-o-matic bridge ensure that strings are easy to tune and stay in tune. An injection of rich, vintage tone is provided by Guild’s own HB-2 Alnico II humbuckers, and the included push-pull coil splitting feature allows for singing single coil tones from either pickup.

  • Awesome Guitar!

    This is an awesome guitar. It was my reward for sticking with my lessons and practice and I couldn't be happier. It actually looks better than what the pictures showed, and I love the sound and feel. I've been an acoustic/acoustic-electric player for most of my life, and I really like the sound of the semi-hollow body electrics and am thrilled with my purchase. I'm gonna rock it with this for sure!

    I purchased this a couple of weeks ago when it was on sell and am very pleased with my purchase . Finish is beautiful and the guitar is easy to play with low action. I like the sound better with the pickup in the full humbucker mode than with it in the coil split mode but that is just my personal preference.

    Full disclosure, this is my first guitar. I wanted a guitar to learn to play on, but didn't want to skimp on the quality and end up with something that ruined the experience. This Guild guitar is beyond my expectations. It is a beautiful piece of work. I researched a ton of guitars and this choice did not disappoint. The finish and quality is about as professional as you could expect. Not a toy by any means. I am looking forward to learning and playing on something that should last and sound great.

    I was looking for an electric guitar that was versatile enough to do blues, rock and jazz within my price range. I had been looking at the starfire for awhile. Your Black Friday deal made me pull the trigger. The neck is comfortable and it is loud enough the play without an amp. I am still exploring the sounds you can get out of this instrument.

    THIS IS A GREAT GUITAR . WITH A GREAT SOUND THE PICKUPS HAVE A UNIQUE SOUND SOMEWHERE BETWEEN A FILTERTRON AND A MINI HUMBUCKER AND IT PLAYS GREAT WITH LOW ACTION. LOOKS AND PLAYS LIKE A GUITAR THAT COST TWICE AS MUCH
