This guitar is set up and ready to play. It sounds and plays great. It came to us directly from Guild as B stock because it had been setup and played one night on a gig. It has no issues but has a few light finger marks on the pick guard. It includes a 90 day factory warranty, is not marked as B stock and anything seen in the photos are reflections. The action is 3/32" or lower at the 12th fret, the electronics sound great, the bridge is adjustable in all directions, the fret ends are smooth and the truss rod works. The guitar shown is the guitar shipped in factory double box. We are an authorized Guild warranty service center and a Guild dealer.”
Guild’s 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 model features an elegantly arched maple top, back, and sides.
The 24 3/4” 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 Guild’s 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.
