This guitar is set up and ready to play. It sounds and plays great. It came to us directly from Guild in un-played condition because it had been opened and repacked. The guitar has no issues, is not marked as used 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 case and box. We are an authorized Guild warranty service center and a Guild dealer.

Guild’s Starfire III is equipped with features of extra advantage to the rock ‘n’ roll guitarist who seeks a combination of flashy appearance and extraordinary tonal possibilities. Stellar features are all here, including the extra-thin hollow body, graceful single Florentine cutaway and brilliant Black finish. The welcome return of a rocking early-’60s favorite with a personality all its own.
