Guild’s iconic double-cutaway Starfire body shape

Featuring Guild’s iconic double-cutaway Starfire body shape, the Starfire VI is crafted with an all-Maple laminate body and solid Spruce centre block that delivers classic Guild semi-hollow tones without sacrificing live playability. With their balanced warmth and versatility, the DeArmond Dynasonic pickups capture a players touch and nuance and offer up a wide range boutique quality tones.

Other premium features on the the Starfire VI include Guild’s unique, three-piece Mahogany/Maple/Mahogany neck, a bound Ebony fingerboard inlaid with Mother-of-Pearl and Abalone V-blocks, and real bone nut. Additional features include a pinned Tune-o-Matic bridge with ebony base, 5-ply black and Ivory purfling, bound F-holes and headstock with Mother of Pearl Guild “Peak” and “Chesterfield” inlays, and a Guild Vibrato Tailpiece. All Starfire VI models include a Guild Deluxe hardshell case.

Blending ’60s Starfire style with 1950s DeArmond tone, Guild’s Starfire I DC is a multi-generational tribute to Guild’s vintage heyday. This guitar’s feedback-resistant semi-hollow maple body and expressive Guild vibrato tailpiece come straight out of the typical double-cut Starfire playbook, paired with a sleek 9.5-inch-radius ebony fingerboard for all the benefits of modern playability. And while the round lows, sparkling trebles, and hi-fi voice of DeArmond Dynasonic pickups are standard on many a Guild, they’re a rare sight to see on a 1960s-style double-cut like this Starfire I DC! Guild finishes this guitar’s utterly refined vibe off with a glittering set of gold hardware, from the Grover Sta-Tite open-gear tuners to a Tune-o-matic bridge to even the pickup switch. Capture the thumping single-coil sound and sultry sonics of Guild’s two most iconic vintage eras with the Guild Starfire 1 DC.
