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.
