Here for sale we have a Guild Starfire I DC in Cherry Red finish. Built in 2022, this guitar consists of a Mahogany top and back, Mahogany neck, Mahogany back and sides, and an Indian Rosewood fingerboard. Other features include 22 Narrow Tall frets, a Guild tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece, Guild Vintage 18 open gear tuners, along with a pair of Guild HB-2 humbucking pickups, wired to dual volume controls (push/pull split coil), dual tone controls, and a 3-way toggle switch.

The gloss finish Thin ‘U’ profile neck plays very well, feeling smooth and comfortable in the hand, its fairly flat profile allowing for ergonomic thumb positioning. The 12.5" radius provides an excellent playing surface, perfect for complex chords and single-note lines, feeling comfortable under the fingers. The dual cutaways give great access to the upper register and the Narrow Tall fret wire is an excellent playing surface, giving you loads to work with when bending without being needlessly wide.

The Guild HB-2 humbuckers sound thick and full, with rich lows, an incredibly open midrange, and crisp, clear highs. The push/pull coil split switches on the volume pots give great versatility, allowing for sparkling single coil tones from either pickup. Overall a very well put together vintage-inspired guitar, feeling far more expensive than it actually is.
