** GUILD Starfire I Jet 90 Satin Black **Demo Model like NEW (New Strings & Full Setup by our Guitar Tech)Note: a lighter area on the back of the body (see the last picture).Original cardbox and accessories included.Guild is one of those brands that carries a genuine aura in the history of the electric guitar, yet remains somewhat underrated compared to the most heavily marketed giants. Founded in the 1950s in the United States, the company quickly built a reputation for high-end instruments used by jazz, blues, and rock musicians. Its identity is very much “old-school premium,” with a strong attention to detail, carefully selected tonewoods, and a more handcrafted-than-industrial approach in spirit. Even today, Guild continues to offer guitars that embody this blend of tradition and character, and the Starfire Jet 90 is a striking modern example of that legacy.From the very first glance, this guitar carries a distinct presence. The Satin Black finish gives it an elegant, understated, and deeply classy look, far from anything flashy or overdesigned. It clearly sits within a refined vintage aesthetic, with the semi-hollow silhouette typical of the Starfire line, but modernized just enough to remain relevant today. It’s the kind of guitar that catches the eye without trying too hard, with a strong visual identity that feels almost boutique-level in its execution.What truly makes the Starfire Jet 90 stand out, however, is its sonic personality. This is a semi-hollow instrument that breathes, offering that open, organic character that many modern guitars tend to smooth out. The P-90-style pickups play a crucial role here, delivering a rich, lively, slightly gritty tone with a crisp attack and excellent dynamics. The result is a sound that can be warm and smooth in clean settings, yet quickly becomes edgy, textured, and highly expressive when pushed through an amp. This is not a sterile tone—it’s a living, reactive sound that responds to every nuance of your playing.What immediately strikes you when playing it is the sense of comfort and resonance. The semi-hollow body brings a real depth and a natural vibration that makes it feel as though the guitar is responding under your fingers. The neck is comfortable and well-balanced, and the instrument feels designed to let the music breathe rather than restrict it. You can move effortlessly from mellow blues phrasing to more driven rock textures, all while retaining that woody, organic character that defines this type of instrument.In the end, the Guild Starfire Jet 90 is a guitar that doesn’t aim to impress through technical showmanship, but through pure expression. It has a deeply musical, almost inspiring quality, where every note seems to carry weight and color. It’s an instrument for players who appreciate guitars with real soul—capable of sounding as beautiful as they feel to play. In a world often dominated by ultra-modern, highly engineered instruments, it’s a reminder that character and sensitivity can still make all the difference.Specifications: Serial: ISG210754857 Weight: 3.650 kgThinline Hollow Body electric guitarArched laminated maple body with mahogany center blockMahogany neckRosewood fingerboardScale length: 628 mmNut width: 42.8 mm20 frets3 Franz P90 single-coil pickups1 volume control, 1 tone control6-position rotary selectorGuild AdjustoMatic bridgeGuild Bigsby-style vibrato
