GuildStarfire I Double Cutaway /w vibrato - PELHAM BLUE
Guild’s iconic electric guitar is now accessible to more players with the Starfire I DC. This double-cut guitar features a semi-hollow body with a mahogany center block for reduced feedback and clear sustain. The Cherry model has an arched mahogany top, back, and sides, while the Pelham Blue version features an arched maple top. It offers a fast-playing 24 3/4” scale length and a thin “U” neck profile, along with an 18th fret neck-to-body joint for easy access to the upper frets. Premium Guild Vintage 18 tuners and a Tune-o-matic bridge ensure reliable tuning. The HB-2 Alnico II humbuckers deliver rich vintage tones, with a push-pull coil-splitting feature for single-coil sounds. The Starfire I DC is available in Cherry Red, while the Starfire I DC GVT includes a vibrato tailpiece for added tonal versatility and comes in Pelham Blue.
