This is a superbly crafted Guild semi-hollowbody guitar with an incredibly unique and attractive finish. The neck profile is of the flatter variety and is very comfortable in hand and plays spectacularly up and down the fingerboard. The pearl block with abalone V inlays are very striking. The Guild vibrato tailpiece works perfectly and helps give this guitar even more inspirational and creative options. The Guild humbuckers sound fantastic and are very capable of capturing those great vintage Guild tones and offer a different sound than a modern humbucker. All in all, if you're looking for an absolute stunner of a guitar, look no further.
From Guild: The crème of the crop for Guild’s Starfire line, the Starfire VI has it all—glitz, glamour and gorgeous tone. Featuring Guild’s iconic double-cutaway Starfire body shape with a solid spruce center block, the VI’s prestige is built to last. Dual LB-1 Little Bucker pickups—replicas of Guild’s 1960s smaller size humbucking pickups—offer a range of tones well-suited for a variety of playing styles and genres. The Starfire VI has a unique, three-piece maple/walnut/maple neck and a bound ebony fingerboard inlaid with stunning mother-of-pearl and abalone V-blocks. Additional features include a pinned Tune-o-Matic bridge with ebony base, 5-ply black and ivory purfling, deluxe f-hole and body binding, and a Guild Vibrato Tailpiece—topped by an adornment of gold hardware. Includes a Guild Deluxe hardshell case. The top-of-the-line Starfire VI has the vintage look, tone, and swagger you can only get from a Guild Starfire.
