However, this Starfire I’s neck is very comfortable, with solid finish work that never feels too sticky. It’s not too bad, and is definitively useable for gigging musicians, I just think I was expecting more from it. I’m not sure if it is the exact same hardware as on my Jetstar, but it seems to be missing that rock solid tuning stability, even when I don’t use the Bigsby. It’s just not great and the tuners feel a bit cheap. My biggest knock on the wonderful Guild Starfire I SC is the tuning stability.

Quick example of the Starfire I SC’s excellent clean tones #guildguitars #guildstarfire #guitardemoĪ post shared by Matt Dunn on at 4:41am PDT Versatility is the name of the game here with above average tones that are closer to really good “jack of all trades, master of none” territory.

The neck also had a quite nice, bluesy flavor to it, with warm, full tones pouring out that had me playing all sort of Frusciante-style riffs and chords. However, it was never unusable or offensive, making it a solid option for live gigging or recording nonetheless. If you really crank up the distortion and volume, you do start to get that feedback and buzz you’d expect from a hollowbody.

With my Pro Co Rat layered on top, the bridge really opened up into that Green Day and Rancid territory of punk rock where many single cut hollowbodies have shined. The middle position gave a glassy, snappy, beautiful tone for fingerpicking songs in the jazz/pop/singer-songwriter area of the musical realm.

The versatility was still pretty impressive, and I enjoyed jumping around the 3-way selector switch. On this hollowbody single cut, the pickups have a lot more sparkle and snap to them, but it comes at the cost of resonance in my opinion. And that’s okay, as they are vastly different instruments after all. Rounding out the nice feature list is Guild’s own take on the Bigsby, their Aluminum Vibrato Tailpiece that holds the strings opposite their Vintage 18 Open Gear Tuners.Įven though the Starfire I SC is sporting my absolute favorite pair of Guild pickups, the sound doesn’s stack up to the Jetstar’s tone. Two of Guild’s phenomenal HB-2 humbuckers each hold their own master volume and tone controls, as well as a push-pull coil split. Guild’s Starfire I SC has a unique, “modern U” neck, that feels super fast and comfy, despite the vintage appearance. A Maple neck holds an Indian Rosewood fretboard with 20 narrow tall frets, and a 24.75″ scale length. The Arched Maple back, sides, and top sport classy Ivory binding along the top and bottom of the guitar. This is a single cut, hollowbody guitar with a small solid black underneath the bridge.

The brand new Starfire I series of guitars slots right into the Newark St line, adding some exciting hollowbody options like the Starfire I SC in Seafoam Green I was sent on loan. Guild Guitars has made quite the comeback in recent years, thanks mainly to their Newark St line of guitars. She is incredibly loyal and loving to those she cares for, though Earth customs do tend to bewilder her at times - especially in manners of the heart and how people act when they are in love.This company seriously impressed me with their superb Jetstar, will their newest hollowbody do the same?

She has very little modesty due to her inherent need to absorb ultraviolet light in order to fly and because it is not in her people’s nature to do so. Starfire is brutally honest and does not seek to conceal her identity. While she was used as a peace offering by her father and then sold as an experiment by the Citadel, she uses the abilities granted to her to do what she believes is right.
