The Guild Starfire I DC reimagines the iconic semi-hollow body design that helped define the sound of the '60s, now with modern playability and versatility. Featuring an arched mahogany top, back, and sides with a mahogany center block, it delivers crisp resonance, warm sustain, and reduced feedback—ideal for everything from clean jangle to gritty overdrive. Its 24 3/4” scale length and thin “U” neck profile offer a smooth, fast feel, while the 18th fret neck joint ensures easy access to upper frets. A Guild Vibrato Tailpiece, Tune-o-matic bridge, and Vintage 18 tuners provide rock-solid tuning and expressive pitch control. Loaded with HB-2 Alnico humbuckers and push-pull coil-splitting, the Starfire I DC delivers a wide tonal palette—from fat humbucker warmth to bright single-coil sparkle. Available in Pelham Blue, Emerald Green, and California Burst, it’s a stylish, stage-ready classic with a modern soul.
