Description

The Starfire IV ST puts a modern twist on a highly popular semi-hollow Guild classic. With its graceful double cutaway and thinline body, the original Starfire IV was prized by many guitarists from the mid-1960s onward for its incomparable tone and feel.

Premium features include an all-mahogany body, a solid maple center block, ebony fingerboard and Guild's hallmark mahogany neck with maple center seam. This model features a tune-o-matic bridge with a stopbar tailpiece for increased sustain and stability. The Starfire IV ST includes dual LB-1 Little Bucker pickups, replicas of Guild's original smaller-size humbucking pickups. The Starfire IV includes a hardshell case.

    Plays and sounds insanely great. The pickups sound good in all three positions, and each position sounds different from the other two positions, so there are a lot of sounds you can get out of this thing. The neck is pretty fat, and I think comparable to many 335s I have played. I gig with this over much more expensive/vintage guitars because it is so versatile and easy to play. The green finish is also really nice to look at. There were a couple of issues with some blemishes near the headstock, but nothing that wasn't going to happen with normal wear and tear. I typically play it with both Fender and Marshall amps, and it appears to work well with both. Overall, you can't go wrong with this guitar, I love it more every time I play it.
