Starfire Electrics Starfire VI Newark | Double-Cut | Semi-Hollow w/tremolo Shoreline Mist
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. It’s available in high-gloss Blonde (from AAA Flamed Maple), Snowcrest White, and Shoreline Mist. 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.
