Guild's iconic electric guitar, the Starfire I DC, has now opened its doors to a wider audience in the Newark St. Collection. Building upon the renowned double-cut body shape of the Guild Starfire, the Starfire I DC introduces semi-hollow body construction with a mahogany center block for reduced feedback and clear sustain.

Preserving the expected airy and crisp tone of a semi-hollow body, the Cherry model showcases an elegantly arched mahogany top, back, and sides. On the other hand, the Pelham Blue model features an elegantly arched maple top, back, and sides, adding a distinct touch of elegance to your playing experience.

The 24 3/4” scale length and modern thin “U” neck profile ensure a fast and smooth playing experience, while the 18th fret neck-to-body joint provides easy access to the upper register of the fretboard. Premium Guild Vintage 18 tuners with an 18:1 gear ratio, coupled with the Tune-o-matic bridge, guarantee accessibility and tuning stability.

Guild’s own HB-2 Alnico II humbuckers inject rich, vintage tone into your sound. The push-pull coil splitting feature adds versatility, allowing you to unleash singing, single-coil tones from either pickup.

The Starfire I DC is available in Cherry Red and Pelham Blue finishes. For those seeking a little extra, the Starfire I DC GVT edition comes equipped with Guild’s vibrato tailpiece, featuring a roller tension bar for additional tonal versatility, available in Pelham Blue.

Experience the legacy of Guild with the Starfire I DC, where classic design meets modern playability and tonal versatility in the Newark St. Collection.
