Description
Catapulting the legendary Guild Starfire bass into the modern era, the Starfire I is an awesome vintage-inspired axe that roars with thunderous lows and exceptional clarity. Sporting a punchy BC-1 BiCoil pickup, a semi-hollow body, and a classic Cherry Red finish, this bass is perfect for musicians seeking a value-packed bass dripping with old-school mojo. And thanks to its short-scale design, it plays with an effortless feel that'll keep you coming back for more.
The Guild Starfire I offers bassists an unrivaled playing experience. From its shorter 30.75" scale length to its Modern Thin "U" shaped mahogany neck, this plays with a quick, comfortable feel. Additionally, its genuine Indian Rosewood fingerboard is nice and smooth, allowing players to glide across all 21 narrow tall frets with ease.
Tonally, the Guild Starfire I bass knocks it out of the park. Its semi-hollow construction imbues its tone with a rich woody resonance, while its BC-1 BiCoil pickup allows players to dial in any sound, from bright and modern to fat, wooly, and vintage. If you need more sonic flexibility, the volume knob has a push/pull function that adds presence by decreasing the lower frequencies. Plus, the pickup features a hum-resistant nickel cover, mitigating hums, buzzes, and unwanted noise.
Decked out with a Cherry Red finish, a Tune-O-Matic bridge, and a harp tailpiece, the Guild Starfire I bass is a blast from the past in the best way possible. Contact us today if you're ready to add this fantastic semi-hollow bass to your collection!
