Product Description
A match made in heaven: the Starfire II ST and DeArmond pickups. Enter: The Starfire II Dynasonic! A combination first introduced in the 1960s, the Starfire II ST Dynasonic was made famous by heavy-hitter Jerry Garcia. With the addition of dual DeArmond Dynasonic pickups—single coil pickups first created by DeArmond in the 1940s and long revered for their innovation and incredible tone—this guitar brings sweet highs and rich, full lows to the Starfire family. Other premium features include a mahogany neck, ebony fingerboard, elegant ivory white body binding, all gold hardware, and a beautiful high gloss Royal Brown finish. This model features a Tune-O-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece for increased sustain and stability. The Starfire II Dynasonic is a welcome addition to the Starfire family, offering Guild’s classic vibe and vintage tone. WE have many fine archtops and semi hollow guitars in the shop that sell for over twice the price of this Guild, and this Guild stands up to them all. It is relatively light in weight, very comfortable to play, and pickups to die for! Fitted from the factory with an ABR bridge with brass saddles to give reasonable sustained and clarity which is missing from many other guitars in this class. We can also install nylon saddles to emulate the vintage Gibson tone of the 1950’s.
