General

While Guild have powered up the Starfire I SC with a few welcome upgrades, they've still managed to squeeze this luxurious thinline model into their more-than reasonably priced Newark St. Collection. This vintage-styled single-cut semi-acoustic has been fitted with a thinner U-profile neck that feels a touch more supple in terms of playing feel, while the fresh set of HB-2 humbuckers also have a little more bite - the kind of bite you'd expect from antique models built back in the '50s and '60s. To back them up, a push/pull coil split has been fitted, adding an extra five tone profiles to colour the amplified sound, and the mounted Tune-o-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece combine with the new centre-block (that sits under the top of the resonance chamber), to improve the tuning stability and the intonation of this more-than satisfying guitar.

Bax Music Warranty This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

Guild Newark St. Collection Starfire I SC Antique Burst Semi-Acoustic Guitar

Un très bel insrument, une finition remarquable pour ce prix contenu. Des micros splittables avec des sons exploitables, ce qui n'est pas toujours le cas.
Une très belle découverte et pas seulement à l'aise pour le jazz mais aussi pour du blues et du rock, même si on pousse la disto.

Guild Newark St. Collection Starfire I SC Antique Burst Semi-Acoustic Guitar

Fijne en mooie gitaar die goed klinkt. De coil split functie vind ik niet bijdragen, maar de normale humbucker sounds zijn goed.

Guild Newark St. Collection Starfire I SC Antique Burst Semi-Acoustic Guitar

Une finition remarquable, très bon instrument.
Cette nouvelle série est une réussite totale.
Une vraie Jazz box en micro manche et une palette sonore très versatile grâce au micros HB2 splitables.
Le manche est assez large et très confortable.
Cette Guild prends une place de choix dans ma collection et soutient largement la comparaison avec des guitares nettement plus chères !
