Guild Newark St. Collection Starfire I DC California Burst Semi-Acoustic Guitar
Product no: 9000-0110-5345 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

The Guild Starfire I DC makes a refreshed comeback and brings a number of just as fresh upgrades. This Newark St. Collection reissue has a thinner neck, a fitted centre-block, and two new Guild HB-2 Humbuckers. The thinner neck profile immediately lifts the playability of this vintage-styled hollowbody, while the modern touch of the centre-block fitted under the arched top has the double benefit of reducing on-stage feedback and adding a little more stability in terms of both tuning and intonation. The specially developed pair of HB-2 pickups shape a deliciously classic Fifties-slash-Sixties double-wound sound with a nice extra dose of definition and, to broaden the tonal palette further, a push/pull coil-split is provided. This version of the reborn Starfire has been finished with a stopbar tailpiece.

Gretsch Introduces the Vintage Select and Player Editions

Friday 29 January 2016

Gretsch fans can roughly be divided into two groups. On the one hand you have the purists who think the specifications from the 1950s and 1960s - the Gretsch heydays - are beyond dispute. On the other hand, you have the more practically minded guitarists who like to make modifications to their instruments. Luckily, both camps are being catered to with Gretsch's new series: the Vintage Select Editions and the Players Editions. Go for a modern classic like the G6118T-SGR or travel back in time to 1962 with the Gretsch G6119T-62GE!
