Guild Newark St. Collection Starfire VI Special Kingswood Green Semi-Acoustic Guitar with Case
Product no: 9000-0110-5346 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

Considering the specs and the finish, you might expect this model to come at at least twice the price. This undeniably chic hollowbody boasts an expensive look and construction: from the all-maple body to the royal, Kingswood Green paint-job, this guitar breathes all the class of the Newark St. Collection Series. Cap it all off with gilded hardware and Grover Sta-Tite Open Gear tuners, and the sheer value of the Guild Starfire VI Special shines through.

The Guild Starfire VI Special: Comfy Design & Classic Hardware

The maple body has been topped with a comfortably arched soundboard while the three-piece maple neck has been shot through with a reinforcing maple stripe. This lays down an irresistibly balanced and sparkling sonic foundation which is rounded off by the bright overtones of the twenty-two fret deluxe ebony fretboard. The mounted Guild Tune-O-Matic bridge is also stabilised by an ebony base and has been anchored in the body to support a Guild Vibrato Tailpiece.

DeArmond Dynasonic Single-Coils

The pickup configuration is made up of two DeArmond Dynasonics that unleash lush, single-coil shimmer but with a touch more weight, and via the extensive tone controls, a broad array of tonal profiles can be dialled in - from classic and biting to big and airy. Since hollowbody models are notorious when it comes to feedback, a solid spruce centreblock has been set into the centre of the body to reign things in, completing a solid and reliable gigging mate. And, so you can get it to the venues safely, the Guild Starfire VI Special comes complete with a form-fitting case.

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!
