Guild Starfire V – Sunburst (1967)
A superb example of Guild's golden-era craftsmanship, this 1967 Starfire V is a beautifully built semi-hollow electric that rivals its more famous contemporaries. Finished in classic Sunburst, it combines elegant styling with exceptional playability and a rich, articulate voice that has made vintage Guilds increasingly sought-after by collectors and players alike.
Built in Guild's legendary Hoboken, New Jersey factory, the Starfire V features a laminated maple body with a solid centre block for outstanding sustain and feedback resistance. Equipped with a pair of Guild HB-1 humbuckers and a factory Bigsby vibrato, it delivers everything from warm jazz cleans and bluesy overdrive to rich classic rock tones, all with the unmistakable character that sets vintage Guilds apart.
