The Guild Starfire II is a semi-hollow electric guitar that combines vintage appeal with modern craftsmanship. Originally introduced in the early 1960s, the Starfire II is renowned for its warm, resonant tone and elegant single-cutaway body design. Its hollow construction offers a balanced sound — rich in low-end warmth yet articulate enough for jazz, blues, and rock. Equipped with two DeArmond Dynasonic pickups, the Starfire II delivers both smooth cleans and gritty overdrive with clarity and sustain. The arched mahogany body, set mahogany neck, and rosewood fingerboard contribute to its classic tone and feel. Players appreciate its lightweight body, smooth playability, and vintage-aesthetics. The Guild Starfire II remains a beloved instrument for musicians seeking a timeless hollowbody electric guitar.
