    Thoughts on the new Guild Starfire I Bass...would you get it?

    I recently caught wind of the new Guild Starfire I bass with their own split coil pickup. It comes a nice price and comes with a beautiful Cherry Red or Vintage Walnut color scheme. I am thinking of getting for that early Phil Lesh tone and for 60's music in general. I would put some flats on...

    New Guid Starfire Bass?

    Anyone else see this? Looks pretty interesting to me. I’m not exactly in the market for another hollow body short scale, but dang it all if this one isn’t tempting. Guild Starfire I Bass DC Vintage Walnut

    Wanted Guild Starfire I (60’s)

    Hi, I am in the market for a vintage Guild Starfire Bass. Preferably a red Starfire I with a bisonic pickup in neck position. I live in Sweden, which means that a potential seller has to be open to the idea of shipping the bass across the pond. Hit me up!

    New bass suggestions with wider body than Fender

    Hello! So I'm looking around for a new bass to expand my pallet a bit. My current bass is a Guild Starfire ii (which I love dearly) strung with flatwounds.
