Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Guild’s Starfire I SC pairs a single-cut, 2-inch hollow body with a bridge block intended to increase bridge stability. Its arched laminated maple body is described with airy hollow-body character, bright overtones and pronounced lows. A 24.75-inch scale and thin U neck profile give the instrument a fast, smooth playing feel, while HB-2 Alnico II humbuckers provide the main voice. Use the push-pull coil split to access single-coil tones from either pickup when a different pickup character suits the part.
