The Starfire IV was Guild’s answer to the Gibson ES-335. Like the ES-335 it’s semi-hollow guitar with a pair of humbuckers, but with a distinct visual Guild twist like the stairstep pickguard and the flared headstock with the crown inlay. This example was made in Westerly, Rhode Island in 1999 and it’s in excellent structural and cosmetic condition. This is a classy Starfire with a twin humbucker tone that's easy to play. The original case is included.
