GUILD STARFIRE IV ST FM

The Starfire IV ST Flamed Maple puts a modern twist on a highly popular semi-hollow Guild classic. With its graceful double cutaway and thinline body, the original Starfire IV was prized by many guitarists from the mid-1960s onward for its incomparable tone and feel.

Premium features include an all flamed maple body, a solid maple center block, rosewood fingerboard, and Guilds hallmark mahogany neck with maple center seam. This model features a tune-o-matic bridge, with a stopbar tailpiece for increased sustain and stability. The Starfire IV ST Flamed Maple includes dual LB-1 Little Bucker pickups, replicas of Guilds original smaller size humbucking pickups. Includes hardshell case.

Starfire II ST – Natural

The Starfire II ST, a hollowbody guitar with a graceful single Florentine cutaway and extra thin mahogany body. The Starfire II ST comes equipped with dual LB-1 Little Bucker pickups, replicas of Guild’s original smaller size humbucking pickups. These pickups, which have a footprint that falls in between a full size humbucker and mini-bucker, define the Starfire II’s uniquely-Guild sound. Other premium features include a mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard, elegant ivory white body binding, and a beautiful high gloss natural finish. This model features a Tune-O-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece for increased sustain and stability. The Starfire II is a welcome addition to the Starfire family, offering Guild’s classic vibe and vintage tone. The Guild LB-1 “Little Bucker” was first offered in 1962 as an upgrade from single coil pickups. Tonally, it has a little more jangle than a traditional PAF humbucker. The resistance and inductance of the pickups sit comfortably between a typical single coil and typical humbucker – contributing to the airy nature of the LB-1 without compromising its warmth. The LB-1 has a unique footprint, placing it in-between a mini-bucker and a fill size humbucker.

PEVEY AT200 – Self Tuning Guitar A SELF-TUNING GUITAR WITHOUT MOTORS, SPRINGS, OR moving parts? That might seem impossible, but if you’re familiar with Antares’ Auto-Tune processing, you’ll immediately understand the Peavey AT-200: This guitar contains six onboard instances of Auto-Tune, each connected to an individual piezo-equipped string saddle. Auto-Tune monitors and corrects pitch in real time on each string, delivering not just automatic tuning, but virtually perfect equal-tempered intonation for single notes and chords, all over the neck. The AT-200 earned an Editors’ Pick Award when first reviewed last winter, and since then, Antares has added significant upgrades and expansions, warranting another look at this rapidly developing technology. The AT-200 features a solid basswood body, maple neck, and rosewood fingerboard, and the workmanship and playability make it a strong competitor in the under $500 price range, even without considering the Antares features. Excellent setup and fretwork, along with a rather flat 15.75" radius fretboard, inspire fast riffing and allow buzz-free bending up and down the neck. Played acoustically, the guitar is lively, bright, and snappy, with impressive sustain and a slightly honky upper midrange emphasis.
