The Newark series Starfire VI is an updated version of the iconic 1960’s Starfire VI. A laminated maple body and a 3-piece neck with an ebony fingerboard lay the foundation for a pronounced, refined tone, supported by the Starfire VI’s LB-1 “Little Bucker” pickups. The semi-hollow maple top and back ensure a clear tone, while the distinctive maple/walnut/maple neck provides stability and tonal richness.

Withdrawal termsDescription
The Starfire VI in the Newark series builds on the popular Starfire VI from the 1960s, which in this version has received a more exclusive cut. The body is made of laminated maple to give the guitar an elegant and stylish tone, and the tone is supported by a pair of LB-1 "Little Bucker" pickups, each with its own tone and volume control. The vibrato, which Guild has installed on the Starfire VI, allows you to create large and controlled vibrato effects. Whether it is spine-tingling rockabilly effects or soft waves with nuance and color.
The Guild Starfire VI contains the basic features and qualities that made the original Starfire VI a popular guitar in the 1960s. The semi-hollow and arched maple top and bottom give the Starfire VI its refined tone. The hollow wings provide more warmth and richness of detail, while the solid center block helps to combat feedback at high volumes. Maple ensures that the overall tone is articulate, clear, and present, which is supported by the 3-piece maple/walnut/maple neck, which is ultra-stable and adds a more pronounced attack with plenty of resonance.
The open Grover Sta-Tite tuning pegs are a design element that the Starfire VI shares with the 60s Starfire, but they have a tuning stability that is comparable to what you get in a modern guitar.
The Guild Starfire VI is equipped with a pair of LB-1 Little Bucker pickups. The LB-1 pickups are a design from the 1960s that Guild developed as an alternative to single-coil pickups. Their output lies between a single-coil and a vintage PAF humbucker, and the tone of the pickups is punchier than a PAF humbucker and warmer than a single-coil. A standard 3-way pickup selector gives you access to drive the pickups individually or as a pair.
