Guild / Starfire II Cherry Red With Bigsby / 1965 / Guitar

Guild Guitars was founded by Alfred Dronge and partners with ex-Epiphone Vice President George Mann. The company moved to Hoboken, New Jersey after a few years. After producing mainly jazz guitars and acoustics in the 50's, the Guild brand took of with the Thunderbird, S-100 and the Starfire models in the 60's. Played by Buddy Guy and Muddy Waters. The company was sold in 1966 to the Avnet Corporation. This Starfire II has been produced in 1965, the year before Guild's transition period. This Hoboken made guitar is a thin hollowbody guitar with a florentine cutaway. The body is made of laminated mahogany and features the original cherry red nitro finish, which has aged beautifully. The finish has been removed partially on the back, due to buckle rash. The slim mahogany neck has a rosewood fretboard with dot inlay. The guitar has a 628mm scale length, nutwidth of 42mm and a 12" radius. The neck finish has worn through the years so the original owner decided to sand it off. This vintage Guild has the original LB-1 pickups, tuners, bridge and pots. The Bigsby is aftermarket. The original pickup selector has been broken and replaced. This guitar has seen many stages in its life and has become a real players guitar. This vintage guitar is in used condition and has the expected signs of use that can be found on a vintage instrument.

ABOUT US

I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
