Guild / Starfire XII 12 String Sunburst / 1966 / Guitar

Before Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton were idolized for their incredible virtuosity and the use of completely overdriven Marshall amplifiers, the 12-string electric guitar was a big hit. Main users are the Beatles and the Byrds who used the beautiful 'jangle' of this instrument on albums from '65 -'66. Although Guild was not the first, the company already had experience with making 12-string guitars. The XII is based on the Starfire IV model and uses a semi-hollow case with a maple center block. Although a '12 -string 'often has a broad and large neck, this Guild has a 43.5 mm head width and a very comfortable neck. The electronics are completely original with the Guild HB-1 humbuckers, original potmeters and hardware. The neck pickup has a value of 6.52 kOhm and the bridge pickup has a value of 6.49 kOhm. This Guild Starfire XII is from 1966 and is in good condition. The neck features overspray on the neck including the headstock and the sides of both horns. The binding has shrunk at some spots. The finish on the body is still original. There are some dings, playwear and traces of use on the body including a deeper mark on the bass side and a scuff mark near the bridge.

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.
