Guild Starfire II Newark Bass Guitar

Description: Thinning the herd to buy a new amp. Beautiful guitar, iconic look, terrific neck and classic sound. A modern reissue of the Starfire bass originally introduced in 1967. I have owned this since new and it's in excellent shape. There is a small place on the back of the body where the finish is marred - I've included a photo. Very little playing time on this guitar. It comes with the factory hard shell case and all the tools Guild includes in the sale. Description: The Starfire Bass II is a dual-pickup semi-hollow bass guitar that adds sonic options to one of Guild’s most iconic models, the Starfire Bass. The Starfire Bass II originally debuted in 1967, shortly after the single-pickup version, and quickly garnered a following that included Jack Casady (Jefferson Airplane) and Phil Lesh (Grateful Dead). The addition of the BiSonic BS-1 neck pickup on the Starfire Bass II gives bassists a warmer, smooth sound for added tonal flexibility. This double cutaway bass guitar features an arched laminate mahogany top and back, and mahogany sides, dual Guild BS-1 pickups, individual volume, tone, and master volume knobs, and a pickup selector switch. A clear, high gloss finish highlights this bass guitar’s natural beauty. The Starfire Bass II brings Guild’s vintage vibe to the modern bass player. Available in Black, Emerald Green, Natural, or Cherry Red.
