GuildStarfire Deluxe SC GVT Mahogany Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar - Cherry

Warm, resonant and rich with vintage-inspired character, the Guild Starfire Deluxe SC GVT Mahogany brings an all-mahogany voice to the celebrated single-cut semi-hollowbody design, pairing arched construction with Alnico V HB-2+ humbuckers and expressive Guild Vibrato. Mahogany top, back and sides provide depth, rounded mids and a full-bodied response, while a poplar center block helps focus the guitar's resonant character for amplified playing. The mahogany set neck features a comfortable Vintage Soft U profile and bound rosewood fingerboard, with a 24.75" scale and 20 narrow-jumbo frets providing a familiar, responsive feel. Dual Guild HB-2+ humbuckers complement that tonal foundation with punch, harmonic detail and clear definition, supported by individual Volume and Tone controls for flexible adjustment. Deluxe binding and inlays, Grover G2 open-gear tuners and a Guild Tune-O-Matic bridge complete a beautifully appointed Starfire that balances timeless '60s style with versatile modern performance. Arched Mahogany and Center-Block Construction for Warm Semi-Hollow Tone The Starfire Deluxe SC GVT Mahogany builds its distinctive semi-hollow voice around an arched mahogany top and back with mahogany sides, combining warm midrange presence and resonant depth with the open character of a chambered design. A poplar center block runs through the body to provide a solid structural foundation for the pickups and bridge, helping focus the instrument's amplified response while the surrounding hollow chambers and dual F-holes contribute to its open, resonant semi-hollow character. The classic single-cut body shape gives the Starfire Deluxe SC GVT Mahogany the elegant proportions associated with Guild's vintage-inspired electric designs, while ivory binding around the body and F-holes provides a refined frame for the arched construction. Vintage Soft U Mahogany Neck for Comfortable, Familiar Playability A mahogany set neck gives the Starfire Deluxe SC GVT Mahogany a sturdy, resonant connection to the body, shaped to Guild's Vintage Soft U profile for a comfortably substantial feel beneath the fretting hand. The 24.75" scale provides a slightly more relaxed string response for expressive bends and fluid chord work, while the rosewood fingerboard combines a 12" radius with 20 narrow-jumbo frets for smooth, precise playability across the neck. The neck joins the body at the 14th fret, reflecting the traditional proportions of the single-cut Starfire design. Ivory fingerboard binding provides a clean finished edge, complemented by pearloid block inlays and a bone nut. Alnico V HB-2+ Humbuckers for Warmth, Clarity and Punch Dual Guild HB-2+ humbuckers give the Starfire Deluxe SC GVT Mahogany a broad tonal range with the punch and definition of Alnico V magnets. The neck pickup balances warmth and depth with clear note separation, while the bridge pickup delivers a firmer attack and added cut for articulate rhythm work and driven leads. A three-way toggle provides immediate access to either pickup or both together, while individual Volume and Tone controls for each pickup allow the two voices to be balanced and shaped independently. From full, rounded neck tones to crisp, assertive bridge sounds, the HB-2+ pair complements the warmth and resonance of the all-mahogany semi-hollow body with clarity across a wide range of gain levels. Guild Vibrato and Deluxe Appointments Complete the Vintage-Inspired Design The Guild Vibrato tailpiece adds expressive pitch control to the Starfire Deluxe SC GVT Mahogany while reinforcing the distinctive visual character of its '60s-inspired semi-hollow design. A Guild Tune-O-Matic bridge with rosewood base provides individual saddle adjustment for accurate intonation, while Grover G2 open-gear tuners offer smooth, precise tuning at the headstock. Ivory binding outlines the body, F-holes and fingerboard, joined by pearloid block inlays and Guild's Peak logo and Chesterfield headstock inlays for an appropriately dressed-up Deluxe presentation. Nickel hardware and a black pickguard with gold Guild logo and star detailing complete a polished look that draws naturally from the Starfire's vintage roots. Classic Starfire Character With a Rich Mahogany Voice Since the Starfire emerged as part of Guild's electric lineup in the 1960s, its combination of semi-hollow resonance, distinctive styling and versatile amplified tone has given the design an identity all its own. The Starfire Deluxe SC GVT Mahogany carries that character forward with an all-mahogany body that emphasizes warmth, depth and full-bodied midrange response, complemented by expressive Guild Vibrato and punchy Alnico V HB-2+ humbuckers. Deluxe appointments preserve the sophisticated presentation associated with the model, while modern Grover tuners and adjustable bridge hardware keep the experience practical and dependable. Vintage-inspired without being constrained by the past, the Starfire Deluxe SC GVT Mahogany pairs classic Guild semi-hollow character with a warm, resonant voice and versatile modern performance.
