The Guild Starfire IV CH Semi-Hollow Archtop Cherry Red is a six-string semi-hollowbody electric guitar featuring an arched laminated mahogany body, a mahogany/maple neck, a rosewood fingerboard, and a cherry red finish. This semi-hollow body guitar marks a welcome return of a highly popular Guild classic with a graceful double-cutaway thinline body and incomparable tone and feel.
This Starfire IV features a rock-solid three-piece neck, vintage-style LB-1 Little Bucker pickups and a classically brilliant Cherry Red finish. Equipped with LB-1 pickups that are replicas of Guild’s original humbuckers, this guitar offers an array of tones from sparkly clean single coil-esque spank to thick and warm humbucker sounds that fatten and sing when driven.
