1996 Guild Starfire II, Maple (Sold) Excellent Condition. A rare and beautiful bass. A short (30.75") scale bass, the double-cut, semi-hollow design gives this axe some geniune thunder. This baby can move some air. Upgraded to highly regarded Hammon "Dark Star" pickups. The Dark Star pickup by Hammon Engineering, a passive high output pickup, is an exceptional modern interpretation of the Hagstrom/Guild Bi-Sonic pickups that were used by Guild in the 60s. Full Specs below. This bass became iconic in the late 60s and early 70s in the hands of Jack Casady (Jefferson Airplane) and Phil Lesh (Grateful Dead).
