Guild Guitars today introduced the Starfire Deluxe bass—the newest addition to its Newark St. Collection. 

These basses are reimagined versions of some of Guild’s most iconic semi-hollow electric instruments. Part of the Newark St. Collection, they faithfully honor their ’60s-era legacy of exceptional quality and vibe while also adding contemporary touches that make them more relevant to today’s players. Numerous Starfire models were introduced throughout the 1960s, including both single- and double-cutaway guitars available with various pickup configurations and finishes and two basses. John Lennon, Dave Davies, Buddy Guy, Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, and Tom Fogerty all played Starfire guitars, and Phil Lesh and Jack Casady played Starfire basses.

“The Newark St. Collection honors our ’60s-era legacy of exceptional quality and vibe while also adding contemporary touches that make the guitars and basses more relevant to today’s players,” said Nick Beach, Product Manager, Fretted Instruments. “The Starfire Custom and Starfire Deluxe guitars and the Starfire Deluxe bass are reimagined versions of some of our most iconic electric instruments.” 

The Guild Starfire Deluxe Bass is a modern reimagining of the classic Starfire Bass II. Guild semi-hollow body basses were popularized in the 1960s by prominent rock players, who crafted full and rich tones aided by the instruments’ BS-1 BiSonic single-coil pickups. The Starfire Deluxe Bass is available in Sweet Tea and Teal the Deal gloss finishes.
