    That guitar in that finish is gorgeous. Has sound of early 60s Beatles. Mark you Are an amazing musician and real pro. Never missed a chord when the pick flipped out of your hand. Always a great show.

    All Day and All of the Night, Dave Davies and the Kinks. That was the guitar, his first good guitar that was promptly stolen on the group's legendary ill-fated first trip to these shores (USA). He was crushed and finished the tour with beat up Gibson Flying V. The Guild is a fabulous guitar. Thanks for the excellent demo.

    I'm happy to say that I too own a Starfire III.
    Not too sure of the year, but I got it second hand in the late 70s.
    I love the way it plays.
    And those pickups are hot poop!

    @khayward60 6 років тому +1

    Thanks, I visited Guild in Westerly R.I. for some warranty work, nice people. Then when they moved to the Ovation plant in New Hartford Ct. You could feel the stress. They were unsure of their future, kind of what Gibson must be like now.

  • @brainatoms7259
    @brainatoms7259 3 роки тому

    You gotta play one of these things loud and overdriven. I played a friends recently and once I learned how to control and manipulate the feedback it started to feel like I could cast spells with this thing. It sounded more powerful than it felt in my hands. And when I was playing standard bluesy classic rock riffs I really couldn't believe how good it was sounding. I was also plugged into a Laney which was new for me. The sound and tone I was getting reminded me of Cream and Sabbath. The guitar sounded like an SG to me with a slight Gretsch chime and a lot of feedback. Also the single cut away look on this is my favorite look ever for a guitar.

    I have had the great pleasure of owning for 52 straight years a 65 Starfire V custom order, clear maple body , Bigsby delete, Hagstrom adjust-o-matic floating bridge... This era Guilds are awesome guitars, made by people who lovingly cared. Somebody buy this gorgeous Starfire.. you might just want it the rest of your life...

  • @superkjell

      @jamesthe-doctor8981 6 років тому +1

      Ryan Williams I would have made this same comment if you hadn't! Guild guitars have always been second to none, and their prices have always been comparatively low. Now that people are really discovering the vintage market and figuring it out, a lot of them are finally realizing that many guitars that USED to be considered "second rate," have really been overlooked! The only problem I have with that is that soon, the prices of these kinds of "second rate" guitars will eventually skyrocket. Buy them now, or lose out..

  • @timothycormier3494
    @timothycormier3494 6 років тому

    Maybe they are all over here on the east coast. I live in Massachusetts and I see these around more than never. My cousins got a really nice old guild acoustic. The guy who owns the guitar shop in the next town over. He got a couple of that guitar (star fire ). I guess. Looks like that one. Old guild guitars were great. Now not so much

    Ok, I am starting to dig you guys... keep it up... anyone can get a vintage Gibson or Martin, but let us see some more of those sexy Guilds!!!! My fave electric is a 1978 S-300D in either faded brown or the factory black or a 1970's BluesBird in any damn color!!! for Acoustics, I would like to see a 1967 M-20 or a 1980 SongBird in black. If you can't get any of those old Guilds, then how about an old 70's Hagstrom Swede??
    Thx Mark and Jen!!!!!

    I had a tobacco burst, arch top, f-hole Guild with one soapbar pickup and no cutaway. Found it in a pawn shop in SF in the early 70s for about $80. Put gold Grovers on it and it was a beaut. Guild written in script ala Gibson on the headstock. Had to be early 50s model. Took it to Maui in 76 and it was ripped off. Still miss that guitar.
