I watched a few YouTube videos with headphones on to compare tones, and I preferred the tone on the Starfire I SC and DC to the P90 model and a number of other SC guitars out there. I was very attracted to the coil splitting and the quality of the Guild humbuckers. And, boy, they do NOT disappoint. In person on my Vox amp is even better. Buy the guitar. It's an easy choice.

あ、言うまでもないがサンプル画像と寸分たがわぬカラーをご所望の人はアレでござるか…
ギブソンであれフェンダーであれ、カスタムショップも持っていますが、このGUILDはボディーの色が綺麗、加えて弾きやすく安価で有り、出店者の方が弦高なりベストな状態で送っていただきました。
大変気に入りました。有難うございました。
個人的な見解ですけど、ブラウンに合うのは、グリーンでしょって理由で購入いたしました。
しかしながら、写真のグリーンよりは少し暗めのグリーンでした。
ダブルカッタウェイの弾き心地も快適です。
色の暗さという1点で、星一つ減点させていただきます。
到着時に、まるで、逆反りを隠すかのように、弦をゆるませるのは、酷いな。
トラスロッドの調整が非常にシビアで大変でした😡
輸送中では無く、
発送時既に逆反り中だった可能性が有る。
品質管理に問題が有る。
