First time Guild owner here and first post! I have been in solid body land for about two decades, and I just recently picked up my first hollow body (Gretsch 5123). I now realize what I have been missing tonally, and I just today sprung for a 98 RI Starfire II with Hammond Dark Stars already installed. To say I am excited and anxious to receive it would be an understatement!
Searching around, there isn't a lot of info on these specific RI or reviews. I know they are US made, so I assume pretty high quality? Mine looks natural with visible woodgrain. I really wanted a cherry red one, but I couldn't pass this one up with the Dark Stars!
Anyway, hoping to get close to some Dead Europe 72 tones with this.
While I wait impatiently for a probable Wednesday delivery, can anyone tell me more about the 90's reissues?
