Parks’ band, Swamp Cabbage, plays funky blues on old Guilds exclusively and rehearses in the old Neumann Leathers building in Hoboken!

The Starfire Bass debuted in ’65
The original pickups also came from Hagström
placement of the pickup
A two-pickup Starfire Bass was introduced in ’67
By the early ’70s, the Starfire’s pickup was moved to the neck position, with a Guild humbucker replacing the Hagstrom Bi-Sonic (though neck-position versions with Bi-Sonics stayed in production for some time). Handrests were moved, offset between the pickup and bridge, and the bridge plate acquired an asymmetrical silhouette that referenced the harp-shaped tailpiece found on many Guild electric guitars.
