From what I can tell, most of the people here seem to be older than me. And some of y’all have been playing guitar longer than I’ve been alive (I’m 30), which I’m somewhat counting on that for the question: What do you do when you have a guitar (or any instrument I suppose) that you are...

Hello hello!! Quick question - Does anyone have any experience with the Mono M80 Dual electric soft case? I am trying to find out if my NS Starfire V (Guildsby equipped) can squeeze in. Long explanation: I am finding myself in a bit of a pickle. I have 3 "main" guitars that are in constant...

A music shop recently opened in my area. ONLY place that stocks Guild. It’s absolutely thrilling! And possibly devastating to my “if I buy one I have to sell one” policy regarding guitars. I picked up a D20 all mahogany. I enjoyed it. But when I put a capo on it I was shocked to find that the...

Not specifically a Guild question, but I'm hoping y'all can help. I recently picked up a new guitar. It's a jazzmaster shape, but has 2 Lollar p90's instead of jazz master pickups. 3 way toggle, individual V/T configuration. I've noticed that the pots do not respond like any of my other guitars...

Hello!! Hope y’all are doing well. I’ll be honest. I’ve never posted over on this side of the forum before. I typically hangout in the hollow body section. I’m considering buying a bass guitar. My first inkling was to pickup a squire jazz bass. I figured it’d be able to play anything...

Hey everybody. Does anyone know what year Guild switched over from nitro finishes to poly? I’d love a nitro finished starfire. On a separate but similarly themed note. Anyone know a place to get a poly guitar stripped and refinished? Nothing crazy, just a solid color or traditional burst. No...

Hey everyone! I’ve recently started singing (which historically has been dangerous). But it’s becoming more of s regular thing at church, especially for the youth group. I’ve been learning a lot and trying to study it so I can do my best. I recently heard about people trying to match their...

I have a D’Angelico Brighton in a limited edition color (rose gold). It’s #22 of 50 made. Think about it as an SG shape with an insane neck join. You can make B shape barre chords on the 19th fret with ease. I love everything about this guitar. Color. Finish. Satin neck. Well…every thing except...

Short Version: can I make my semi hollow Starfire V quieter acoustically? I have a NS Starfire V. It has been my go to guitar since Jan 2017. I’ve picked up a few new guitars since then but everything gets measured against my guild. I love it!! I use a Line 6 Helix LT as my main rig. And I use...

Does anyone know if the Guildsby's found on the Newark Street collection guitars are licensed bigsby copies? Or something different? I am looking for replacement parts without having to buy a whole new unit from the guild website (they're out of stock anyway). I would love to put some Callahan...

Hey hey! Hope everyone is doing well. I haven't been on in a little while, unfortunately. Just crazy busy. I had a wild herring idea and was wondering if the NS guild little bucker pickup cavities would fit a typical p90 size. Does anyone know if this works or is possible?

So I took my only guild (NS Starfire V) in to my favorite shop because the pots were a little scratchy. It was like that when I bought it a few years ago (I’m just now realizing that I’ve had it for 3 and a half years! Wow!!) But I used some contact cleaner and they were mostly fine. So I moved...

Hey friends! Not really a guild specific question. But I recently acquired a guitar so I could start to learn the ins and outs and do some at home upgrades without the worry of ruining one of my main instruments. Anyway. Got a cool deal on reverb and picked up a guitar I'm quite happy with. But...

Hello! Can anyone tell me what year a SF4 would be if the Serial Number is: AG001065 I found this website but I know that Guild serial numbers don't always "follow the rules." It has the SF4 on the headstock. Not the full written out Starfire. I think the pickups have been swapped out for...

I took a leap, and purchased a Line6 Helix LT. If you don't know what it is it is a multi effects pedal that also does an amp model in the signal chain. So it's all in one. Went back and forth for a while, but bit the bullet and went for it. This thing is outstanding! Cleans are pristine as you...

So I was playing my NS Starfire V recently and noticed some gunk on the finish from sweat and the like (it's hot here in Florida, and fairly warm even this time of year). Which got me thinking, "how long would it take to wear through or wear down the finish on this guitar so that it looks old...

So I know the difference in specs between the Starfire iv, ivst, and v. Maple vs mahogany. Stop tail vs Bigsby vs harp. Rosewood based bridge, not. Etc etc. BUT! Has anyone played both side by side? Is there a considerable difference sonically and/or in tone? Just different woods and...

So there are two mods I have in mind, both of which are quite reversible if necessary. But does anyone have any experience with a Treble Bleed Circuit (supposedly keeps the highs in when you roll off the volume) with a Starfire? Does anyone have any experience with Out of Phase with a Starfire...

Not quite Guild specific, but It is inspired by my Starfire V. I love blending the neck and bridge volume knobs, but I also find that I ride the master volume knob A LOT. I've got another guitar that has a Humbucker Sized P90 in the Neck, and a Humbucker in the Bridge, along with three knobs...

So I've got a NS SFV that I really enjoy. But do have a bit of GAS and some neat ideas. Unfortunately it won't be possible to accomplish everything so I'm trying to consolidate by combining ideas. which may be dangerous. Has anyone tried to route the PU cavity on a NS Starfire and put full size...
