Limited-edition Model of an Iconic Short-scale Bass
Grab your Starfire I Limited-edition Bass Guitar from Sweetwater while we still have them. This punchy short-scale bass captures eyes and ears with its blissful grooves and classic '60s character. A mix of Starfire semi-hollow construction and BC-1 BiCoil pickups contribute to the organic, resonant sonics and chunky low-end grind found within this rad bass. Thanks to a 30.75-inch scale length, the Starfire I Limited Edition finds a comfortable place in the hands of young players while opening up new frontiers of playability for long-scale bass players. Its Thin-"U" profile mahogany neck urges you to explore its Indian Rosewood fretboard and incorporate unconventional bass techniques into your playing, such as chording, bends, and feverish runs. Part vintage, part contemporary, yet completely timeless: that’s the Guild Starfire I Limited Edition!

Exceptionally playable short-scale neck
The short (30.75-inch) scale length of the Starfire I Limited Edition bass makes it easier to navigate the fretboard. It's perfect for beginners and players with smaller hands, but anyone can enjoy this eminently playable semi-hollow bass. The short-scale length lets you comfortably play anywhere on the smooth, beautiful rosewood fingerboard. Just plug the Starfire I bass into your bass amp, and you'll see what we mean.
Thinline semi-hollowbody for comfortable playing and rich tone
Try as you may, you just can't get the same vibrant, overtone-rich sound of a hollowbody bass with a traditional solidbody. Instead of giving you a bulky instrument, Guild gave the Starfire I a thinline body style that provides the woody thump of a hollow instrument, plus the easy-playing comfort of a traditional bass. In short, the Guild Starfire I has all the tones and playability you want in a bass.
Based on the classic '60s Starfire
Classic rock recordings have no shortage of warm and groovy bass tones served up by hollowbody instruments. Bands like The Byrds and Jefferson Airplane relied on the original Starfire bass for their rhythmic foundation. With the Guild Starfire I semi-hollowbody bass, you can get that vibe, too.
