Guild Starfire: ES-335, SchmES-335

November 28, 2008
Guild Starfire at Modern Music

We check in at Modern Music where the dominance of the Gibson ES-335 is challenged. We take a look at the Guild Starfire, a similar semi-hollowbody that rivals the blues legend of the ES-335. One surprising aspect of this rivalry is that Guild takes it straight to Gibson's heart with their own, USA-built humbuckers, the bread and butter of most Gibson guitars.
