Overview

Guild STARFIRE I 12 DC 12-String Electric Guitar

The Guild Starfire I-12 is a semi-hollow 12-string electric guitar that delivers versatile Guild tone and vintage-inspired character at exceptional value. Featuring a double-cutaway semi-hollow mahogany body with an arched top, this electric guitar produces rich resonance and sustain, enhanced by a solid mahogany centre block that reduces feedback for reliable live performance.

Designed for comfort and playability, the Modern Thin U-profile mahogany set neck and 24.75"" scale length provide a smooth, familiar feel, while the Indian rosewood fingerboard ensures effortless fretting across all twelve strings. This makes the Starfire I-12 ideal for both rhythm and lead work, from shimmering chords to melodic lines.

Equipped with Guild HB-2 humbucking pickups featuring Alnico II magnets, the Starfire I-12 delivers classic PAF-style warmth and clarity, with the added sparkle and chime of a 12-string electric guitar. Dual volume and tone controls, along with push/pull coil-split switches, offer a wide tonal range, from vintage ‘60s jangle to fuller, more powerful modern tones.

Premium hardware includes a Guild Tune-o-matic bridge with a nickel tailpiece for enhanced sustain and tuning stability, paired with Guild closed gear nickel tuners for precise and reliable tuning. Combining timeless semi-hollow design with modern flexibility, the Starfire I-12 is an ideal electric guitar for players seeking iconic 12-string sound with contemporary performance.
