Very bright unfaded cherry finish; body triple bound; front, back, and fingerboard single bound. Original Grover 'Sta-tite' tuners and Hagstrom 'adjust-o-matic' bridge. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGreat-playing and spectacular-sounding guitar, with a tone you could describe as a 1950's Gretsch crossed with an ES-330, but with an additional high-end 'snap'.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOverall length is 41 1\/2 in. (105.4 cm.), 16 1\/2 in. (41.9 cm.) wide at lower bout, and 2 in. (5.1 cm.) deep. Scale length is 24 3\/4 in. (629 mm.). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll original with some minor playing wear. A nicely preserved guitar with only small finish dings; even the often-shrunken headstock veneer is perfect, as is all the binding. Original hardshell case has typical edgewear. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese formerly under-appreciated 1960's guitars are finally becoming better known and respected, and this is a particularly nice example. Excellent Condition.","brand":"Guild","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46853103386764,"sku":"2624","price":1850.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/8702\/3756\/files\/01_832e9daf-c934-45ec-b622-0f95741c4d0f.jpg?v=1774331449","url":"https:\/\/retrofret.com\/products\/guild-starfire-ii-thinline-hollow-body-electric-guitar-1963-2624","provider":"RetroFret","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
