Guild adds to its Newark St. Collection with new options on the popular Starfire IV model. For the first time in decades, guitarists can now get hold of a Guild Starfire IV in a classically brilliant Black finish…

The Guild Newark St. Collection marks the return of classic Guild electric favorites from the 1950s and ’60s.

The Guild Newark St. Starfire IV marks the welcome return of a highly popular semi-hollow Guild classic, with a graceful double-cutaway thinline body and incomparable tone and feel. The original Starfire IV was prized by many guitarists from the mid-1960s onward (including Buddy Guy) as a distinctively rocking instrument, and its spirit and design pervade this new model. Other premium features include a rock-solid three-piece neck, special vintage-style LB-1 “Little Bucker” pickups and the classically brilliant Black finish. Also available in Cherry Red.
