Guild Starfire VI Special — Kingswood Green (2016, Newark St. Collection)
Crafted in South Korea in 2016 as part of Guild’s Newark St. Collection, this Starfire VI Special represents a highly refined interpretation of Guild’s iconic semi-hollow lineage, built with a level of precision and consistency associated with instruments produced alongside PRS.
Finished in the rare and now-discontinued Kingswood Green, this model occupies a distinctive place within the Newark St. series — a limited production variation that has become increasingly difficult to source in this condition.
The instrument offers a rich, resonant voice with a pronounced, blooming midrange, articulate top-end clarity, and a naturally responsive dynamic range. It reacts effortlessly to the player’s touch, delivering depth and nuance across clean and driven tones alike.
Construction and feel are exceptional throughout: structurally solid, highly resonant, and perfectly balanced. The Bigsby vibrato system adds a layer of expressive control while maintaining excellent tuning stability, complementing the instrument’s refined character.
Maintained in immaculate condition and consistently stored in its case, this is a collector-grade example of a discontinued Guild model — combining rarity, aesthetic presence, and tonal sophistication in a way that stands out within the current market.
