The Epiphone casino is definitely a classic, recorded on incredible albums in the hands of greats like John Lennon the casino sound is one that defined the 60s, however, when considering the modern era it may have its flaws:
- Hard reach for soloing do to the point of union between neck and body
- Too much feedback with overdriven tones.
The casino is the perfect guitar for the player who wants to recreate the 60's sound, play the classics, recommended for the players who like vintage sounds, not for the modern rocker.
The fender telecaster has sound, playability and feels that have survived since the beginning of the solid body guitar history, this is an insurance of great quality. The sound of the Tele can be heard across all decades, from the 50s to present, and this standard model is worthy of this legacy.
The best word i could use to describe this guitar is potential, being the standard its easy to change parts with any after market tele parts (of which are many in stores), feature that is great if you want to create your own version of the telecaster
Like Guild says, this guitar is "Made to be played". The Starfire V is a guitar that feels true to the 60's era, the guild proprietary pickups give the guitar a sound that is unique distinguishing it from similar style guitars with humbuckers like the ES-335, having a well defined bottom end with a great emphasis on the mid-highs that make the guitar cut through the mix. The construction screams quality, there is no part of the guitar that feels cheap, from the wood to the bone, there is no doubt the guild Starfire V will set you back to the 60s with an incredible sound and quality.
