an amazing guitar!
I've got a '61 with the DeArmond Dynasonic single-coils ... but despite the difference in pickups, most of these Starfires are loaded with humbuckers (the single-coils are brighter and crisper ... think rockabilly instead of rock), it is, without a doubt, the finest electric guitar I have played. mellow and sweet when it's clean, and dirty and iin-your-face when it's overdriven ... perfect!
Avg price: $2,350.00
It don't get much better than this!
Peter McMahon designed and built this little 25-watt howler ... cleans, when you need 'em, and breakup, too ... An amp EVERYONE should own!
Avg price: $1,999.00
a monster!
Mine is Fiesta Red ... but it's chambered mahogany body and the updated DeArmond 2000 single-coil pickups are a perfect match ... she moans and howls and sets my heart aflame. Her sound is bright and insistent, demanding and taking her place in the middle of the music ... if you can find one (they were only made at the Guild Custom Shop in Nashville for a couple of years) ... get one! You'll be glad that you did!
