I just got home from a hundred mile drive to check out this DeArmond Guild Starfire. It was in A#1 condition and I liked the sound so it followed me home. A little heavy for a semi-hollow. Came with OHC and had been up-graded with Sperzel tuners and coil split mini-switches. The GTs sound real nice. Chimy and complex. They work well split. A real clean guitar with practically no fret wear. Neck is not to thin, not to fat. I think these we're made in the Cort factory for DeArmond Guild in the late 90s right after Fender acquired both Guild and DeArmond. The pick-ups are USA made. Everything (Finish, wiring, pots, hardware...) seems very high quality.
P.S. Note the bridge uses small posts. Not the large posts found on most imports.
