Its arched maple top, back, and sides produce bright articulation, open resonance, and impressive sustain across clean and overdriven sounds alike.

Triple Franz P-90 versatility
The Starfire I Jet 90 is equipped with three Guild Franz P-90 Soapbar pickups featuring Alnico II magnets for rich vintage-inspired tone with impressive clarity and attack. These pickups deliver everything from warm jazz voicings and smooth blues textures to gritty overdriven crunch and articulate rock tones. The six-way rotary selector unlocks a wide range of pickup combinations, including bridge and neck pairings not commonly found on traditional guitars. Combined with the responsive master volume and tone controls, the electronics provide exceptional flexibility for players who want expansive tonal options with classic P-90 character and definition.
Comfortable modern playability
The mahogany neck features Guild’s Modern Thin U profile, creating a smooth and comfortable playing experience suited to both rhythm and lead styles. Its slim shape allows effortless movement across the fretboard while remaining supportive for expressive chord work and melodic phrasing. The Indian rosewood fingerboard adds warmth and smooth articulation beneath the fingers while complementing the guitar’s naturally resonant semi-hollow voice. Twenty narrow tall frets provide precise control for bends, vibrato, and detailed phrasing, while the 24.75″ scale length offers a relaxed and familiar feel.
