DeArmond Dynasonic Pickups

Harry DeArmond developed Dynasonic pickups in the 1940s. They differ significantly from other single-coil pickups and deliver bright, punchy, and clear tones with more than a touch of twang. Dynasonic pickups pair perfectly with semi-hollow body guitars, accentuating the woody and airy aspects of their acoustic tone. The Starfire Custom DC GVT GH Black Metallic includes a Master Volume control in addition to dual Volume and Tone controls, letting you adjust the overall volume without affecting the settings for the individual pickups.

Custom Trim Package

The Guild Custom trim package includes ivory body, headstock, F-hole, and fingerboard binding; an ebony fingerboard with mother-of-pearl and abalone V-block inlays; mother-of-pearl Guild Peak logo and Chesterfield headstock inlays; a tortoise pickguard with silver or gold print; 5-ply black and ivory top and back body purfling; black and ivory F-hole purfling; and an ebony bridge base. The Starfire Custom DC GVT GH Black Metallic also features elegant gold hardware.
