we're just a hand full fo Guild freaks and nobody really cares about the US made Guild electrics
New member Paul B's review of his NS Starfire III is encouraging (my emphases):To expect the NS line to instantly create a strong buzz in the jazz community when Guild has not offered a pure jazz guitar since the Benedetto AA and X-500 of the Corona era is unrealistic, especially since those guitars played a relatively small role in professional jazz despite their very high quality... A third problem is that the jazz market is relatively small to begin with, so while Guild is making some NS models that can be used for jazz, the A-150 is in my opinion the only pure jazz guitar, and I'm not sure what the plan is for that.
Hi Steve, thanks for the welcome.
How does the SFIII compare with what? It's totally unlike any of my other electrics, a very light and clean sound, and plays beautifully. I'm still experimenting with the various settrings on my amps, but it doesn't like a lot of distortion, unsurprisingly. It's probably the one I play most at the moment, because it's light, has a superb neck and fingerboard, and I don't always need to plug it in if I just want a quick play. It's one gutar I think I will never get rid of, it's just amazing. A friend of mine has a Gibson ES335 double cutaway, and both he and I prefer the Starfire, it really is that good.
Which is odd, because the guy from Garbage plays a SFIII (though not NS) and he's got plenty distortion on it, and it plays well.New member Paul B's review of his NS Starfire III is encouraging (my emphases):

For sure it's a III and not a IV? (I like what I've heard on the radio but never looked deeply into what he actually has)Which is odd, because the guy from Garbage plays a SFIII (though not NS) and he's got plenty distortion on it, and it plays well.

Or maybe he's got a sound post in it?
Hi
Greetings from the UK!
I am after a Guild jazz guitar, a good one...
What models are still made in the USA?
regards to all
