Hello all, first post here. I tried using the search function but couldn’t find much useful info. I’m looking at getting a Newark Street Starfire III later this year and would like opinions on whether to go for a LB 1 equipped model or a Dynasonic one.
I have two guitars with Guild Dynasonics - a Gretsch Electromatic Jet and a partscaster Esquire so I know that I like them (even if they’re not that accurate to old ones). I have a HS Filtertron equipped Gretsch G5422 and an Epiphone Riviera with mini humbuckers also.
I was initially drawn to a Dyna Starfire III for the light weight and similar tones to my Jet, but the more I read about the LB-1 pickups, the more curious I get, even with the volume difference people complain about. So what’s people’s preference in these guitars? Any comparison videos of the two pickup types in a Starfire III?
Thanks in advance
