Hi all,
I believe I’m about to buy a ‘97 Starfire 4 – mahogany, think it has those Seymour Duncan pickups that GAD likes (thanks GAD, for your pickup id tips!). Anyway, if I don’t get this one, I will get one some day as I’ve wanted one ever since I played a ‘62 in a music store and the notes went right inside me– loved it!
My question to you all is, what is your favorite amp to play a Starfire through?
I played that ‘62 through a Hot Rod Deluxe that sounded quite nice.
Would it sound good through an acoustic amp?
I’ve mostly played acoustic up to this point, mostly strum but pick a few notes finger style (Is a Starfire a good strumming/ rhythm guitar?). I’d love to hear what amps you like for these.
