I've been thinking about it for awhile... can't decide if this color reminds me of root beer, or chocolate. 😊


All kidding aside, as much as the earlier Hagstrom bisonics are talked about in Guild conversations, I think these Westerly humbuckers have plenty of tonal merit. I had a set in a DeArmond Starfire II, still do actually... finally remembered who I loaned it out to! 😄


Nice bass, and not really common to see one with figured wood either.

Nice bass and the figured maple looks great. Wish this had been up before I started a build as I have been l looking for a nice starfire for a number of years. Good luck with sale.

Add another $700 and I will include a brand new pair of Novak BS-DS pickups and a new pair of push-pull volume controls for the coil tap feature for each pickup.
