Members Perfessor Posted August 7, 2006 Members Share Posted August 7, 2006 Too bad that DeArmand is a short scale, though. They made some real nice instruments back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet changing the whole set of strings is a pain... How expensive can one set of 7 strings be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Thumper Posted August 7, 2006 Members Share Posted August 7, 2006 I like 'em both. The DeArmond is a recent ('90s) reissue of the Starfire. I've played one, and they sound a lot like the original '60s Guild. The Ric looks very nice, but the finish seems kinda flat. Has it been stripped, or is it just the lighting in the picture?

Current MapleGlo's are Blonde in the extreme. It needs some UV exposure! I bet it kicks ass though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
