Starr Guitars - Classic "T" Series

Classic Style. True to a “T”.

It’s the classic style that put the solid-body electric guitar on the map and it’s this style that makes it the oldest solid-body electric guitar model in the commercial market today. Its unmistakably rich, punchy tone revolutionized popular music and its simple design has withstood the test of time since the middle of the 20th century. Although it goes by many names, Starr Guitars calls it the Classic T series.

The Starr Guitars Classic T ‘53 is built from today’s best boutique parts and stays true to its vintage roots and original construction with a one-piece maple neck bolted to a flat surface off-center seam, lightweight Alder or Swamp Ash body, two vintage-voiced custom single-coil Peter Florence pickups, compensated Callaham saddles, a T-style control plate and a 5-screw, single-ply pickguard.

The Starr Guitars Classic T does have one modern twist: a compound radius fretboard. Combined with the “soft-V” neck profile, this little secret makes the Classic T as comfortable to play as any modern counterpart. Starr Guitars also offers the Classic T ’61 with real clay dots on a Madagascar Rosewood fretboard.

The Classic T series comes in Starr Guitars’ trademark Truer Than Vintage nitrocellulose finish. For those wanting to impress on the stage, the Starr Guitars Father Time finish can take any Classic T series guitar from showroom new to closet classic all the way to road warrior.

Hand built and crafted with pride in the U.S.A. using the best in period-inspired boutique parts and hardware, the Starr Guitars Classic T series is “The” guitar for the serious T-style player.
