How to choose
Choose a Starfire I DC mainly by finish, since the guitar itself is the same across all three.
Beginner
A newer player can pick whichever colour appeals most, since all three Starfire I DC guitars play the same way. Start with lighter strings, keep the guitar on a stand rather than leaning it against furniture, and wipe down the finish after each session to keep it looking sharp.
Intermediate
Players moving up will notice the semi-hollow body opens up more midrange and sustain than a solidbody, so try it through a clean amp setting first to hear the natural resonance. The vibrato tailpiece version adds subtle pitch shimmer, useful for surf or rockabilly styles.
Expert
Experienced players can use the Starfire I DC's air-filled chamber to get natural overdrive breakup at lower volumes than a solidbody needs. Watch for feedback at high stage volumes given the hollow chamber, and store it in stable humidity since the semi-hollow construction is more sensitive to dryness than a solid body.
