The Last Bass Outpost

Thanks.
I contacted Guild aswell-:
Thanks for your interest in Guild Guitars!

The term "laminate" means that it isn't one solid piece of wood, it means that there is two pieces of wood glued together rather than one piece of wood top, back and sides. It is indeed real wood, not artificial, it is just sturdier to build them this way.

If you have any additional questions, feel free to respond directly to this email and I'll be happy to address them - please do not modify the subject line of your email reply, as our system will not recognize it.

Have a great day and thanks for choosing Guild!

Plasticbass ?

Im thinking about having one more Starfire (II natural)
-the new Korea-Guild reissue. BUT :

Im concerned : Can you/someone please make clear to me:
What does "laminatet" exactly meen ? ("Laminatet back and body")(Laminatet sides)  - is it ALL real wood in layers ? - like plywood; thin layers of wood, glued/pressed together ?
or is it artificial/syntetic ?
-or wood with an artificial topcoating- layer ?

(the nice looking top and back could be plywood with a topcoating/photo of wood) ?
to me : fake!

I had a DeÁrmond Starfire- desided to change the color and tried to sand the "laq away and on the sides: not possible ; it is plastic all the way.
Pu,s were the uninteresting standards ,ugly tuners ,so I finaly gave it away and got myselve a Guild costombuild Starfire II with ebony fingerboard , no dotmarks, Black bindings, flamed headstock, Darkstars , no mastervol, no pu- toggleswitch.– The King of all sound.   WOOD !

You can mess with my wife, but dont touch my bass !
