I have a Guild Starfire IV with the serial number CW000198. The color is tobacco sunburst. Can you tell me the year of manufacture of this guitar?

Welcome to LTG. Your Starfire IV should be from year 2004, but could potentially be also from 2005. Hans Moust will probably correct me if she is a 2005.

The sticker in the guitar says that it was built in Corona California.

Correct, Guild was located in the Fender/FMIC factory in Corona between end of 2001 and 2005. During 2005 Guild production of the acoustic models moved to Tacoma, WA and the electric models like the Starfires were discontinued.
