Thanks again for all the great 'welcomes'!!! Great to be on the forum and glad the Aristocrat is such a big drool-inducer!

I feel like I need to take some better pics to do her justice :D

I'm thinking "you can take better pics of that beauty?" Can't imagine it looking better than it does in the photos you provided already. About the only way I think it could look better is if you take some shots of it outside in the natural light.

Here are just a few examples...

Treem's '74 Starfire VI

Qvart's '73 S-100 Carved, '77 S-100 Standard and '97 DV-72

Fixit's '74 S-100 Carved and '64 T-100D (that he worked his restoration magic on)

and my refinished '64 Polara S-100

Treem, and just above everyone else, will concur. It's Treem's story about how he came into possession of the Starfire VI, but I'll tell it and I don't think he'll mind ...

It all started with this '73 sunburst M-75 Bluesbird ...

... which Treem traded to LTGer Afterglo for a '66 Starfire V

... until he found the neck volute bothered his once-injured thumb, so he sold it to LTGer militsadrummer so that he could acquire the Starfire VI.

Just a little insight into how it works around here in our friendly little corner of the world.

All, just found out that I will not be able to bring this one w/ me to Luxembourg in November, so I'm offering it up in the FS/FT area...

A hearty thanks for the information and the help! I'll still be around on the forum, would like to pick up another Guild someday!
