Help Me identify this Guild

[F30]

I've been trying to find where I got this pic from and can't seem to locate it on the web.
Does anyone know if this is an original stock Guild?
Are those pickups correct for that headstock?
Do you think it was refinished?
What is it? ... A Starfire III
Anyone know what year it could be with respect to the Headstock, Pickups, Guild Bigsby, Knobs,etc.?
This thing is so cool I've got it up as my desktop background.

This could be a 62' because that headstock looks right and the Guild book says that Guild came out with its own version of a humbucker in 62'
but I'm not sure about those knobs with that tailpice for 62'.

But someone could have replaced a set of DeArmonds on an earlier model.... :?

Found it, It's a 64'
Great story behind this guitar

Now I'm confused...Did Guild change headstock shape in 64"
Look at this 1964 Starfire 3:

You need a copy of the Guild Bible. At least the Old Testament. :lol:

Hans' book says that after 1964 most of the headstocks had the 'raised center' profile. Quick scan did not give a more specific date.

Very sweet! The obvious answer man would be Hans, but referring to the Guild Guitar Book may provide the answer for you. Check out this guitar currently for sale. It is a '62, and sports the older headstock and DeArmond pups. The asking price is way too high, but for the right price...hmmmmm.

Yeah, as much as I have come to love the ol' Guilds that deos seem a bit pricey for that one.
Nice guitar though.
