Had been playing mainly Gibsons since 1971 until the early 90s when I got my first Starfire
I suspect that you must be quite good at playing these, and as well, must be not bad at picking a guitar to buy.
On a slightly different topic, during all the glory days of rock I pocketed a good amount of $ on drums, and I wasn't into it just for the playing, I liked working it. As the antithesis, suddenly I became interested in a more acoustic sound for my own listening. After playing rock in clubs (Aerosmyth, Ted Nugent, Bad Co., etc) for about 2-5 nights a week I preferred to listen to Emmylou Harris, Leo Kottke, Herb Pederson, Lind hondstant, and also play the softer material on acoustic guitar.
I owned a really nice, virtually new, 1997 maple Starfire III. I really regret selling it, but never got around to working out the material for that guitar.
3 years later I gave noticed that the cost of a nice slightly used Starfire has increased a good bit. I seriously doubt if they will ever drop in value any time soon. Now If I want another one it will cost me about $400+ more than just a short time ago, according to my calculations.
