I'd say Hoboken NJ in 1966, according to Guild's own notoriously inconsistent dating chart.

 

[Fixit]

WOW :!: Nice Starfire. Welcome, and hang around it's a great place

 

[Walter Broes]

Hoboken, most definitely. Welcome to LTG, nice guitar you have there.

Green-O-roosky! Nice. I have a Cherry Red '66 Starfire III. It's a great guitar, especially for any type of 1960's style rock stuff.

Enjoy and welcome.

YOW!

[truetone]

Thanks for the warm welcome guys! This a cool forum and I'm glad to be here. I got this guitar at my favorite local store and it didn't even cost me any money out of pocket...they traded me the Guild for these 3 guitars(below). Do you thing that is a good deal?

 

[zulu]

Heck yes that's a screaming deal.

So, tell me about the artwork on the wall. It's trippin' me out.

Yep, I think you'd have to be happy with that deal. I'd take that One, over the other Three, hands down. Well done!
:lol: I second the above...on Both counts. Trippy stuff! 8)

 

[NEONMOONY]

You didn't lose much on the Bullets. I don't know much about the Gibson but looks like a deal to me.

 

[walrus]

You have jumped to the top in the "greatest entrances ever" contest! Wow!!!

Welcome!

Welcome. I love those green Starfires, so I've set an alert to let me know about them. I actually posted about your guitar not that long ago. Since you bought the guitar, my alert has been going off almost daily, alerting me to your posts across the web. I see that you've posted about your new acquisition on Harmony Central, The Gear Page, Off Set Guitars, and Gretsch Talk. I was wondering how long it would take you to find us!

Btw, what are those little switches that have been installed? Are they phase switches?

EDIT: I see you that you answered my question about the phase switches on TGP. Didn't notice that till now. Phase switches indeed.
