Presenting my Starfire trilogy

[jmix]

Hi!

This is not my first post to the forum (but not far, though), but I think I have to tell a bit about myself again in this topic as I think my first post was not really at the right place to do this.

I live in France and I am the happy owner (and sadly very bad player :mrgreen: ) of 3 cherry red Starfire's.
BTW, I bought 2 of them from a well respected forum member (hi Mike!). ;-)

Here they come :


From left to right:
- 61' Starfire III
- 66' Starfire V
- 66' Starfire XII

Cheers!

SWEET! I love red Guilds!

 

[AcornHouse]

Ooooh! So jealous! :mrgreen:

Is it my imagination, or a trick of the lens, but does the Starfire III have a long scale length (25.5), while the others have the short scale (24.75)? It looks so much bigger than the others.

Bienvenue!

Me too, gotta love those cherry Starfires. Beautiful grouping!

 

[Fixit]

Well since we are sharing Starfire trio's :lol:

Merci beaucoup!

The SF-iii is only closer to the lens, I'm very far from being a professional photographer. ;-)

Awesome!
That could do a nice sextet, couldn't it? :roll:
Too much XII's, maybe... :wink:

Wonderful!
So we've got 2 cherry trilogies and 1 sunburst trilogy... no green, black nor amber trilogy? :?: :wink:

 

[Thunderface]

Un, deux, trois examples of Guild Starfire Goodness right there!

Hi Jean-Michel, Very nice trio indeed. And two of them look so familiar. Since we are adding trios of starfires to this wonderful thread, I have three more here. On left a '63 SFIII, In the middle a 67 SFV with brown designation and on the right a '74 blond SF6. Keep posting my friend. It will be good to see and hear from you more. MB

Hey is that Norah Jones' guitar on the left? :wink:

(Should have just sent him over here! :lol: )

 

[mbrindell]

Yes, exactly the same. 1963 Guild starfire III with Dearmonds. What a killer guitar too.

Bonjour Pascal !

I go on in English as most people here don't speak French (even if I don't speak english fluently). :?
I live near Toulouse, what about you?
edit: I've just noticed that you live in Florida. It's funny, as both my 6 string starfires were sent from Florida!

I wish I could find some nice guitars in Carrefour supermarkets, or even in local guitar shops, but it's far easier to find Squier or Ibanez new guitars than vintage Guilds around here! :lol:

Yes, exactly the same. 1963 Guild starfire III with Dearmonds. What a killer guitar too.

If you ever want to sell that one be sure to contact me!!
