Hiya,
I have been interested in owning a Starfire. I love the look and enjoy the sound although I haven't been able to ever play one - they are not available in Portugal. Unfortunately, my judgements on sound rely solely in what I hear in music clips on YT etc. So I would appreciate any feedback on the difference in sound between the models and pick ups. I understand the III, IV and V all came originally with the same humbuckers. I understand that all became available later with larger HBs and made by different brands (guild, fender, SD). I also see that the II and III have a different body and are more hollow than the IV/V. So all in all, what are the key differences in sound? What changes with the pickups and with the formats?
thanks
Pedro
