The guitar label is a Westerly Label and the serial # is not on any charts I am finding
Right, charts actually stop at '97.The guitar label is a Westerly Label and the serial # is not on any charts I am finding
How does Hans know?
Because he was literally scavenging the dumpsters at Westerly while it was being shut down, and has possession of any existing production records from there, as well as any additional info given by owners from various places over the years.
It has been confirmed (Thanks Hans) it is a 2000
{insert pulsing red-faced embarrassment icon here}Are we entering the Guild realm of "alternative facts?" :-D
Then it is exactly the same guitar as mine, which is one of my all-time favorite Guilds:
I notice yours has a black switch tip when the one i am looking at seems to be all metal. Is there anything to that??
3/2/17: I have the option to buy a Guild Starfire IV with natural blonde finish with less than 12 hours playing time, a virtually unused instrument in excellent condition, for $1200. It comes with the original Guild case and owner’s manual. This Guild is one of the last from the Westerly, Rhode Island plant late 2000 or early 2001. Do you think this sounds like a good deal? Do you know which pickups this is likely to have? It has a Westerly label with serial number AG001482.

Is this the one in NJ Craigslist?
I can't see your picture but of the two top side adjustment screws are closer together its the Fender Buckers (which I happen to like and you can hear in my vid in "From the Stage")
If they are both more towards the out side edges of the bezel they should be the Duncans.
Check out GAD's (member name) posts about pickups. He put out a very helpful and thorough piece about the pickups.
I would make sure the frets, neck, truss rod screw ect...are all good, straight and functional.. and not worry too much about the pickups....but that just me...

Here's a picture of the pickups. Fender, I guess?
