Is it a Starfire IV or a V

Can anyone help with this conflicting info on my Starfire
The serial # on the headstock is EL 2333 which indicates Starfire IV
The label inside the body reads EN 2333 - Starfire V
Neither serial #'s are listed in any research I have found.
This guitar is Cherry Red, with a Bigsby tremolo bar and block position markers. Is this a IV or V and what year?
Thank you

Hello Starfire,

Welcome,

Your guitar is a Starfire V. The serial number on the headstock, # EL-2333, was stamped with the EL-prefix by mistake. It should have been # EN-2333. This is the kind of mistake that happened from time to time. Your guitar is from 1970.

Thanks Hans
I haven't been able to figure out the differences between the IV's and V's some had bigsby's. I bought this in 1976 and it was my only axe for years. Now I am passing it on to my son. I've just had the neck repaired and some minor cosmetic stuff.
Thanks again
