Just for fun, I decided to see when my guitar was made. I bought it new in late January 2000.
The serial number is AG001374, sticker says Guild Westerly RI, etc.
The data bases I've checked list up to 1999. However, the last number they list is AG000937... does this mean mine was made on loading dock or in transit? I'm not worried if it is the "real deal", it just seems a bit odd that mine is a few hundred higher than their top number. Any of you sleuths know why this might be?

Hello Emery,

Your Guild Starfire IV was completed during the year 1999, and by the way, that last number you referred to, #AG000937, is the last one for 1997.
The 'official' serial number list is a little 'funny' that way.

Sincerely,

Hans Moust
