Just joined today and wondered if anyone has info on my guitar. It's a Guild Starfire III, serial # 43516, which is also stamped on the back of the headstock. I can't find any information on year or anything else for that matter. It was given to me between 1967 and 1969, but I know that doesn't officially date it. I'm not finding any serial numbers that resemble this one. It's got a few dings (I got it when I was in Jr. High and was careless) but still has a sweet sound. Any information would be appreciated, as my research seems to turn nothing up. Thanks for your help.

That was sure fast! Thank you very much Hans. It needs a little work that I can't do, and I just wanted to know its "birthday" before I brought it to a luthier. I appreciate the info.

You've found out that Hans is perhaps the world's leading authority on Guild guitars. He provides so much great information here on the forum.
