Found this Owner's Manual on eBay for my 1999 Starfire II, and wondering if indeed it was what would have come with the guitar in 1999. Assume so, since it references FMIC and has a Scottsdale, AZ address. A hangtag came with it that matched the hangtag I already had, if anyone is looking for one. Does anyone out there have a 1999 Guild pricelist? I've only seen them for the 80's and 2001.

Thanks much for the musicmansteve link, but it turns out that my Starfire II is not from 1999. Hans Moust pointed out that the online Guild dating list is wrong, and that my guitar is late 1997, not late 1999. So now I need a 1997 catalog/price list instead. But I would gather that my hangtag and owner's manual are still appropriate.

Musicmansteve does have a photo of the original 1997-98 GUILD GALLERY supplement, with a full-page photo of my black Starfire II. Oddly, it says "the blonde and sunburst fiinishes are maple bodies while the red and black finishes have bodies of mahogany." But I have a black maple body. So I guess nothing is firm.

I have the '97 catalog(s). What is it you're looking for?

Would like to have copies of the Starfire II page(s) and the 97/98 price. I think I can get a PDF from musicmansteve, but the Guild Supplement he shows doesn't have a pricesheet.

Both the '97 and '97/98 SFII/III pages will be released very soon (maybe today) in my '97 SFIII review. I do not have a '97 or '98 price list. As a preview/taste, here is the '97 catalog page along with the cover:

That's a beauty, Steve! Love the black finish!

BTW, I have had dealing with "musicmansteve" in the past. His web site is very out of date in regard to what he actually has available.
