Maybe Hans has the back story on this one and what year this happened. It has a Starfire II/III serial number (also stamped on the headstock), but it's clearly an SF V (block inlays, MV, Bigsby, roller bridge).
Yes, the guitar seems to be a 1998 or even 1999 one. Let's see if Hans will comment regarding GGs question.Looks like it has Fender HB1's. M
I searched the archives and could not find anything about SF V's with strange serial numbers. I found posts about a SF4 with an SF5 number, a SF3 with an SF4 and duplicate serial numbers for X-500s from 1988 that were re-used in 1993. I guess this one just adds to the "mistakes" made at Westerly.
