Hi everyone!
I was lucky enough to stumble upon this site last night, and there is great information here. I had a couple of questions, so I'll do my best to make it brief and not sound like an idiot.
For years my "player" guitar on stage was a Guild Starfire V. I believe it is a 1999 (serial number CH002311) from the Westerly shop. Eventually I gave up the ghost, and put this baby up. Now I want to rehab it, and realized it has been sorely neglected. For some reason I cannot upload pictures (strike that - pics now uploaded), but I've got rust on the pickup screws, rust on the bigsby, and while I was cleaning it the other day I accidentally adjusted the bridge heighth and now the strings won't stay on.
I know guitars aren't rocket science, but I was wondering if there was a thread on here (I searched and didn't see anything) that talks about replacement parts for this particular model, best way to set up, etc. Now that I'm older and actually care about my instruments, I want to get this thing looking and sounding great again. Any help would be appreciated, and thanks!!!!
