    '90s Guild F-20?

    Hey guys, I'm on the market for an F-20. My present options range from mid 60s Hoboken, and end in Westerly 1990. There aren't really any clear advantages in price. My question is whether there are any significant differences between a 60s, 70s, or 80s/90s F-20. Nut width? Did they switch...

    Guild Starfire 6 Inquiry

    Ive got the opportunity to purchase this late '70s Starfire-6 for $2500. I rarely see them that low, and I'm dubious as to why. I noticed this issue in the back of the headstock. Anyone have some insight or advice? It plays and sounds great, but I'd like to make sure that I'm not missing...

    Got Deoxit on my nitro finish

    Trying out StewMac's Pot Cleaning Cap on my '68 Starfire V, it sprayed all over the top and left a dark stain around the shaft. Any suggested remedies?

    Straplocks for Starfire V

    Hey folks, It's not quite NGD for me yet, but I'm awaiting the arrival of my new '68 Guild Starfire V! When it gets here, I intend to put straplocks on it. I've heard that Dunlop Straploks don't fit through the endpin hole on a Guildsby, so they won't sit flush against the butt end of the...

    '68 SFV - What does this look like to you guys?

    I'm THIS close to buying this guitar. They say that line running through the upper bout is only on the exterior finish and not through the wood. The crack seems to run along the grain. Would this be a dealbreaker for $2000? Has one tiny crack on binding, a crack in the pickguard screwhole...

    '69 Guild SF-V - Is this a good deal?

    Hey guys, so my 4 year quest for a Guild SF-V with mini hbs almost came to a joyous end today, when I came across someone with a '69 cherry red Starfire in the shop! The asking price is $1700. I almost jumped on it, but I wanted to run it by the experts first. First and foremost, when did...

    Starfire V sans Bigsby value

    Hey guys, What is a realistic and reasonable price For a 1967 Guild Sf-V in cherry that's had the bigsby replaced With the harp tailpiece? I'm not selling, but trying to buy and the guy won't budge from 1600+. It's in generally great condition, except the pup selector switch is very sticky...

    X-170 pricing question

    Is $1375 too much for an orange X-170 with the Guildsby and the coil tap on the lower bout? I don't know how often these come up. I've given up on my search for an SF-V, as my dollars have dropped significantly. How do these compare to the SF-IV in sound and value?

    Weird Starfire IV and weird Starfire III Bigsby

    I came across a '72 SF IV in Cherry yesterday. It had its harp tailpiece replaced with a stop tailpiece, and it had a master volume on it as well. The tuners in the headstock say Guild on them, but the guitar won't hold a tune as well as I'd like. Would those be Grovers? Intonation is...

    dimarzio supers on a starfire

    Ive never heard one, but i know those pickups are popular with shredders. Are the SF-4d guitars solely a shredding axe? How does it compare to the usual starfire 4s and up?

    Hey everyone, im new. Ive been to no avail trying to get hold of a starfire v for years, but it's quite discouraging waiting so long. I need the master volume for my pedal steel style of playing. Ive seen more VI's around, but am turned off by the gold hardware and high price. Im considering...
