Sold 1998 Starfire III

[freddyfingers]

Hi all. As some of you know i recently acquired this. It rocks, but i seem to keep forgetting that a nerve issue in my inner right arm prevents me from playing wide topped guitars. Same happened with my A350 and 150, beautiful well playing guitars, just too big. I had hoped that the thinner body of a star fire would help, but if i play it for more than a few minutes my arm starts to go numb from the elbow area to my fingers. I am not in a position to sell it for what i got it for, but will pass along a price of 1300 plus shipping to folks here. Its on reverb for a tad more.

In a nut shell, its in pretty good shape, but no pick guard. To the best of my knowledge the rest is Stock. Neck is straight, currently has 10’s, but can go heavier if you prefer. There are a few marks that i tried to capture in photos. Where the bridge base sits on the treble side, there is ware, looks like the bridge base was slid at one point or another in its life. It doesnt scream out at you, but it is noticeable. Could probably be buffed out, but thats beyond my pay grade. Frets show ware, but have life left . There is a chip in the headstock paint and marks near the jack, a few nicks here and there, but i belive the guitar to be in good shape, and very playable. Ask any questions about what you see and i will gladly send additional photos. It looks brighter red in the pics i took, but in person its a deeper transparent red. The case is original, has it scuffs and such, but fits the guitar snuggly. It plays easily, for those that dont have an ulner nerve issue on the inside of their right arm.

Im in central Virginia, and would meet here for those that may be interested and close. If not it ships in its box with lots of bubble wrap. I will send you my address if you want to figure out the best method for you, and send me a label. Can do paypal if we work out the fees, and i beleive we also have other transfer methods linked to the bank. You are also welcome to go through reverb, but they eat a lot of the fees, so the price wont be the same, but if going through them is more comfortable, let me know. I have a high feedback response on reverb.

Thanks

fred

That carpet looks awesome.

Thanks. That was a impulse buy during lockdown. The add that showed it made it seem like you were floating on top of the infinity rug, but in reality, its just a cool swirl. My wife did not find it amusing or practical. I would include it with a sale.

 

[freddyfingers]

On second thought, the rug stays here. It would cost quite a bit to ship only to have someone open it and say why.

You could possibly wrap the case in the carpet for extra padding? Just saying.

That makes sense. It would actually give me an appropriate use for it.

I will make a search for a replacement pick guard , then put it into storage for a bit. (Safe storage) this is probably not the best time of year to look for a sale as most folks are caught up in December activities.

 

[freddyfingers]

Pickguard on the way. Not sure if i I will put a logo on it as its a replacement , but not from guild. In the mean time i will take this down and safely store it. You can always reach out to me through here, but i will wait a while then try the listing again.

Happy Holidays!
