A different kind of Starfire

And a 12-string at that.

No feet?

Is it fugly or is beautiful? You decide.

I have to say a 12 string Les Paul is rather rare. Not sure they ever made such a thing,

Hey Gibson, it's not too late! Make a 12 string LP, Slash would go nuts.

There are a couple of manufacturers of "Starfire" guitars.

But that 12 string "Les Paul" comes from the same manufacturer as that 12 string bass! I believe they were based out of Las Vegas and only worked for a few years.

Oh My God! These things look like they would explode in your face without warning.

And a 12-string at that.

@SFIV1967 covered it. I do remember in Ye Olden Days an eBay search for Starfire turned up many of these, all new, and very few Guilds. First time I was motivated to learn how to refine my searches better because wading through three pages of those wasn't fun after the first time.

I have a Starfire Beatle Bass. Not bad. Rarely gets any use though.
