Hello !
Actually I want help dating my Guild Starfire IV
I have tried to date it but the number is too high or too low to be found in the tables I have looked in.
It's too high for 1964 but too low for 1965 !?!?!
My SF4 i a lovely cherry-red I have owned since 1977 and it's number is 41124.
The neck is attached to the body at the 16:th fret of the 22,
On the label inside it says Starfire IVch , 41124 and that it's from Hoboken
The guitar has a melita-bridge and a harp-shaped tailpiece and it has the small humbuckers with one adjust-screw at each side.
Hope somebody sort this out. I have had this guitar since -77 and used it and it has became a friend by the time.
After a year or so the neck-mic "died" but I soldered a wire between the spools and it became a sort of "singlecoil"
that sounded OK. Now and then I have tried to find a similar mic but there never appeared a mic that was thew same but three weeks ago a found an exactly identical neck-mic after almost 30 years and now my Guild has got it's original-voice back.
