Hello all new member here, I have been wondering how old some of the starfire basses are that are still being played and enjoyed and not sitting behind glass or in some Hard Rock cafe e.t.c.? I have the luck/honor of playing a 1965 Starfire 1 serial # Ba-116 does any one have a '65 to compare mine to? I have not seen tuners like mine has, and mine is missing the finger rests(if any body has any i'll pay top dollar for...) These are really special instruments to play. The bi-sonic on this bass is one of the best sounding pickups i've ever played. Do tell your stories if you have any about your early Guilds........Smokinbear
