So I just bought a Mint 1999 Natural Starfire IV from Tmoll making it my first Guild Electric and the sister to my D15. First I must say Tom is awesome and was so great to deal with. I randomly came across this forum sent him an email and now own one of the most beautiful guitars around. I've wanted a 335 for years and was just about to buy a 61 reissue SG before seeing this Guild. I have never played a Starfire, held a Starfire or even seen one closer than 30 feet at a concert and went on pure faith that Tom's guitar was as described.
Well after 10 minutes with this guitar I can't imagine I'll be playing any of my other electrics any time soon. Not only did I luck out and like the set up but the finish is perfect. It looks like it's been cased under a bed for 10 years and I bought it new. I've seen and played many 335's and can't see why anyone would pay what Gibson is asking. $2000 for a basic 335 is absurd. I still can't believe how undervalued these guitars are. I have sang it's praise to all of my friends and will continue for years to come. I have no interest in Gibsons after seeing and playing this guitar I will buy custom before I get an SG.
As for this forum I'm happy I stumbled upon it and am even happier to have two quality guitars that I will never let go. I don't have photos hosted anywhere so here's a pic from the original post.
