NGD! 1968 Starfire V Black

[hansmoust]

I would love to find a black Starfire VI to complete the black semi hollow Starfire set! I have seen a few Ebony Starfire VI but I don’t recall ever seeing a black one. It makes sense to use the Ebony finish as you can see the figure through the finish on the VI. Has anybody seen a 60’s black Starfire VI?

Yes, there were quite a few Starfire VI models with an Ebony finish produced, but not that many 'Black' ones. So far I have seen two of which one I used to own. It was an instrument from 1966 with the neck joint at the 16th fret, which I prefer. However it was originally set up with a Bigsby B-9 vibrato unit, which I did not prefer, so I sold it when I found a Starfire V Black from 1965 that I still have.

Sincerely,

Beautiful! Congratulations! Sucks about the poor packing job, but glad it turned out OK!

It would be totally cool, but... think of the fingerprints. The scourge of black guitars.

They wipe off easy enough! I love black guitars!

Me too, and I think fingerprints are part of the vibe
