Hey guys,
Haven't posted here for a really long while! I just traded an 1980 D-40NT for a Starfire IV of the same era. The guitar was retro-fotted with Sheptones pickups but I do have the originals too. Serial is a bit bizarre: every listing says the SN should read GA and then 6 digits, but mine reads AG0000xx, which I guess makes it early 80's or late 70's. It has dots on the fingerboard and a tailpiece bridge. Maple blonde color with gold plated hardware. The pickguard has no logo or writing on it.
The pickguard was removed by the previous owner and I'm not sure how to put it back. I would love to see a pickguard assembly so I can figure out what I need in terms of screws ad what not. I have a short screw, a long one and a square piece of felt. Now what? Ha ha ha!
The bridge is heavily pitted and rusted and needs replacing. Any suggestions?
I will take pictures and post them tomorrow. Looking forward to comments and suggestions.
