Has anybody seen another one of these or know much about them. It's a Starfire V XD SB serial # 63637 it's a Starfire V that is built like an arch top rather than a simi hollow.
Hello ckguitars,
Welcome! Your guitar was part of a small series of Deep Bodied double cutaway Starfire guitars that were first listed in the November '69 price list.
In that price list only 2 models were listed:
the Deep Starfire V available in Sunburst and Blonde
the Custom VII available in Sunburst, Blonde and Amber.
From what I've seen so far the XD designation was only used on the labels and was not used in Guild literature.
It turned out that these Deep Starfire models were not a commercial success and they were no longer listed in the 1972 price list.
Your guitar was completed during the year 1972. During this particular period Guild did not keep records re. the number of each model that they were making and consequently there are no totals available for the Deep Starfire models.
Sincerely,
Hans Moust
