What'd I miss?
It's gorgeous, even if the faceplate work does remind me of some patterns they used to use on Superballs.
Sincerely, no snark intended, it's genuinely evocative of the psychedelic era.
This is Jack Casady's first starfire, modified by Alembic, mostly Bear. Shortly after Woodstock, it was stolen in Seattle. It was missing for 47 years and it has finally been returned. For those of us who love the Alembic modified Starfires, this is the alpha bass. This and Phil's Big Brown are pretty much the quintessential versions of that idea. As your sig says, you never forget your first Guild and for many of us, this is it.
So, you have it just right. It is not just evocative of the psychedelic era, but definitive!
Since it has taken its journey, it has been refinished and some modification to Bear's carved bits.
Here it is back in the day, in Golden Gate Park, courtesy of Rosie McGee, a wonderful photographer who was also Phil Lesh's girlfriend back in the halcyon psychedelic days. Her book, Dancing With The Dead, is highly recommended.
