You did the right thing because if it does not suit your playing style, do not buy it. It is not worth anything as far as collections go so no loss there. I wanted that same guitar and was ready to drive ALL the way up to newton but the boss (wife) said NO. LOL
Pre-Fender would be before 1995 though.
Even at that, it was so late in '95 that they may not even have had any effect on production standards until '96.
I'm looking for confirmation but from memory I'm about 95% positive the deal wasn't actually finalized until October or even November, from an article we saw posted here a couple years back.
Fender Buys Guitar Maker

Published: November 20, 1995
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Nov. 19— The Fender Musical Instruments Corporation, one of the most famous names in guitars, has acquired the Guild guitar unit of the U.S. Music Corporation. The two closely held companies did not disclose the terms of the transaction. Guild, based in Westerly, R.I., makes acoustic guitars. Fender, based here, is one of the largest makers of electric guitars and amplifiers.

With a 2000/2001 Starfire, it will have the Fender HB1s. The change from the Seymour Duncan SD-1s came, I believe, during 1998-9.

Maybe this is correct...i hope!Rooster, in Photobucket you need to choose the Direct Link option for each photo to copy the correct web address, then click on the Insert Image icon (directly left of the Film Strip icon) above the area here where you type in your posts, then paste the Photobucket web address you've copied into the Insert Image text box. Your photo should then show up.
