This past week I swapped my '73 Starfire 4 in cherry for this '69 Starfire IV in 'burst.
Most LTGers already know there is a HUGE difference between them. I have fallen in love with the small humbuckers. Yes, this guitar was previously owned by one-time LTG member "mojotooth".
Here's some pictures:
Your basic full-on Starfire pron shot...
Close up of the top...
The one-piece mahogany neck and Kolb machines - correct but somewhat unusual...
The all-too-common shrinking headstock...
And a look at her from behind...
And the leftover Hoboken label. Guitar was likely made in Westerly.
The one thing that I noticed immediately on plugging in was that I could quickly find good sounds from my amps. I never could with the '73. Just me, I suppose.
