I'm the original owner of a mid '60's Starfire III. Over the years I've used it for Jazz, Rock, Fusion and all manner of music formats. Needless to say, I've modified it a lot over the years. Currently it's in 70% original condition with the following mods: Alembic hot-rod kit in the neck pick-up, Seymor Duncan high output humbucker in the bridge position, new wiring and pots done about 2000, replacement volume and tone knobs and Schaller tuners that I installed in the mid '70's. It has the usual finish wear but no major structural problems. My question to you and myself is should I leave it "as-is" or modify it to a single pickup with volume control thin-bodied "jazz-box" with trapeze tailpiece and ebony bridge? Thx in advance, TJ.
