Beautiful collection. SF-4 in black is sexy. P90s in the '73 S100 are intriguing.

Thanks! I already have one HB-1 to replace that bridge P90 but I'm not gonna get it installed before I have one for the neck too. Those Phat Cats sound great and have that nice bite but the Guildist inside me wants to see and hear the Carved in its original form.

You take some of the best guitar photos I've seen. Congrats on the new axe! And good choice with the color. For some reason, Black is boring on Fenders and Gibsons, but Guilds look amazing in black. So very cool!

What a beautiful line-up...
If the Starfire wasn't a vintage one, I would humbly suggest you put the HB-1 in the middle position, give you a guitar like off of Steve Miller's "Sailor" album cover, LOL!
It would suit your style!

Love it! Would have posted an image of Boz Scagg's guitar from that time but I cannot find a high enough resolution one...I remember thinking how cool that guitar looked when I was in the 8th grade, LOL Much more manly than a Vox Bobcat (which I would gladly take now, though)...

It's a 60's Guild Starfire V with that added huge pickup (Gibson EB mudbucker?) in between the Guild mini humbuckers, as well as two added control knobs and a switch on the bass side.
Here is a larger scan of that 1968 "Sailor" album cover: http://www.downtownbooksonline.com/images/Bob2013/0314/0037.JPG

Holy crap look at that S300! Wow!

I guess a real Guild Starfire Custom with 3 pickups would fit Muovinen.

WHOA! Is this yours, Ralf?

That 3-p90 Starfire is beyond hot.

No, that's one of the former Nashville Custom Shop models that seems to be still as NOS in a store in Germany (Beyer's Music). We had a thread about those 3 pickup Starfire models somewhere here maybe a year ago or so.

WOW! Two thoughts...
#1 I thought you had Photoshopped that Starfire, Ralf! Did not know it was real. Quick, where is Default, he NEEDS that puppy!
#2 I never Knew Scagg's guitar was a Guild! In my memory all these years I just thought it was a ES-335. Never saw a good enough image to
see. Agree about the p'up, was wondering it if was off an EBO, or maybe a (late 60's) Telecaster Bass.
Pekka, are you paying attention here?

Do you happen to have a link? I'm in Germany and would love to check this guitar out (and report back to the forum).

Let me see what I find. Here are the two old links which I think might be so old that he guitars maybe be no longer there:
http://81.169.170.65/gitcc/PRODUKTE/egitarren/GUILD/model starfire custom.htm
http://81.169.170.65/gitcc/PRODUKTE/egitarren/GUILD/GUILD.htm
Another one was this one we had discussed here:
Our member matsickma has one as well, his collection of pictures of other such 3 pickup Starfires is here.
