A very lovely friend gave me this fantastic Guild Starfire for my 60th birthday.
In the 80s he was looking for an appropriate guitar to play in a skiffle band and I persuaded him to buy it as it sounded so amazing!
It still does ....
He has always known I love this guitar so, being amazingly generous, he gave it to me for my 60th.
It is in a bit of a mess but that's fine as I will really enjoy doing it up.
It has a serial no of 24395 so I guess it's 1963?
I was confused about the pickups as they have lost their covers but I think they might be Franz?
At some point someone has replaced the original tuners with Yamaha ones.
I would be very grateful if any of you wise folk on this forum could give me any information about it?
I am a Guild newbie so don't know much.
Also, does anyone know anywhere I could get replacement pickup covers?
