I got this Guild Starfire V today. Not sure what year it was made . Paper lable inside says "Guild Starfire V Green EN 455" made in Hoboken.New Jersey.

For realsies WTR, can you pm me if/when you decide to sell this one? It looks like it'd be straight up my alley. Don't know nor will I ask what you paid for it. Just....let me know when that inevitable time comes, K? In the off chance I may be able to afford it by then.

That's nice. It's kind of a horrid colour, but it still ends up looking nice.

I absolutely love this. Probably my favourite of all of the guitars you've bought and posted about over the years.

That's a mighty fine guitar, one of my all time favorites... and I've wanted a green guitar for some time so an all round topper of a guitar.

more of a trashy garage band kinda sound than you would get with a 335.I think Bob Weir played one in the Warlocks.Middle position is wound out of phase(mine has mini switches added for in and out of phase).

my old guitar teacher had one of those in sunburst that was almost completely worn off on the back of the body and neck. He played a lot of shreddy prog type stuff on it, and sounded totally badass. Doing divebombs and other wankery with a old bigsby equipped hollowbody seems so much cooler than playing the same stuff on the typical superstrat.
Are those semi or fully hollow?

Lovely guitar. A single cutaway Starfire has been on my dream guitar list for a while.

Thanks! This is a really nice guitar. It is a semi-hollow and it has a lot more sustain than other similar guitars I've owned. almost like a solidbody. The pickups have a rougher, sound than Gibson humbuckers and it loves fuzz an distortion pedals.

I know you're not usually fond of saying, but do you mind revealing how much this set you back? Or a ballpark range at least.
