This Guild Starfire was made in the USA in 1966. It has been professionally refinished black a long time ago. It looks original and fooled us initially. There is also a well repaired headstock crack. The serial number dates to 1966 - it is faint but legible. The tuners are changed but otherwise it is all original. It plays, sounds, and looks great. It has been pro-setup in our store and comes with a non original hardshell case.
