1961 Guild Starfire III *Lower Price*
This is an outstanding vintage hollowbody with mojo for days. It's likely had a refinish as I'm not aware of any with this finish option. I believe it's mostly original, including the DeArmond Dynasonic pickups which sound oh so good. I'm also not sure if the Bigsby is aftermarket as most that I've seen from this period have the Guild-branded Bigsby. But if it is a replacement it's in perfect working order and looks just as old as the rest of the guitar. All the volume and tone knobs are in excellent condition with no crackling.
All the binding is in excellent shape with no chipping or cracking. All in all it's in excellent shape for a 63 year old guitar. Asking $2800 shipped and insured. OBO Below is a video I recorded with it a while back to give you a feel for tone. Let me know if you have any questions. Always happy to talk guitars. Thanks! https://youtu.be/5xYLxuZ4UWw?si=l-iHgySH9POBoLD5 Photo Gallery https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...usp=drive_link Body: Hollow; laminated 1-piece mahogany top and back, and laminated mahogany sides; single bound top and unbound back Finish: Natural Mahogany Neck: 1-piece mahogany, set-in; black plastic headstock overlay with pearloid logo and Chesterfield inlay Fingerboard: Brazilian rosewood, single bound; pearloid dot markers Number of Frets: 20 Pickguard: None Bridge: Bigsby aluminum on aluminum base with Bigsby B-2 tailpiece Nut: Bone Tuners: Grover Sta-Tite, nickel Pickups: Two, DeArmond single coil with adjustable pole pieces Controls: Tone and volume controls for each pickup, 3-way pickup selector Scale Length: 24 3/4 inches Neck Width at Nut: 1 11/32 inches Body Width at Lower Bout: 16 1/4 inches Body Depth: 1 7/8 inches Weight: 6.2 lb

Not in the market (in part because my more recent import Guild line Starfire I P90 is a favorite of mine) -- However I just wanted to say that I enjoyed your video playing that Guild.

I stopped into the local shop during my lunch break and should have grabbed it then. When I went back after work. It was already gone. My bad. :-{
