I bought this about 2 weeks ago to improve my Dearmond starfire since this one has a big crack in the neck.
So basically not to pussy foot about it's issues are.
Crack in the neck between fretboard and neck, neck is stable and is perfectly playable
Bridge is a bit tarnished on 2 of the saddles
2 dents in the body near the bridge
Screw holes near the pickups where the darkstars were removed and the original dearmond pickups were put back in
Bridge pickup is missing some of the gold foil on it, doesn't affect the sound at all it's just a cosmetic issue.
Now the good stuff
It has the master volume control ala Guild Starfire
It plays and sounds superb
It has schaller tuners
Here are the old pics from when I bought it, it has incurred no extra damage and has been setup recently when I had all the work done on my other starfire
Now bare in mind both me and the guy that use to own this have been quoted about £200 to fix the neck, now most starfires in good condition go for about £350-£400 and really if you have a bit of guitar building experience you can fix this for like £10 so you can grab a bargain, it's also a good starter bass for someone looking for a decent hollowbody, or just a great beater bass.
Basically I'm after offers, I know how much I could part it out for and since it still sounds and plays beautifully I'm not giving it away. But I don't want much for it so hit me up with offers and trades and such.
I will ship it, it won't come with a case but it will be well packed. I'd rather someone collected it so that they can see what they are getting before hand and get to really appreciate how great it still sounds and plays.
Cheers
