Guild Starfire 11 reissue SOLD £750 Worthing, Chichester, West Sussex

[Chimike]

Bought this, brand new, when they first came out, few years ago, now. Beautifully crafted Reissue, great pickups, modern recreation of the originals. I now have a 60's Rivoli fitted with a Darkstar, that has taken over for my acoustic gigs , so this one is now up for sale . Included is the super case that was supplied at time of sale,  Hard to tell it's not brand new. Collection from Worthing, or Chichester

That’s so wonderful. I would love one for personal use but the sound wouldn’t work in the band - ultimately it wouldn’t get played.

but good Lord that’s pretty.

So this is a Newark Street model?

[Chimike]

It is, indeed.

Money burning hole in my pocket. The Mrs will gladly tear me a new one if I buy it 😂😂 There's no justice. Absolute travesty.  GLWTS

Beautiful!  As bassist in a Grateful Dead tribute this would be very tempting - but not with a 30" scale, unfortunately (though very fortunate for my bank balance!).

I'm in Brighton this Weekend , I can always pop it in the car !

I haven't played anything under 34" since about 1974. I don't think I could cope with a shorter scale now. Shame, as it has a real Phil Lesh vibe about it (though it might have ended up getting the full Alembic treatment and emerging like this!).

Sheesh !

that's amazing .

I did see an early Gibson EB2 in a second hand music shop in Chichester, that has had a 34" scale neck professionally fitted, unusual.

Best Wishes,

Wow, that's lovely.

I saw Ian Allison online using one of these (his was a proper vintage one) to record with on his Insta and it just sang. Never had the inclination towards a hollow body bass before, but now I do! Alas, the timing is not on my side. GLWTS though, and have a bump on me.
