I didn't think this day would come but I have decided to part with my Guild Starfire I have had a bad couple of months culminating in badly broken ankle so needs must.

 

I am starting to get a bit more mobile now it's been a month since my surgery I would still prefer collection but I'm willing to consider shipping at cost and with the risks fully insured if required. I will still be unable to drive for a while yet so I cannot deliver currently.

 

This is a USA Westerly made Guild from the late 90s not a Newark reissue. These guilds were limited in numbers and I have only seen a handful available for sale.

The guild website link states they have gaps in serial number date but Starfire 4 (do not list a Starfire II) in 1996 end at AG000219 and Starfire II start in 1997 at AG300001 so my guess would be late 1996 but I cannot prove this. 

 

The bass is in amazing condition just some slight pitting/tarnishing on hardware no dents or big marks just some light scratches and tiny marks (I would say near mint for a 30yesr old bass) most I have seen for sale have damage at the jack socket but not on my bass.

 

It's a semi hollow flame maple body,sides and back with a mahogany/maple/mahogany neck short 30 3/4" scale. Grover tuners, metal saddle bridge and Guild pickups. I will say it's not a light bass but on a wide leather strap is perfectly manageable. Comes with its case one key,hang tag and book.

 

My kettle still works if you want to come try the bass.

 

I'm assuming I have priced this to high so will bring it down to £1900 is the lowest I will go as I would rather keep it it's a really great bass. I would be open to a cheaper short scale bass or medium scale (might consider a Pbass but that would have to be a slim neck) as a part exchange and I would also consider a rick 4001/4003.

please get In touch for more details or anything really. IMG_20230716_133838.thumb.jpg.3635414e0a1d8053a02c4a86dce83be8.jpgIMG_20230716_134054.thumb.jpg.fb9350b5033468a8a9f6bda92885f66d.jpgIMG_20230716_134022.thumb.jpg.dfe6d3b9f2963c74e4d90696d315c9e7.jpgIMG_20230716_133848.thumb.jpg.3a3f3733e7a06d7698b3cd653e35f636.jpgIMG_20230716_132611_HDR.thumb.jpg.774ee97ec4dccecda3feff67433ce03c.jpgIMG_20230716_132731_HDR.thumb.jpg.98d41f48c6b8425cdd72ded3e1e93824.jpgIMG_20230716_132611_HDR.thumb.jpg.774ee97ec4dccecda3feff67433ce03c.jpgIMG_20230716_132741.thumb.jpg.8b9dd4db2caa0c94e64cd6b3a616cc4f.jpgIMG_20230716_133857.thumb.jpg.cc0d704e0e71b88235ae364c44a4706d.jpgIMG_20230716_133922.thumb.jpg.aea7841be4fcd2a2c8945540d9ba3739.jpgIMG_20230716_133918.thumb.jpg.396c8759815046140b4c076da1b34207.jpgIMG_20230716_134054.thumb.jpg.fb9350b5033468a8a9f6bda92885f66d.jpgIMG_20230716_134016.thumb.jpg.2468eacee1072f62f561338cc881b3e8.jpgIMG_20230716_134152.thumb.jpg.5c617944377685acfd0891ecedc1de23.jpgIMG_20230716_134105.thumb.jpg.b0f8756f194b0be834548da52fa94ed8.jpgIMG_20230716_134110.thumb.jpg.2302d0afd13ad3d873d50427e129c146.jpg
