I didn't think this day would come but I have decided to part with my Guild Starfire due to a new project and a bass being available that I think would fit the bill (if that bass sells I will remove this from sale)

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 (they 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 all original to my knowledge in amazing condition just some slight pitting/tarnishing on hardware no dents or big marks just some light scratches and tiny marks it really is a stunning bass.

The flame maple has some really lovely figuring in the light.

Currently strung with old flats it has a really lovely thump but with some newer strings I found it quite versatile. (Great for that BRMC style riff or get your JMJ vibes going)

Bass weight is around 4.30/4.40kg on my scales which I think is down to the woods/center block but on a wide strap you don't notice it

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. Comes with its case one key,hang tag and book.

Any questions feel free to ask

Can discuss options for delivery/collection etc
