I do not care what year it is from 60's, 70's or 90's re-issue will do. Must be a mahogany body. Finish does not matter as I am going to strip it down. Just no wood cracks etc.... smokinbear Intermediate Member Username: smokinbear Post Number: 118 Registered: 11-2008 Posted on Saturday, July 16, 2011 - 1:02 pm:    Price range??? hieronymous Senior Member Username: hieronymous Post Number: 937 Registered: 1-2005 Posted on Sunday, July 17, 2011 - 10:20 pm:    I saw this one at Lightning Joe's Guitar Heaven Arroyo Grande, California (near San Luis Obispo, kind of between LA & San Francisco) - it's one of the reissues. mg1125 Intermediate Member Username: mg1125 Post Number: 131 Registered: 5-2010 Posted on Sunday, July 17, 2011 - 11:22 pm:    I'll have mine available for sale before next weekend once I get back from a trip.bass in in mint condition,all original.Let me know if you are interested>Thanks. lesh_lash Junior Username: lesh_lash Post Number: 15 Registered: 6-2009 Posted on Monday, July 18, 2011 - 7:51 pm:    Price will depend on what it is.. I will pay a fair market value for what year it is and what shape it is in. The one at Lightning Joes is nice and is a OK price but it is the maple body and I am looking for the mahogany body. Miguel let me know what you are selling and I will consider it. pasewark Intermediate Member Username: pasewark Post Number: 106 Registered: 4-2003 Posted on Monday, July 18, 2011 - 8:30 pm:    I bought a '96 Maple Guild Starfire Reissue with the Hammon Darkstars already installed for $1400 on EBay a couple of years ago. I play that bass through an SF-2 and I can dial in an awesome early 70s Phil tone when I need it. Those reissues are excellent builds IMHO. mg1125 Intermediate Member Username: mg1125 Post Number: 133 Registered: 5-2010 Posted on Monday, July 18, 2011 - 10:41 pm:    Hi Lesh.I think have what you want and looking for!let me know if you'll be interested once I get pictures on the way before the weekend.Thanks. lesh_lash Junior Username: lesh_lash Post Number: 16 Registered: 6-2009 Posted on Tuesday, July 19, 2011 - 8:11 am:    I have been watching them sell on e-bay for the last 2 years as follows: Guild Re-issues....$1,500 Guild Re-issues with dark stars....$2,000 Dearmonds....$600-$700 60's guilds approx $2,000 pasewark Intermediate Member Username: pasewark Post Number: 107 Registered: 4-2003 Posted on Tuesday, July 19, 2011 - 8:32 am:    Good luck!

About 36 years ago I had both such projects . I still own one of them. (however not available for purchase). Pics of both can be found on this site. There are a few of us here that have some interesting ones with various modifications. Happy Starfiring ! lesh_lash Junior Username: lesh_lash Post Number: 17 Registered: 6-2009 Posted on Tuesday, July 19, 2011 - 11:06 am:    That is why I am trying to get a Starfire.... I have been talking to Susan and seriously considering Alembic working one over for me.
