I'm beginning to excercise some restraint.This is definitely testing the waters.

Looks really nice! There's a discrepancy in the listing though - he calls it a '66 in the title, but in the description it's a '68. I have a feeling he read the serial number wrong - the bridge changed from the style seen here to more diagonal somewhere around 1460 or 1470. (I'm not totally obsessed about this kind of thing, but know someone who is) I'd be willing to bet it's a '66.

The '68 mentioned is in "a review of a similar Guild Starfire a couple of years newer...." Not a discrepancy, but rather unclear writing. This one is a '66 (and yummy - except maybe for the 48-year-old strings).

Why does the description say the finish is black, when in the picture it's cherry red?

Again, from the point in the listing where the font changes, the seller is quoting a review of different instrument - presumably for the benifit of those not familiar with the Starfire.
