Guild Starfire restoration

Sign in to disble this ad
Here's my latest project finished. A 60's Starfire with Alembic inspired bridge. I refinished the bass, leveled the fretboard and fretted the bass, made a new headstock veneer and MOP inlay and mounted my own custom made brass bridge. Pup is a Dark Star of course, tuners are Schaller M4.
The pics from the progress are at
