Thought I should share some pics of my new bass. Its a beauty. 1967 Guild Starfire II (maple sunburst). Its in relatively good condition. Some dings, scratches and finish cracking (which can really only be seen with the light at certain angles). Blemishes and all this baby is gorgeous.
The good
All original electronics
Two original BiSonic pickups with extra magnets from Rick Turner
The rosewood grain on the neck is beautiful. Neck is in good shape.
Even has the sticker of the store from where it was originally sold
The bad
A real nasty headstock break. It happened some two decades ago, and wasn't fixed professionally. But has remained stable since the previous owner purchased it the 1990's. So hopefully it will remain that way. Though it should be noted that without the bad break, this bass would be out of my budget, so all's well.
