The lack of a body sticker prevents accurate dating, however the construction dates the guitar to the 1960s. The heavy modifications appear to have been done in the late 1970s.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCase Details: \u003c\/b\u003eChipboard Case\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Guild","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40649921659015,"sku":"U5347061203","price":671.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0343\/4368\/2183\/files\/guild-electric-guitars-semi-hollow-guild-starfire-iv-stripped-1960s-u5347061203-30730363633799.jpg?v=1703508948","url":"https:\/\/www.chicagomusicexchange.com\/en-gb\/products\/guild-starfire-iv-stripped-1960s-1832652","provider":"Chicago Music Exchange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
