Initially, the Starfire IV was the lower-end counterpart to the Starfire V. When the Starfire V was discontinued in 1973, however, the Starfire IV took on some of its higher-end features including block inlays and a master volume knob.  While these semi-hollowbodies are considered fine instruments and were adopted by some players at the time, they are of far less interest to collectors than their Gibson equivalents such as the ES-335. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eYears of Production: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1963 - 1987, 1993 - 2005\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Style: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDouble cutaway semi-hollowbody\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWood Composition: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Laminated Maple or Mahogany body, three-piece Maple\/Mahogany neck, Rosewood fingerboard \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDesign Elements: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTwo humbucker pickups, chrome-plated hardware, Adjustomatic bridge, four control knobs and master volume knob\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNotable Starfire Players: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBuddy Guy, Lightening Hopkins, Jerry Garcia\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Guild","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47598928593086,"sku":null,"price":3950.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0509\/5037\/3566\/files\/guildstarfire1979_10.jpg?v=1780397672","url":"https:\/\/guitarcolonel.com\/products\/guild-starfire-iv-year-1979","provider":"The Guitar Colonel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
