How many guitars does a guitar player really need? Just one more than he has now so I bought a 66 Guild Starfire and a 1982 Fender Princeton amp from a friend . This guitar was stuffed into a basement apartment corner for 20 years by a bass payer friend who bought it in 1982 and never played it. She wanted to sell a it in a package deal with a1982 Fender Princeton bought at the same time and also never played. I offered $750 for the pair and she accepted. The guitar is missing some of the mother of pearl -- the big center piece on the headstock and the “D” in Guild. The finish is all checked and cracked and there are some random deep scratches. A previous owner had drilled some extra holes to replace the pick guard with a different pick guard. The back looks like it was played by some one who glued extra course sand paper to his belt buckle. There was so much dirt and grime that I didn’t know is was blond until I took a damp cloth to the finish. But the neck, after a quick set up, is fine the frets are good, and the mini humbuckers sound great. Mostly, I’m a Tele player and this is my first experience with the mini buckers. I must say I’m impressed. They have more bite than the full sized buckers and a richer tone than the single coils. The amp aside from dirt, is perfect except the grill cloth which was attacked by the bass players cat and needs replacing. It’s the basic 1982 12 watt Princeton Reverb with the pull out boost. The amp is a bit liter than my Blues Deluxe and seems to have more than enough volume for the places we play. Tubes and speaker are all original. I’ll have to get some correct grill cloth. I used both at a gig last Tuesday.
