Is anyone familiar with the history of Starfield guitars ???

I'm talkin the early to late 70's models in particular. Ties to Hoshino? Was Starfield a Hoshino house brand? I have a Howard Roberts copy that's a spittin image of my other Fuji Gen models badged Ibanez and Electra. Thanks....jd

Hi...sure, here's a link to a pic:



Also view additional pics of the guitar there. Original with the exception of a Zoller I added, and missing the pickguard.....excellent condition.

According to this site:

"From the information and catalogue we can acquire nowadays, the Starfield should be held on the end of 80', and closed around 1994~1995. But there was also a period around mid 70'to early 80', Ibanez had a electric and acoustic guitar lines named in Starfield. You can recognize on the pictures that the logo on 70'and 90'Starfields are different."

They show a 1977 Howard Roberts model.
