Yes it probably was a Starfire...
Bert nearly always used Hofner electrics in the '50's but by about 1960/61 or so, Bert's first Guild was a single cutaway Starfire with the DeArmond pickups and Bigsby, usually with heavy flatwound strings, used to see him on TV using this one, later he had a double cutaway model like the later Starfire also with DeArmonds & Bigsby, which I think may have been a custom signature Bert Weedon Model-he usually used Selmer and Burns amps early on with a tape echo unit (not sure of brand- small grey case, four white knobs and a row of pushbuttons on the front..
In later years he used Yamaha SA models shaped like the Gibson 335, Fender Strat and Parker guitars, with amps made by his old mate Jim Marshall
That's about all I can remember at present, no doubt JimN will read and then correct the above...
