Your cart is empty.The Starcaster broke the mold of semi-hollow guitar design with its offset body shape when it was introduced in the ‘70s, offering versatile sounds and out-of-this-world styling for the most adventurous players. The Classic Vibe Starcaster is a throwback to the original Fender model, creating massive tone courtesy of its dual Fender-Designed Wide Range humbucking pickups. Player-friendly features include a slim, comfortable “C”-shaped neck profile with an easy-playing 9.5”-radius fingerboard and narrow-tall frets, as well as a stop tailpiece for solid tuning stability. This Squier model also sports a unique painted headstock contour, 1970s-inspired headstock markings, rich-looking nickel-plated hardware and a slick vintage-tint gloss neck finish for an old-school vibe.

This guitar for the price is absolutely insane! The playability out of the box competes with guitars that are 1k plus! Great quality guitar and extremely comfortable to play! It sounds amazing

Guitar itself is exactly as I’d hoped, I watched plenty of YouTube reviews before buying. Color / appearance of guitar is beautiful. Shipper was great, everything received on time.

Update 5.14.22.I returned the first guitar, and had it replaced. The replacement was as nicely finished and set up - good intonation, no fret sprout, no buzzing frets - as the original, but with fully functioning electronics. No dead spots or volume drops in either pickup. Fit and finish were ok, after dressing some of the inner surfaces of the f slots with some 000 Emory cloth to remove plastic burrs on the binding.The pickups are good, good enough that I'm going to re pot and cap the thing and see how it shines.For the price? It's amazing. Just be aware that purchasing from another vendor that actually tests instruments prior to shipping may save some time and frustration.4/5 stars, just for QC issues. If you get a ringer (as I think I have with the second one), it's an amazing instrument. And for ~$450? Inconceivable.Original review:At the price point? I'm amazed. I'm a long term WRH fan from way back, and love my vintage 72 Tele Thinline (not reissue). This guitar gets close to that clear and transparent tone that is missing from a lot of paf style humbuckers.It's a beautiful looking and playing piece of dead wood. Electronics don't work at all. I requested a replacement, and will update this review after it has arrived. I really wanted to like this guitar, based on reviews of others and the heritage of this product.My local guitar shop said that they could probably fix it for another $250. That's more than half of the price of the new instrument. And it's just not worth it.

What a beautiful instrument! I got the three-color sunburst. It arrived surprisingly well packed with a minimum of non-recyclable foam stuff and cardboard spacers to keep everything from shifting around. I tuned it up and it plays beautifully, Frets are great. No buzzers. Finish is smooth and glossy. Even the intonation was surprisingly close to perfect.I love it already!

My 13 year old grandson said he would like to play guitar awhile ago so i bought this for him. He then decided that he no longer wished to play guitar. This is the only reason that i sent it back. I have 2 strat guitars myself so i did not need this one.. Thank you, my favorite guitar

I wanted a good guitar but couldn’t afford the really high end instruments. This guitar was a perfect solution. I love the look, the sound is good and the price was reasonable. I love the feel of it. The sound is really rich. This is a classic hollow body. The Starcaster is a great guitar.

Pleasantly surprised by this guitar! Love the feel, tone, and look. Very affordable and sounds great. Never been much on Fender/Squier guitars but the twin humbuckers and the neck on this one had me buying one almost immediately. Very versatile soundwise. A lot lighter than my other guitars, sustain is great, and only feeds back when I want it to. If I didn't already buy one I would definitely have one on my list. $400? A value at twice the price

2020年7月に購入このスターキャスターの特徴としてはヘッドが大きい生音が大きい指板がなめらかネックが結構薄い というところです。 また、セミアコ用の大きめのソフトケースがついてきます。squierと書いてあります。さて、スターキャスター自体は弾きやすく気に入りましたが、出品者のイシバシ楽器のチェックがとにかくひどく、弦のビビリがひどく、フレットが汚れていたりしていました。他の出品者はわかりませんがネットショッピングではそういうことがあるので注意が必要です。
