Title: What's this??
Post by: kellar on May 22, 2008, 06:48:39 PM

Someone help me out here. I have never heard of this model before and for whatever reason thought that the Starcaster was a semi-hollow model by Fender produced in the 80's. Since my Fender GAS has been revived by the recent "pimp my Squire" thread, I was wondering if this was worth it or not. I mean, for that price!! Some reason I doubt it though.

Have you left out a link or a picture?  I'm not seeing anything.

It's obviously a very cheaply made guitar (look at the nasty sharp edges on the headstock and badly mismatched maple in the neck and fingerboard).  

But that has to be a good price, if you live in the States.  I wouldn't pay shipping and import duty to get it to the UK though.
