Just when I thought I was in remission from GAS...
I wanna Starcaster! Don't care what it sounds like or plays like, it's just so cool to look at!
-
a shame there are no actual sounds of the guitar, looks good though
-
Very nice- I love the basses.
-
Interestingly, Warmoth have also recently announced that they will be making Starcaster-like bodies. While I like the overall idea of this guitar, I think the Fender headstocks look pretty horrible and would rather go with something like the Warmoth 3+3.
-
I think the headstock on the Starcaster rather suits the body shape - it's got a nice and quirky aesthetic. Right up my street. If only I had money!

Blimey, I feel embarrassed not to have known that! Is it on their website?
They have been revamping their line recently, since it seems they've been forced to drop all the Gibson shapes.

I'm with you on this. I like everything about the Starcaster but I can't justify getting one I think. Or can I?

I think it looks brilliant, but I'm not so sure I'd enjoy the playing experience, it might have too many annoying quirks. it probably is a case where I won't give in to GAS and I'll be happy to just see them around the place occasionally.

Not on the website, but this thread was posted by a Warmoth employee on the "unofficial" forum.

Ooooh! I like that! :o
-
Yeah, that looks tasty! :)
-
Yes - I like that too. Shame I haven't got any money to spend on it though.
-
hmmm, not a fan. They look very 'random'.
-
and now a P90'd Mustang - Fender GAS exploding around here:

Yummy, Mustang-fever here. I hope the bridge doesn't mess up the tuningstability.

Here's a couples of Starcaster reviews:

That pretty much gives me GAS
-
I really tried to get away from them, though that maybe the initial GAS was just that, initial, but I just really, really like those Starcasters.
Just seems right somehow.
I dunno what the street price is, but I assume I have no chance in hell of affording it any time soon. Especially cause I got so much else I wanne get first...baritone semihollow, custom Feline LP, strat, etc...cr@p. xD
-
Guitar Village have a few in stock;

One of the new "Mooncaster" bodies appeared in the Warmoth showcase for the first time last night. Looked good, maple on mahogany, sunburst finish. It's sold already, despite being about $760 (if I remember right!)

If you wanted a 3+3 in this size and style, wouldn't you just buy an Epiphone 339?

They could, but I guess they might want a bolt-on neck, or a maple fingerboard, or a choice of neck shapes.... or something. :D
