General
The Starcaster is back! This seventies legend is a rare sight, but of undisputed quality and with a stunning sound. This guitar has gone down in history as Fender's only semi-hollow electric guitar with a distinctive body shape, the so-called offset waist. Rediscovered by a new generation of curious guitarists, the Starcaster re-emerges on the electric guitar front, this time as a Fender Modern Player series with an even better sound and phenomenally beautiful looks.
Fender Modern Player Starcaster Natural: Center Block
The thin semi-hollow body of the Fender Starcaster was made of laminated maple and features a alder Center Block, a solid wooden beam that was fitted in the centre and along the entire length of the body, splitting the body into two large chambers as it were and providing the guitar with more tone and sustain while reducing the chance of feedback. The front and back of the body of the Starcaster feature beautiful bindings that are also found around the characteristic F holes on the top. The C-shaped neck and 22-fret fretboard with black position markers are also made of maple. This semi-acoustic guitar's headstock features a quintessential Starcaster Black Accent Stripe, as well as a Fender logo.
Humbuckers
The Fender Starcaster Natural is equipped with two Fender Wide Range humbucker pickups and a three-position pickup switch. The four controls provide each pickup with a volume and tone control and have amplifier-style knobs. Additionally, the Fender Starcaster features a Pinned Adjusto-Matic bridge with anchored tailpiece and a durable 3-layer black pickguard to protect its body.
This guitar is excellently suited for country, jazz, blues and rock & roll.
