Fender keeps coming up with these reissue guitars from the 60's and 70's and I am such a sucker for them. As the Fender website says:
The Starcaster® guitar is back. Virtually fabled since its original
mid-to-late ’70s tenure, the seldom-seen Starcaster occupies a special
place in our history as Fender’s one and only offset-waist semi-hollow
electric guitar. Prized decades later by a new generation of adventurous
guitarists with a flair for appealingly unconventional Fender style,
the Starcaster now returns in fabulous new Modern Player form with
greater sound, build and beauty that’ll have you seeing stars.
The
Fender Starcaster guitar’s thin semi-hollow offset body has a bound
maple top and back, with stylish bound f holes. Its “C”-shaped maple
neck has a 9.5”-radius maple fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets,
black-dot inlays and the distinctively curvaceous Starcaster headstock.
Other premium features include full-voiced dual Fender Wide Range
humbucking pickups with three-way toggle switching, three-ply black
pickguard, four skirted “amp”-style control knobs (volume and tone for
each pickup) and an Adjusto-Matic™ bridge with anchored tailpiece. In Aged Cherry Burst gloss
finishes.
Pictures? I thought you'd never ask:
