Product Description
Product Description
The Starcaster broke the mold of semi-hollow guitar design with its offset body shape when it was introduced in the ‘70s, offering versatile sound and out-of-this-world styling for the most adventurous players. The Affinity Series Starcaster creates massive tone courtesy of its dual Squier humbucking pickups and is easy to play thanks to its slim, comfortable “C”-shaped neck profile. This Squier model also features a unique contoured headstock, an adjustable bridge with stop tailpiece for solid tuning stability, durable chrome-plated hardware and a smooth satin neck finish for a natural feel.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
These are all the issues I found:
- Frets are lifting from the fretboard! At least 5 are lifting, with 2 creating significant fretbuzz. I discovered this while setting the action low, can't be done, can't be played! Worse thing is they tried to mask by filling the frets, some are super flat already.
-The F holes finish is awful, there are chunks of the white paint. I wasn't expecting a nice finish but this is just a bad job. This could be fixed and I don't think any guitar below $500 will have a properly finished F holes, but this is too much.
-Neck pocket finish isn't properly finished.
Also note that the black binding isn't a real binding, it is just paint. Looks nice tho!
This is my first time buying a guitar online, this one is out of stock at my local shops. Overall nice guitar, I will return this one and order another one to see if I have better luck.

The sound quality has a hollow timbre to it, just awesome. Coming from a background of $50 guitar, this is the third guitar bought, it's just fantastic.
I can rumble the bends and echo the push & pulls. I think I will play blues on this Fender and I am done for 2 years of swag.
The minute I got the hollow sound, I knew I had a new experience.
The guitar itself is a joy to play, very resonant, almost Bell like. The tones are very rich and vibrant. The neck is very slim, the frets are finished perfectly, no rough edges, no raised frets.
It looks good, it sounds amazing, I've yet to try it out with my band at gig type volume, but I'm hoping it'll be just as good and I'm also hoping this will become my main gigging guitar, it really is that good.
Don't be a snob about the squier brand name, this is as good, sound wise and quality wise, as anything the parent company would put out.
A lovely guitar that's easy to fall in love with
