I looked on the Fender website and couldn't find it. The TC90 Thinline is the closest resemblence and thats not it. Looks like it says 'Stratocaster' on the headstock but i know it ain't no strat.

Not made anymore. The Starcaster was a 70's reaction to Larry Carlton and his 335.

That is a Starcaster...they were made in the 70's and are pretty hard to come by..sad part is that even though IMO they are pretty cool, most of the suffer from Late CBS quality!

excuse my ignorance, but what does that mean?


CBS bought Fender in the late 60's and tried to ruin the whole company IMO, Don't get me wrong there are good CBS Fenders, but IMO some of the worst Fender guitars (Im talking purly about the quality of the guitar) ever were made during the CBS era. The only Starcaster I have even played had a neck pocket that was cut way too big...in fact it was so much to big that the neck would shift so much that the strings would "fall" off the fretboard!
