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 Deluxe features several player-friendly refinements such as a lightweight semi-hollow body, a slim and comfortable “C”-shaped neck with familiar Stratocaster® headstock, an adjustable bridge with stop tailpiece for solid tuning stability and sealed die-cast tuning machines with split shafts for smooth, accurate tuning and easy restringing. Loaded with a pair of Squier humbucking pickups with 3-way switching for genre-defying sonic variety, this model is ready to accompany any player at any stage.
