Thanks for your knowledge. Do you mean these?

Looks like it has decent hardware and electrics.
Squier do also make a cheaper Starcaster with a full hollow body, though besides the body everything else is average at best (neck might be alright, not sure).
Thanks a ton, I'm a newbie.
Would you mind educating me on how this compares with the active Jazzmaster?
https://www.fender.com/en-AU/electric-guitars/jazzmaster/con…@charmandad: I'm not too knowledgable on this tbh, but looks almost identical to the Starcaster but a Jazzmaster (hardware/electrics mostly the same), only different is a Strat style Trem bridge.
I personally hate the Jazzmasters, find them awkward to play (though I have a Jagstang and love it). I bought a US Jim Root JM a few months back and I'm getting rid of it, it's like I have to reach my whole arm around the guitar just to hold it (hard to explain really).
if that contemporary active Jazzmaster came in black and not pink or tequila sunrise I'd have snapped it up
I went and looked thinking they couldn't be that bad, but yeah, they are pretty meh looking in those colours :\
That price though, i'd sand them back and spray them!
Saturated market. They sold a lot over the pandemic. 2nd hand market is oversupplied. Grab one used on the cheap, and you wont feel bad when you ding it because it has a couple already.
I only bought like 6 guitars over the pandemic :(
U must be an expert level guitarist by now 👌
you'd think so huh? They look good hanging up on my wall!
40th anniv Strat geez my strat is probably classified as old now, bought around 2009 so 15 year anniv!
No MIJ models… 😞
On the homepage (https://www.fender.com/en-AU/start) it says the easter flash sale is "2 weeks only", doesn't give a definite date though
My 1989 Fender Eric Clapton Custom Stratocaster still beats whatever other guitars I have (Guild & Indonesian made Les Paul)…..the Starcaster looks like crap by comparison.
Ahh man.. could I learn to love the look of a telecaster?
Squier Starcaster is a good buy. Fender are releasing a Fender Tom Delonge Starcaster soon which looks like it'll be $1800-2000. Interestingly though Starcasters (Fender or Squier) are currently only made in the Indonesian factory, which is where this Squier and the TD Fender are from. Basically getting the same guitar (though with sealed holes), for over $1000 cheaper.
