What is starcaster electric guitar by fender?

The Starcaster electric guitar is a semi-hollow body guitar model manufactured by Fender, first introduced in 1976. It was developed to compete with Gibson's ES-335 and features a unique offset body shape. The guitar was designed to appeal to jazz and fusion players, but it also found popularity among rock players.

The Starcaster features a maple neck and fingerboard, with a semi-hollow body construction that consists of laminated maple top and back, and a center block made of maple. It has a pair of Fender Wide Range humbucker pickups that are known for their warm, full-bodied sound. The guitar has a three-way pickup selector switch, two volume and two tone knobs, and a unique string-through-body design that increases sustain.

The Starcaster was discontinued in 1980 but has since gained a cult following for its unique design and sound. In recent years, Fender has reintroduced the Starcaster as part of their modern player series, with updated electronics and hardware. The new version has been well-received by both old fans and new players.
