Description: Vintage 1975/76 Fender Starcaster Sunburst w/ OHSC Vintage 1975/76 Fender Starcaster Sunburst w/ OHSC Often considered one of the more esoteric novelties in the history of Fender guitars, the Starcaster—with its uniquely offset semi-hollow body and curvaceous, divisive headstock—arrived in 1976 as the company’s first new electric model in three years. It proved unpopular at the time and was discontinued by the fall of 1980, but over the years its unique shape, full-throated tone and rarity in the vintage market helped boost its popularity. In 2013, due to rising demand, Fender reintroduced the Starcaster and put into production the Starcaster bass—the only offset semi-hollow bass guitar in Fender history. The original Starcaster models featured an arched, laminated maple top with dual f holes and a maple back and sides. It housed two Fender Wide Range humbucker pickups with chrome covers with a three-way toggle switch and five silver-skirted black control knobs: neck pickup volume, neck pickup tone, bridge pickup volume, bridge pickup tone, and master volume. This particular example is in excellent condition considering it's age. This guitar is very clean compared to most of the Starcasters you will find. The original owner marked the edge of the fretboard on the bass side with etched numbers into the finish. This was done a long time age and it could probably be corrected but it doesn't effect anything so we figured we would leave it alone. Overall this is a stellar example of the original Fender Starcaster. This piece of history comes with the Fender Original Hardshell Case.
