a lot of boutique builders copied the Starcaster body like Dennis Fano and Bilt Guitars. I believe Warmoth even has it as a body option.

@chidbro23 Месяц назад

warmoth also has it as a neck option lol

@wilhelmtheconquerer6214 24 дня назад

Warmoth call theirs "mooncaster" and I believe it's slightly downsized from the Fender version. It's also not traditional hollow body construction, but rather built like a thinline Telecaster (hollowed out solid body with a cap glued on). They also build their's with a control cover, rather than requiring you to fish the wiring harness trough the F-holes

@scotteepunk 16 дней назад

Warmoth does have a similar body to the Starcaster, but it's not laminated maple like the DeLonge Starcaster has.

What’s funny about the Tom DeLonge Starcaster being basically a rebadged Squier is that my friend pulled the trigger on the shell pink model as soon as they were released, and this is a guy who thinks Squiers and Epiphones are trash 😂

@luistijerina Месяц назад

The Squier Affinity and the Contemporary look pretty good tbh and are easy upgrades with a few caveats. You pretty much have to be okay with the neck and headstock because there aren’t a lot of options for replacement. You also have to fill or cover the neck pickup cavity somehow.

@scot-combs Месяц назад

DeLonge's Starcaster is a Fender. If you look at the back you'll see it's arched. The Squier version (which I own) is flat. Depending on the lighting in the picture, it can be hard to see. The gold pics on the Sweetwater pages shows it well. The factory is doing a good job.

@Boots_McScoots Месяц назад

I'm glad you brought up the EVH. From what I've ascertained, the SA-126 is made in Mexico, and since it's an FMIC-owned factory, does that nullify the "we can only make semi-hollows in Indonesia" argument? I'm not trying to be flippant or anything, just curious. Also, I think the Starcaster just works better as a stripped-down model. The offset body doesn't look as out of place, if that makes sense.

I’ve got the Starcaster along with Tom’s Strat that came out last and his Epiphone and the Starcaster is the easy standout. Quality, playability, sound, I love it. I also heard that Aaron Rubin and Tom went to Fender asking for a 10% bigger Strat since Tom is a tall dude and they didn’t want to do that, but once they said the “Star” part of Starcaster, Tom was in. Kinda sick.

@gringogreen4719 29 дней назад

Phil McKnight mentioned this in a podcast. Hollow bodies and semi hollow bodies are labor intensive guitars to make. Most of the solid bodies are CNC made both in the US and overseas. So a luthier who works on hollow bodies has a different skill set and skill level than someone who mainly makes solid bodies. The Starcasters is basically a melted hollow body because it's a Offset influenced guitar. That said for the price, I would rather have the Dave Ghrol Epiphone guitar.

@matthewsommerville88 Месяц назад

Semi hollow is not fenders bread and butter at all. So it makes sense to keep it where they know it can be done well. If they did these in Mexico it’d cost them more, cost us more, and we probably wouldn’t get really decent results for a half a decade while they got up to snuff on mastering the process. It makes sense in context.

@tomgregus569 26 дней назад

I really loved the Starcaster, and actually own the Squire classic vibe myself before the custom was announced. I've always wanted to have and play guitars that I felt like no one else was playing, but I was so stoked to see Tom Delong get his own custom one, feeling like it gave some legitimacy to the wonkiness of the guitar

I played one at a guitar center last week. It was good but there were a couple of things I did not enjoy. The body is not incredibly comfortable to me. It also has that thing that SGs have where you feel like you're playing in a much more forward position compared to other guitars. Also the string angle from the nut to the tuners is not great for tuning stability, and it does not have locking tuners.

I have 3, each with Gotoh tremolos, bigger brass blocks, and upgraded pickups for less than 500$ all in. They compete with my 1200$ Charvel easily and I don’t have to worry as much about them getting damaged/stolen.

@alechorner7481 27 дней назад

The guitar is made in Indonesia because Fender only has one machine to press the wood for the star caster body shape and guess where it’s located? Even Tom’s bodies are made there.

@Mogs716 Месяц назад

I got the TD Starcaster… (also both of his other models) and can say that it is indeed a great guitar. It’s well built. Neck feels great, pickup sounds great and to me, more comfortable to play than his Epi-333. Price was fine to me considering there’s only one place making their semi-hollows, has SD pickup, locking tuners, roasted maple neck and rosewood fingerboard… love the pink too. Totally worth it.

@drumsNstuff79 10 дней назад

If it were truly Squier quality, you'd know in a heartbeat. The binding job, fretwork, hardware quality, and fit and finish would be obvious. Watch any video from the Gibson factory. It takes a ton of handwwork to do a hollowbody guitar. Just hand wrapping the whole body for glue up after hand bending the binding and tons and tons of sanding to get the body edges to flow into each smoothly is soooo labor intensive! And that is after hand carving the top and backs, if tey don't do CNC routing which also requires lots of finish sanding and cleanup. Guys apprentice for years at Gibson doing this. They just recently brought back hollowbody production back to Nashville. A friend of mine has a high school buddy who is a luthier who builds incredible Gibson style solidbody electric guitars. He won't even try to do a hollow body for my Phish loving friend. It's just a whole specialized skill set this guy just doesn't have the tools or time for. Kudos to Fender for doing such a good job. Looks cool to me. I think dudes who comment can be unnecessarily snarky and opinionated on things they don't know enough about, or people just have their own tastes.

On the Fender Indonesia topic, the Fender FMT telecasters and the Fender JA-90 semi-hollow's both are made in Indo, not sure if it's the same facility though, but Fender has been doing Fender branded guitars there for a while... I have both, they're amazing guitars, and priced not too far behind the Tom Delonge custom.

It does play and feel well, but folks are mostly skeptical because we all know the employee that built it isn’t seeing the difference in price. So we’re paying 3x the price for something that cost the company about the same amount.

The body shape is a little strange on the star caster tho and the head stock they added this stripe of paint that matches the body so it's not so ugly. But yeah like I said I can't help but pick it up and I got a prs, a lespaul and an sg right beside it.

The original 70's starcasters are incredible and it's a shame they didn't find their niche more when they came out. They sound so good and play so much different than any other semi hollow guitar because of the weird mashup of gibson and fender specs. Underrated and I wish they were easier to find

As far as signature models go, I’ve always wanted Kurt’s fender signature guitars, Gibson Slash Signature Les Paul Jessica, Adam Jones Gibson Les Paul, and every EVH signature guitar dating back to his Kramer signature models in the 80s. My brother used to have the Peavey EVH Wolfgang model when it was still in production. It had the single volume knob, the Floyd Rose, EVH Drop D Tuna in Flame Top. Still wish he had it, or would’ve given it to me rather than pawning it when he was at his lowest points.
