[ChrisFFTA]

Well according to someone on HCFX who heard from someone that Fender is sending one to... Hmm

Sounds like a great idea

So much better than issuing yet another version of a Strat or Tele

[triviani]

I'm starting to think that the headstock was the best thing of the Starcaster

[ChrisFFTA]

It was a fine lookig guitar, its just that the sum of the parts was not greater than the whole

They're making it a CIJ? In that case it'll actually be affordable!

If this is true, it's beautiful!

I'd still expect a price in excess of $1600 (maybe even $2K), given the pricing of things like the Fender Japan semi-hollow Jaguar and Bass VI models.

And if it has the new WRHBs itnwill sound even worse than the original

Take a set of lollar regals to replace the rubbishy reissue WRHBs and problem solved.

I'd take a new CIJ happily. It'll be:
- consistent
- well made
- cheaper than vintage by some distance
- good wood
- upgrade worthy

Is anyone curious enough to start looking up what famous Starcaster players played gigs on that particular date?

I guess that'd be Radiohead, The Killes and Morrissey...

I just want a neck! Please someone part a few out!

Don't toy with me.

Surprised it has taken them this long to release one. I do think that price is going to be too steep for them to sell many of them though. We might justify it, but most people will see it as an overpriced imported Fender. Let me guess... Sunburst, black, CAR.

[Despot]

I'd say sunburst, oly white and natural.

This was the best response in that bunch:

i picked up a used starcaster recently for $60, it really isn't that great. the stand and mini amp it came with almost make up for it.
