The guitars were usually the same shape as Fender's Stratocaster and the bass the same shape as the Fender Jazz Bass. The Starcaster name was revived for a range of "value-priced" Starcaster by Fender guitars, basses, and drums unrelated to the Starcaster of the 1970s. However, an advertisement from 1977 states that the Starcaster's first creation was in 1975. The Starcaster was in production from 1976 to 1982. Unlike most semi-hollow guitars which had their necks set in the bodies in the traditional style, the Starcaster retained Fender's bolt-on neck design, which at the time, used a three-bolt joint. The Starcaster was designed by Gene Fields to be a high quality instrument, although it was manufactured at a time when Fender's standards had lowered considerably. The Starcaster was part of Fender's attempt to enter the semi-hollowbody market, which was dominated by Gibson's ES-335 and similar designs. The Fender Starcaster is a series of semi-hollowbody electric guitars made by the Fender company. For the later line of electric guitars, see Starcaster by Fender. This article is about the '70s semi-hollowbody guitar.
