Bit of a long shot;does anybody out there have a body shape for a 70s Fender Starcaster?
I usually build acoustics ,a friend has asked me to build one of these quirky looking guitars.
I live in the UK and I have not seen one.
I have scaled up a photo on Photoshop ,it's near but not quite right.
Any information would be very much apprieciated.
Greetings from a very wet Hastings 1066 Rick

I just gave one back to a kid last night after a setup...he got it for $25 at a garage sale, never played! If I can get it back for an hour, I'll trace it for you...just the body?

I think Rick mentions the 335-like Starcaster of the '70s, pretty rare and selling at premium prices on the vintage market. Not the more recent cheap acoustic import.

That would be great Larry, but as Laurent says this is the old 70s Starcaster semi acoustic with f holes. Fender have recently brought out a budget range of electrics and acoustics under the Starcaster name. They bare no resemblement to the 70s model.

Thanks Rick

Ah, yes...okay Rick...I see what you're after now, and the kid's starcaster is the little solidbody "strat wanna-be"....maybe next time!
