Out of curiosity I did some searching

It seems they do not make these Fender Starcaster Stratocasters anymore!!

I guess they felt they were too good for the price and were curtailing the sales

of their expensive Fender Stratocasters

some going for over $4,000.00!!!!


There was just one black one left in stock at Amazon

going for $144.00 WITH SHIPPING!!!!!


I'll probably hate myself in the morning, but...

I just couldn't pass it up

...considering they are obviously not made anymore

The same company that makes the Gold Top Les Paul copy, currently on its way to me, also makes a Fender Stratocaster copy

This being the case I've decided to cancel this order of the black Starcaster


I've also decided that it's pointless to modify a multi-thousand-dollar guitar with better pickups

However, modifying a cheap copy and making it sound like a multi-thousand-dollar guitar

makes a lot more sense, when you think about it
