Construction
The Starcaster had a unique headstock design, with a painted bottom curve matching the color of the guitar body, that no other Fender guitar has had before or since. (Some prototypes of the Fender Marauder guitar, a model cancelled before production and also designed by Fields, had a similar headstock design.) It was also unusual for a semi-hollow guitar in having an asymmetrical ("offset") body, a maple fretboard, a bolt-on neck, a novel control configuration consisting of a volume and tone control for each pickup as well as a master volume control, and Fender's traditional six-on-a-side tuning pegs.
