Design and Production
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. 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 in production from 1974 to 1977 to 1980 or 1982, depending on sources. An advertisement from 1977 states that the Starcaster's first creation was in 1975.
