Fender recreates the sound and feel of the legendary Stratocaster in the super-affordable Starcaster, from the three single-coils to the rosewood fretboard.

"WOW"
WOW, my dad got me this guitar as a graduation present of another website for free, he thought he was getting me a real strat that was worth like $500-$700, so we where both kinda bumed out when that's not what I got, we went back to complain only to find out we had misread, but after taking it to the local music shop and having it adjusted Its a dream.
Sound
The sound is... just wow. for a guitar this cheap you cant get any better. I play in a band, and we play any thing for green day, to skillet, to bon jovi, to nirvana, to marilyn mansen. I also take this to my guitar lessens sometimes, where I mainly play blues, and stuff like "free fallen" and this guitar handles it all. I mainly use this guitar for stuff like skillet or bvb where i have to tune down to drop c or c# because i put 11 gage strings on it by mistake and it handles that well.
Features
the tuners are great for a guitar of this price, the stay in tune pretty well, I haven't use the trem much because that would most certainly knock me out of tune, for stock pick ups you cant complain, there decent and I like them, might switch them out for some emg sa set in the future because I mainly use this guitar for heavy stuff.
Ease of Use
Very easy to get a good sound out of this, especially if you already have a rig you like and you plug this into it. the neck is a little on the thick side, but you get used to it after a little bit of playing. its probably my second or third favorite of my five guitars, behind my les paul jr special humbucker or my s420
Quality
like I said the tuners are nice for the price, the stock pick ups are not bad, but i might replace them
Value
A Great value, probably better then most $300-$400 guitars.
Manufacturer Support
idk haven't had to deal with them
The Wow Factor
I have it in red, and the finish is beautiful, it can also take a beating (but I wouldn't test that)
Musical Background:
self taught guitar for about a tear and a half, about 2 years ago started taking lessens, in a band, can also play bass and drum
Musical Style:
rock, punk, grunge, pop rock, blues (a little),
