‘’Lots of character’’ as real estate agents say. The bridge pickup is an original 1970’s Fender CuNiFe Wide Range Humbucker (sourced online from another guitar) and the neck pickup is a 2000’s Fender Japanese Ceramic Magnet reissue.Īn excellent player and great sounding guitar. The electronics are all DiMarzio pots (500K) with a 1Meg Master Vol pot. The frets have been professionally fret dressed and have approx 70% left. The Back was originally sprayed Black/Dark Walnut but was later sanded back for a new respray (which never eventuated). The face has been fully cut and polished to gloss. The body was cut back completely and fully sealed in Nitro-Cellulose sealer (the neck still retains the original finish/seal) the top face was then re-finished in a traditional three-tone sunburst/tobacco burst (hand sprayed without template in 'Golden Teak', 'Cedar' and 'Walnut') in Nitro. The restoration process saw the heinous Strat switch cavity being plugged, and the rear access hole being cleaned up with added under-trim/bevel to allow a new cover to be dropped in (not included). They also cut a Les-Paul-Style control panel hole in the back to access the pots. Some previous maniac had installed single coil pickups and had cut a rectangular slot to fit a 5-way strat style switch next to the lower f-hole (see pic). Luckily the neck is unscathed except for a removed/faded logo. The tuners, bridge, neck, body and neck plate are all original and the body was stripped back to natural. This Starcaster has been restored by the seller originally purchased as a Neck and Body only.
