About Squier Contemporary Starcaster

After its groundbreaking introduction in the '70s, the Starcaster revolutionized the semi-hollow guitar design with its distinctive offset body shape, catering to the most audacious players with its versatile sounds and futuristic styling. The Squier Contemporary Active Starcaster, a refined version of the original Fender model, is a testament to this legacy.

This stylish electric guitar is engineered with a sealed semi-hollow body, a design choice that effectively minimizes feedback, making it an ideal instrument for both stage performances and studio recordings. Powering this sleek, Shoreline Gold guitar are dual Squier SQR active ceramic humbucking pickups, delivering a high-output signal that can handle a wide range of musical genres.

The guitar's neck is crafted from roasted maple, a material chosen for its superior tone and stability. A sculpted heel design enhances playability, providing improved access all the way to the 22nd fret. This feature makes it a perfect choice for musicians who demand flexibility and comfort while playing complex pieces.

High-performance components are a key part of this elegant guitar. It boasts a fully adjustable bridge with a stop tailpiece, ensuring a rock-solid string feel that can withstand vigorous strumming and picking. Additionally, it features a set of sealed-gear tuning machines with split shafts, facilitating smooth tuning action and easy restringing.

The Contemporary Active Starcaster is not just about performance; it's also about style. The guitar's eye-catching aesthetic is accentuated by stealthy black chrome hardware and a glossy matching painted contoured headstock. Chrome logos add a premium touch to this shiny, gold-colored instrument, making it a standout choice for musicians who value both sound and appearance.
