1974 Fender Starcaster

This clean vintage Fender Starcaster electric guitar came through the shop last year. It was a joy to play and a fine example of the model. I'm always looking for clean vintage Fender Starcaster guitars but I'm especially looking for Black and White. Please contact me here to sell my vintage Fender Starcaster guitar.

• Weight: 8lbs 10oz
• Nut width: 1 5/8"

Originality: Appears to be totally original except for strings. We can find no repairs or replaced parts.
