i just bought one like yours for 130$ off facebook.

sounds great!

Nice

Bought a lefty CV50s Telecaster back in 2020 and last year I tried my hands at replacing the pickups with the Custom Shop 51' Nocasters. The original pickups sounded good but I just wanted to try and see what it would sound like and it sounds louder and "tangier" , more chime to it, I like it. The only things about my CV that I would improve if I could is the weight and the "skunk" stripe lifting at the headstock end of the neck. The weight of my guitar must be at least 9 lbs. if not more and I didn't find any information anywhere as to how to fix the "skunk" stripe problem. Aside from these 2 things, I love this guitar.

That's pretty cool. I'd hang on to that. The guitar sounds great through it. Thanks for sharing.

It was cool to see you discover it worked as I know the auction description said it didn't, SCORE!

I have this same PA

Very cool!! Sick Hendrix poster!

always love the sound of a real spring reverb... sounds great

Back in 2010 I found a 20th anniversary Squire Strat for 150 bucks. The neck is in perfect shape from the frets and the fret board. It never goes out of tune even after using the whammy at full drop. The only mod I plan is getting the loaded pick guard with the David Gilmore electronics. 🙂

Ooo very koo!

Right now I'm modding a Firefly EVH Striped. Already has a nice roasted maple neck and FR Trem. It's a comfortable player, so I decided to upgrade the pickup and bought a DiMarzio Evolution in black and red. It looks pretty cool. I also tossed the cheap volume pot and put in a Bournes 500k pot for smoothing control. Lastly, because I don't mind drilling, I'm installing a kill switch that is on its way as we speak. After that I'll just polish the frets up and get with it.

Nice channel you got! i subbed! keep up the good work

That neck looked crazy dry...and the spot looks like a glue spot...a sidways razor would have got rid of it

I picked up a 2019 bullet tele in surf green, string through body, for $119 new. I happened to find a pretty nice one in my local GC. Cleaned and dressed the frets, oiled the fretboard, put on a graphtech nut and Wilkinson tuners, new strings, and it plays great!

I got an excellent condition used Fender Performer USA Tele for 800 at Guitar Center recently. I love modding stuff but these days I generally start with a nicer guitar that just needs one or two personal preference tweaks. Easier, cheaper, and it holds value better than putting 700 dollars into a Squier. I think all the CV Squiers really need are a setup and a better trem block on the Strats, then they’re ready to rock.

If you are going to talk about a brand you should probably figure out how it's name is actually spelled.

Good upgrades, nice playing and sweet sounding Tele!

Please keep goin! Hearing people's take on guitars, especially mods and cheaper gear, is really interesting, especially as a learning lutheir. Can't wait to see what you post in the future!

Great playing and a cool vid! 🙂

Good tube - I dig oddball gits. You were getting some nice tones out of it!

You are supposed to finish the headstock by yourself to the shape you prefer

I have a thing for these, have about 25, trying to get every model/color headstock and fret board maple & rosewood. I have the Starcaster J bass sunburst and looking for the bass amp and a better condition 15 watt guitar amp. Bass was latest acquisition and most expensive. Some folks think these are $400- $500 guitars, they are not. I also do the 2014 Gibson lower end melody maker's and looking for a 2014 SGJ.

Mine is a 2004, great bones but all electronics suck! Each color tells you what dept. store it was purchased at. They came with a guitar, gig bag and 10w amp. Mines a 3-color sunburst that were sold at Walmart. I paid $100 this year for the whole kit, like new, from the original owner. I plan on modding the electronics, tuners and bridge.

That sounds truely awful! Fun and unusual guitar for a collection, though.

The Starcaster BRAND (that's the word your looking for) was, when it came out, a "cheaper than Squire" Fender brand that were really horrible guitars. A rosewood fingerboard isn't a big deal, the laws weren't really in place at the time, no need for Pau Ferro or Laurel (nothing wrong with those anyway). These ahd plywood bodies like the cheaper strat styles at the time, some squires and low prices Kramers to name a couple. When the real actual Starcaster guitars came out Epiphones were pretty horrible guitars too, the great Gibson built ones a thing of the past. This was before before Japan started sending us their good stuff; Ibanez and Yamaha were just starting to give us some pretty good stuff. Suddenly; BOOM! The Yamaha SG2000 and Ibanez Artist series came out followed by first gen Squires (great guitars). Years later you got the good Epiphones.

I found one with the Strat type headstock at a thrift shop . Put Hipshot locking tuners , CTS pots , Tonerider Alnico II pickups , Switchcraft input jack . Also found a Made in Korea Fender Telecaster there and swapped out everything as mentioned above .Tonerider pickups are awesome !

Also this guitar has a three ply pick guard. white/black/white

So I recently bought a Squier Bullet at a pawn shop and noticed it has pick ups that's poles are different heights so this is a good thing I'm pretty sure right?

It’s a guitar you d a

A very complex and competitive guitar. Of the many years made, I like the 05. Some were not even dry when they hit the floors. I have a triple flamed neck on mine but I've owned 6 or so and had to sell them. Lots of secrets in them.

Sounds like pure shit. Good for a canoe paddle.

If I’m not mistaken, I saw these for sale in a Toys R Us back in the day…

For not wanting to talk about the “real” Starcaster, from the ‘70’s…you sure talked a lot about it…I hope you get one some day! Peace

Sounds damn good 12:39

I’ll always associate it with Sam’s Club, where I saw them for sale new for around $100, give or take. 🎸

Get it!!!! Foxy….lady!

They came out with fender branded chinese starcasters(the hollow body) around 2013-2014 and it lasted about three years at the time they also re released the coronado sids by side with the hollow body starcaster , I'm pulling this from memory so i might be off a year or so with the dates of re release.

I found an arrowhead bass could not get the out of town shop to ship it to me. They did start to get the smaller body thickness later in production .

The Pentatonic King! 👑

Bought one in cosco for 169 with amp strap and jack in 2007.

oddball

I also modded one of these, I found the neck to be very good, but the pickups and pots to be complete crap. swapped the pick guard with one loaded with EMG pickups. It played very well, and my niece has it as her number 2 guitar.

Were these not the guitars that came in the starter pack with a little amp, strap, bag etc.? I had one of these at one time.

People have said Starcaster is lower quality than Squier. Bottom of the Barrel. I've had a few Starcasters (with the standard strat headstalk,) and there's really no discernable difference.

that is either a cool semi hollow or a costco special stratocaster😂

Assuming you live in an apartment do you think the neighbors would complain if you used that Jimi Hendrix poster for a dart board?
