They have one.

I can’t believe Squier made a Starcaster. That’s crazy. Remember Johnny Greenwood is to blame/praise for this.

Picked mine up about a month ago - one of the first to get one in Canada. CV in Sunburst, and it sounds GREAT. Couldn't be happier with it, great to see the review!

This is such a nice video!! Imma share this with friends because this quality of video deserves even more views!!

I got the affinity in black - plays and sounds amazingly good! The neck is one piece maple with satin finish. I guess this guitar is topping the whole affinity series, I just love it!

I bought the white version of the affinity. It's such a great guitar

Tried one of these out on the weekend - not sure they touch on it but the necks have a really nice thin profile on both models. Also they're really light (unlike an epi dot) so easy to lug around. Super versatile with the Wide ranges on the CV version; seriously considering buying one now. A must try for Greenwood fans..!

The affinity in candy apple red and the cv in walnut are the two best looking finishes ive seen on a squier anything freaking brilliant.

From the headstock to the pickups & that lovely body shape, it's a thumbs up this end... And it's a Squire, alot guitar for the money...!

As far as people who play the Starcaster...how could you guys forget to mention Jonny Greenwood from Radiohead. Lol. Also, love this review.

Shread, dude! It seems that no matter what style you play, one of these will get it done. I recently purchased one in the CV series, a sunburst. LOVE IT!!!

That contemporary starcaster looks amazing!

Holy shit. I love the look of those

I'm convinced Joss can make any guitar sound great! Versatile Beast🐅! Cheers🍻

Jonny Greenwood dudes! He's the man with a Starcaster

I´m massively interested in this guitar. It opens wide ample avenues for creativity

Awesome designed guitars for this price, well done Fender 🎸‼️

I like the clean sound of the walnut model.

The fretboard on my Affinity was scratchy like you describe with the factory strings on there...the issue disappeared as soon as I put on some flatwounds. The only other thing was I had to pull back the saddle on the two lowest strings. Other than that I'm very happy with the Affinity for 299 US dollars!

Always thought the headstock looks like a midievel polearm. Very metal. You guys rip. Awesome video

Affinity 2:42 clean 4:16 drive

as soon as you go distortion...no one can tell if its any good or not anyway. clean tells me all i need, i can distort later if i wish.

Picked up the CV Starcaster in natural finish a few days ago. Amazingly playable guitar....I can't set it down. It could have cost twice the money and I would feel I got my money's worth.

Dave Keuning of The Killers uses two originals a natural and sunburst. The Sam’s Town album you can clearly hear classic Starcaster tones. When you were Young most notably. Fab guitars.

I cant wait to get my CV starcaster in walnut! Couple more weeks....

Did someone tell you guys to look more professional for this vid? Because this looks more like an advertisement than your previous videos. Also the editing is very good mate! 👍🏻

I am so tempted by these. I love Fender/Squier guitars and love ES335 style guitars, but am not a Gibson fan... sorted!

Where’d you get that necklace? I love it.

Squier Contemporary Active Starcaster 2019 in Surf Perl? Why not just put all the options in a computer and randomly spit out combinations?

Will it fit in a Gibson 339 case? Or what case fits good? Please advise Thanks

Man I wish the classic vibe came in that candy red.

This isnt really a demo - more like showing off. I have a "76 model and it is a warm, jazzy baby which can honk, if you want to. Lovely weight sexy to hold. Its not made for shredding

I been looking for one to hotrod but from here through my cellphone it sounds to me like it lacks midrange. Like I mostly use Gibson 335's, godin Montréal, novo & jazzcaster mixes the ones I tune to C standard, drop A & D standard. Cause I keep my les Paul's, sg"s, hotrod teles etc on D#. Guess I need to try it in person. I hear it scooped from my cell. But thank u for chering.

My next guitar in walnut

Squire is using the Epiphone tune o matic and stop bar tail peice.

Joss & Mark, how would the CV model compare in tone to something like an ES-335 Gibson/Epiphone type instrument ?

Maybe not quite as warm as either of them. A little more bright and resonant :)

Getting one to put an EGC neck on for exactly this.

the inexpensive Fender Coronado as far as I can see. Seems to have that nice sound semi hollow sound.

I do think the Kemper would make a broom with strings sound incredible. I'd like to see these guitars through a solid state (non-modeling) and a tube amp.

Oh, no. That's a lovely guitar-that Walnut stained Starcaster baby. Wish the Squier logo weren't so dark and prominent, though. A treatment like the JMascis JM would have been nice.

Could it be upgraded with Bigby? I would love to do that. Sir

David - Acoustically speaking, they're pretty good. Remember, it is a laminated top which doesn't vibrate very well. They're not as good as an acoustic guitar, but better than any solid body electric...

there's a tremolo pedal on, or the tremolo/vibrato is on in the amp, plus reverb

You can't swap necks on this unfortunately very easily, it is a 22 fret neck with no overhang, which means the heel of the neck is flush with the fretboard. Mounting most replacement necks would require leaving a gap between the heel and the body to get correct 25.5" scale length and intonation.

I wish they had touched on the contemporary not having the f holes. but hey ho

Is it the same as the fender reissue version tho? I mean we all know both are made in china..

The Fender reissue was made in China. These Squiers are made in Indonesia. I believe the Classic Vibes are the same (or almost the same) as the Fender ones.

Goose Gaskins The modern play instruments were made in China back in 2012. Since then Fenders QC has risen drastically, especially on their Squier models. I believe the CV models are Indonesian made. I don’t particularly care where instruments are made, but in this case it’s relevant. The Indonesian instruments are typically higher quality and more consistent all around. Not to say that the MP series are bad, they aren’t, I just feel that the modern production methods and QC coming from Fender Indonesia are much better. Honestly, I’d buy a Squier over an American Fender any day.

I don't get why Fender handed off to Squier for the Starcaster model. Now to hear that the Squier model has cheaper, shittier pickups than the Fender wide-range, which were already something less than great. It's like they purposely wanted to create a scarcity-demand for the Fender models that are no longer produced. FU Fender!
