I love the silica pouch eating joke... I make that same joke with every package. I always tell my wife, "Ooh! It came with a snack!"

I remember telling my bandmates how I wished I could get my hands on a Starcaster. Semi-hollow with Wide-range humbuckers, maple fretboard, strat-style neck, unique headstock, fancy bound/offset body... No-brainer.

Thank you for taking the time to review this amazing guitar. I sold my fender version years ago and have regretted it ever since. I just picked up the Squier and it sounds every bit as good!

I play the Fender Modern Player Starcaster as my main guitar for close to 5 years now. I absolutely love that guitar. I played so many hours on that thing, it really feels like a part of my body. I played Private Stock PRS guitars for 10000€ and silently thought "This is really nice, but I'd rather play my Starcaster right now". I played Jazz gigs and Metal gigs with it and it just works. Really arrived there personally. 1 1/2 years ago I installed some locking tuners and I suddenly had an extra two seconds of sustain, which I absolutely didn't expect. Made me fall in love with it again. Tone-wise: Try giving it some highs. In my experience the "newer" Wide-Range Humbuckers don't get the typical Fender ice-pick quality, but rather the guitar starts breathing. Especially in the neck-position.

This guitar player sucketh

I felt the same way as soon as I picked it up. When you said, "there's something about the way it connects to my body". It's one of the most comfortable guitars I've ever played sitting down. It just sits in the most perfect spot. Most guitars make you slouch more.

Picked one up shortly after your NAMM video - love this guitar! Great to see you get your hands on one!

Bought this exact guitar back in November after watching your summer namm video a couple of times. And I’ve wanted to try a starcaster for a long time, too. So thanks for both of these videos! Hope people will appreciate this beautiful instrument more.

I’ve had mine for two or three weeks and have played it exclusively in that time. I haven’t even it put it through pedals yet - just the onboard Katana reverb, and cant get enough. What a brilliant guitar. I did buy it partly on your recommendation from last year, so thanks for that! My new favourite guitar.

"I regret not getting this sooner" is probably one of the best compliments for a guitar. I've been after a Starcaster as many of the originals you see listed are 76's (my birth year) and missed out on the Fender re-run a few years ago, but this will be my next guitar in a few weeks.

I absolutely love Squier. I think the correlation they have with Fender in terms of great guitars out of the box is much better than Epiphone is to Gibson. I think the guys building Squiers have something to prove. And they have consistently done it time after time after time for me. Good on Squier!!!!

Squier is really good! I have a Bullet Strat that I bought for 120 new as my first guitar and the finish on that is WAY better than on my Fender Tele that I got for 600 new recently. The Tele has a ton of fret sprout, the neck humbucker seems loose and the nut somehow moved while the Squier has none of these issues, not even a millimeter of fret sprout! The Fender of course sounds much, much better and it doesn't go out of tune every 10 minutes but it still feels like I paid a 500 premium just for better pickups, tuners and a Fender logo lmao

The guys building Squiers are definitely factory workers doing so for around or slightly above Korean/Chinese/Indonesian minimum wage. While I'm sure many of them are extremely competent at their jobs, the idea that they 'have something to prove' - or have any real reason to *care* about the quality of their work beyond it meeting whatever QA standards they're held to and more importantly hitting the quotas required of them - because of the reputation of their brand is about as absurd as thinking the same about the guy that made your Big Mac. That's not to say that they don't do great work, but it's important to have a realistic perspective about these things. Even the people building $3000 Made in America Gibsons aren't exactly artisans deeply committed to what people think about their employer, they're factory workers making the same amount as the guy that made my coffee this morning.

Yeah the Squiers are absolutely amazing. I replaced my Fenders with made in China Squier Classic Vibes because I love them so much! Öp The problem is they were to good, there was almost no need for the Mexican instruments anymore.. So sadly they downgraded the Classic Vibe range quiet a bit when changing to made in Indonesia. Yes they reduced the price circa 50$ but that came with a „price“ itself.. My Two Tone Sunburst Classic Vibe 50s is such an amazing instrument. It has a two piece alder body with great looking grain, a rift sawn maple neck and the best thing are the pickups: unlabeled Tonerider Surfaris! I planned to replace the pickups with fender custom shop ones but I actually liked the Surfaris better! Now for 50 dollars less the made in Indonesia Strats have a 5 (or similar) piece nato body and cheap no name pickups which they call „fender designed“. The guitar sounds so much worse. Only thing I like more about the MII guitars is the darker tint of the maple fretboard, but that’s the least important thing..

I like how you play guitar from genres outside of the realm of vintage blues. It makes it easier for me to understand your videos hearing punky and dreamy sounds similar to what I currently play

Man, thanks for that video. I was playing around a looooong time getting a starcaster and fought with a lot of doubts if this guitar for that money can satisfy me enough especially because it's no real Fender. At the end of the day you convinced me with your passion that it would be a great pick. Since then I follow your channel and say a huge THANK YOU from Berlin, Germany.

You look like the kind of guy that people like to mess with at work because you have good hearted reactions

Great vid. The Squier Starcaster is on my list of "must owns." Great sound, feel, and looks, for a great price. The headstock is tied with the smaller 50s style as my favourite.

Your new camera really shows this Starcaster to it's best advantage. When I have looked these over on Sweetwater, i always felt I would like the Walnut finish more but the way it shows up here is just, Wow! Might be the first traditional style burst I ever craved. Plus I gave away my Epi 335, so I'm needing a decent semi-hollow and like you said the p/u's have a truly unique and fun sound. Nice unboxing review. Let's see the full demo soon.

That's a great looking and sounding guitar. Good video! If I hadn't just got a Gretsch 2622T, which I absolutely love, I'd be all over one of these. But it scratched my semi-hollow itch.

I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one out there kissing guitars.

please can you put a multimeter on the output jack and tell me the DC resistance reading for each pickup. Thankyou.

Have this in the walnut color and it's gorgeous. This is my third electric in my stable of guitars. One hollow body arch top (Dean 7 sound Palomino with 3 P90s), one solid body (Fender Johnny Marr Jaguar) and this semi-hollow body Squier Starcaster, which I've had for about 6 months. Only thing I have done to it since is tune it. The Starcaster is so much fun to play and is what I will pick up more often than not. Not the most expensive electric guitar I own, but absolutely the best value.

Bought one in walnut finish last week. Your video from NAMM kinda supported my will and so glad it did. What a great guitar. Edit: Fun thought. I also would rather ask for Squier stuff instead of Fender. More wacky options and mod project offsets.

Hi Ryan. Just subscribed. Great video, thank you. Love my Starcaster. Only problem with mine was the nut which took me about 20 minutes to sort out. By the way I dropped in a set of Fender CuFeNi WRH's (for a custom tele build) and a new wiring harness with 1 meg audio taper pots. The sound improved, but not as much as you would think. Certainly not $400 which is what the Fender pickups cost. Fender did such a fine job on reworking the Squier humbuckers and wiring harness (full size 500k volume pots and 250k tone pots) that if I had to do it again, I would have just kept it stock. Keep doing what you do. Kind Regards.

That Starcaster is just so damn cool. Keep it, throw some wound G strings on it and watch your love for it grow.

I’ve always liked the design of the Starcaster. I remember wanting one of the originals back in the ‘70s when they hit the market, and I couldn’t afford it-as I recall, they were something like $575 list; around $2000 in 2022 dollars. The originals had a strings-through bridge and a master volume control, neither of which are on these reissues-not a big deal for me. But a bigger deal would be the possible lack of a case-Fender’s been lax about offereng cases for bigger or longer-than-normal guitars lately. I have a 2019 Electric XII that came in a bass gigbag, and I can’t find a case to fit it; not a Jazzmaster case-they’re an inch or two short. Does Fender even offer a case for the Starcaster? And the pickups in the Starcaster don’t sound like the ‘70s ones. They sound pretty good, but they don’t seem to have the twang of the originals; they’re more like a decent Gibson-style humbucker. That’s not much of a problem, as apparently the newer Fender Wide Rangers sound better, and Lollar makes a good Wide Range replacement anyway. Back in 1981 I played for a short time with a guy who played nothing but original Starcasters-he had several of them, and I remember trying one of his and being quite impressed. He was a really good player too. Joey Portman from San Antonio, Texas. Hey, Joey, you still out there? Anyway, I’ve been keeping an eye out for a nice Starcaster ever since, but the originals are getting pretty pricey, and they’ve always been scarce. These reissues seem pretty nice, and for $400 plus the cost of a couple of replacement pickups-seems like a pretty good deal.

I also am a big fan of the current Squier line. Since I purchased (used) a signature series JazzMaster...what a guitar. This is a great time for guitars and gear, you can such a wonderful guitar (Fender) for an amazing price!

I AM STINKIN' IN LOVE RYAN !!!!!!! Bro, this thing is STUNNING

Nice vid! I bought the Fender Starcaster bass (used). Despite being a "Fender", it was made in China. Sounds like the Squier version is just about as good but costs quite a bit more.

I lusted after a modern starcaster aged cherry burst. Beautiful. Got to try one. Way heavier than I expected, and I didn’t like the neck. So glad I got to try one. Bought an Ibanez RC 365h instead. Still love the look of these guitars, still tempted by the squier...

More Shoegaze please. The Starcaster would be awsome and Youre an awsome Shoegazer😊

My favs are Gretschs but whenever I see the high quality Squiers, I lust for them. I want one of these now and I still want the 70s classic vibe tele custom in pure black. Oh and the new Toronado.

I have one of these and they are awesome! I only play squier because they have really got a nice high end product that won’t break the bank.

Had to comment on your PLAY! Yeah man, that was great!

Looking at the Starcaster headstock I now realize where Ibanez got their inspiration from when they made the mid 80's Roadstar...I have a 1985 RG-440 and I always liked the headstock...Now I see why...

I got one in November in the UK before they sold out for a few months. Lovely guitar with a few quirks. Tuners were becoming a problem so swapped out for some decent ones. No more tuning issues. Neck is a little dark for my liking, some use 1M pots but looks a faff to change. And mine had rough spots on the F hole binding. Neck a little thin but so well made its forgivable. Good setup out of box, intonation also a little off. I'll never flog it, this one's staying :-)

5:25 Guitar Center $399.99 Fender Shop has the Affinity series version at $299.99 no pick guard or pickup covers or the black head stock trim.

I listen to mostly metal (all subgenres) but have lately gotten super into blues, and recently inherited my grandpa's Epiphone S310 HSS. I started wanting to keep playing metalcore, but lately John Mayer, BB King and SRV have changed my thoughts. This guitar is going to be my next, and from what I can tell, it definitely checks all the boxes for me

I got one of these, same model and finish, six or eight moths ago. I love the looks. Neck is really good. The full gloss finish feels and plays great. But it does have some "staying in tune issues". It's not horrible, but it's not great in that respect. The other, bigger issue is those pickups. I knew they were going to be bright, so I wasn't surprised about that. But they have a very "hi-fi" sound to them that I can't quite get used to, and that fits in with my amp and pedal settings very differently than any other guitars I own. And I think there's a slight upper-mid frequency resonant peak that ends up being kind of ear fatiguing after a while. I've gotten plenty of good comments from people about the unique look of the instrument - on the other hand, no one's commented on it sounding great. I think it's a good value, and the sound of the pickups might be just what you're looking for … but I'd say try one out through your set up to make sure it sounds right.

I have the Fender one and got plenty of comments about the great sound on stage. Looks too. In my experience I can play through any amp I want and get it to sound good. But it's true that that sound doesn't work with other guitars too well. But I switched to a modelling rack unit on stage, so it's not longer my problem. I find, that the Starcaster needs a lot more highs to be able to breathe properly than any other guitar I played, but that may also just be preference.

I love the headstock it looks like a shoe on the gogo. And the vintage tuners look like the shoe eye lace holes.

Still having trouble finding the right hardshell for this one. Any suggestions? PS got exact that same model. Stunning it is!!

I just got one with walnut finish. Haven't had a chance to play around with it yet but all in all first impression is really nice.

@60 Cycle Hum, unscrew scratch plate and check to see if the bolt from the top screw has made an indentation on guitar, these starcasters have the same issue, they make the small bolt too long and it damages the paint work at times

This guitar sounds and looks amazing! I own a squier tele thinline 70s. Is there a big difference in sound compared to this starcaster. I am not very knowable tech wise but they both have a similar humbucker. Does that mean their sound is very similar?
