Squier Contemporary Active Starcaster Electric Guitar

The Starcaster broke the mold of semi-hollow guitar design with its offset body shape when it was introduced in the ‘70s, offering versatile sounds and out-of-this-world styling for the most adventurous players. The Contemporary Active Starcaster is an evolution of the original Fender model, engineered with a sealed semi-hollow body for minimized feedback and powered by dual Squier SQR active ceramic humbucking pickups for high-output tone.

Updated body construction The Squier Contemporary Active Starcaster takes its form from the vintage Starcasters of old, with the exception of the F-holes. You’ll love the contoured maple laminate body that resonates extremely well. This guitar is fitted with a C-shaped maple neck and 12″ fretboard radius that’s perfectly suited to almost all playing styles. Dialing in your sound is easy, thanks to the simplified master volume and tone controls. Boasting great upgrades, the Squier Contemporary Active Starcaster is an axe for the modern player.

Player-friendly features include a slim, comfortable “C”-shaped neck profile with a fast-playing 12”-radius fingerboard and narrow-tall frets, as well as a stop tailpiece for solid tuning stability. This Squier model also features a matching painted headstock contour, black chrome-plated hardware and a smooth satin neck finish for a natural feel.
