2013 Fender Modern Player Starcaster
Summary: A blast from the past, Fender's Modern Player Starcaster semi-hollowbody guitar revives one of Fender's more obscure designs of the past. Back in the mid '70s, Fender introduced a guitar with a laminated maple body, solid alder center block, and a pair of humbucking pickups. Although many discarded the Starcaster as too un-Fender-like, a few up-and-coming guitarists saw it as the extremely dynamic and expressive instrument that it is. Pick up a Fender Modern Player Starcasters from Sweetwater, and you'll know why.
