About This Listing

Hello,

Up for sale is a first year of production 1976 Fender Starcaster in tobacco sunburst color, with a beautiful figured maple front and back.

Out of the same large private collection as most of our other listings.  This collection is made of original and pristine instruments only.

Absolutely zero issue original Starcaster.  100% original down to the last screw (body, neck, color, finish, hardware, pickups, pots, wires, solder joints, nut, frets, plastic parts etc...), bare the string tree. The original string tree was a large piece of metal and was replaced by a more traditional looking Fender type string tree.

Guitar is set-up with 10-46, and ready to play (relief, action and intonation).  Hardly any fretwear.   Minor wear on some parts of the body, mainly light scratches  body.  See pictures, nothing drastic and absolutely no impact on playability and sound.  

Comes with an old hard case which is non Fender but is the case that was originally sold with the guitar.

Please contact me for exact shipping costs as they might be lower than the ones I put on the site.  

Check our feedback: buy with confidence.
