there use to be, but it's been worn down by the trying times, and the oppression of fascist americanism, maaaaan...

HAHAHA
That's the replica Epiphone has been doing for about 10 years - apparently it's just 1 coat of lacquer.
Lennon's was a sunburst given to him in 1965. He painted it psychedelic for the "Magical Mystery Tour" filming, then had it stripped in '68 or so.

Fender has all these hideous T-Shirts with big graphics that they're currently selling in department stores. They have one with a Starcaster. It was the least tacky of the bunch but I find it so odd somebody at Fender or somebody licensing this from Fender is aware of the Starcaster for the purposes of making t-shirts but not the actual guitar again.matthoj wrote:
Not saying they should bring back the guitar or anything, I just found that odd.

They should. And the Electric XII and Coronado. Although a lot their appeal must lie in their near mythic/rare status they should be available as regular guitars, not just magical artefacts.

I alwasy wonder about that. Would coronados and the like be really that good compared to a similiearly priced gibson hollowbody or gretsch. Or are they just popular because they are so rare ond collectible.GeorgeF wrote:They should. And the Electric XII and Coronado.

Boy, I think I would have to go with the STARCASTER. I think it's the mythical rare thing, but that slant and the Prince headstock just wraps it up for me.

If i gave my am dlx strat a humbucker for the bridge position and an lsr roller nut, i would probably play it all the time. Oh, and maybe the neck off a tom delonge stratocaster! A long time ago i put a delonge neck on an old mexico fat strat, was the fastest i have ever played in my life, and just seemed to intonate perfectly.

You know if they brought them back they'd be shit. It's Fender.mickie08 wrote:I alwasy wonder about that.

Nocaster

they also aren't all that rare or particularly expensive. ebay.com is littered with coronodos going for less than $1000 usually, and electric XIIs normally go for what, about 2 grand at most? starcasters come up for sale less often, but the 4 or 5 i've seen in the UK have been sub- £2000. if you desperately wanted one it's not that big a deal, certainly better than hoping fender will reissue them, cos it ain't going to happen.BacchusPaul wrote:You know if they brought them back they'd be shit.

Than in 1968 he had a professional strip the paint and put on one coat of lacquer.
the rest is history
