The Starcaster® broke the mold of semi-hollow guitar design with its offset body shape when it was introduced in the ’70s, offering versatile sound and out-of-this-world styling for the most adventurous players. The Affinity Series® Starcaster Deluxe features several player-friendly refinements such as a lightweight semi-hollow body, a slim and comfortable “C”-shaped neck with familiar Stratocaster® headstock, an adjustable bridge with stop tailpiece for solid tuning stability and sealed die-cast tuning machines with split shafts for smooth, accurate tuning and easy restringing. Loaded with a pair of Squier humbucking pickups with 3-way switching for genre-defying sonic variety, this model is ready to accompany any player at any stage.
The Affinity Series Starcaster Deluxe represents a higher-class twist on Squier’s array of semi-hollow Starcaster 6-strings. It all starts with a classic semi-hollow Starcaster foundation with a comfortable offset-waist figure, boasting a bound all-maple laminate construction that supplies enhanced resonance and an airy voice. On the opposite end, the Squier Affinity Series Starcaster Deluxe brandishes a slim maple “C” neck, bend-friendly medium-jumbo frets, and a sleek Indian laurel fingerboard. To top it all off, two covered Squier ceramic humbuckers dish out clear, articulate, and powerful tone that navigates between jazzy cleans, crunchy alt-rock rhythms, and gain-laden leads without batting an eye. It all adds up to a rock-solid semi-hollow that’ll set you apart from the pack with its stylish offset looks and eye-catching aesthetic appointments.
Treble-tinged semi-hollow maple construction
Inspired by the vintage Fender Starcasters of the 1970s, the Squier Affinity Series Starcaster Deluxe boasts a stylish offset semi-hollow body. Laminated maple comprises the top, back, and sides to provide you with a bright and articulate chime — a tone that’s well within the traditional Fender/Squier sphere, only with a richer resonance and airier feel. Moreover, the Squier Affinity Series Starcaster Deluxe’s semi-hollow construction features a center block running through the body to defeat squealing feedback when you start turning up the gain.
Slim C-shaped neck
The Squier Affinity Series Starcaster Deluxe’s maple neck offers a fast, slick feel thanks to its classic “C” profile. Found all across both Fender and Squier’s 6-string offerings, the mighty “C” shape is arguably the most ubiquitous neck shape, hitting a perfect “just right” feel for players of all styles and hand sizes. Topside, you get a smooth 9.5-inch Indian laurel fingerboard studded with 22 medium-jumbo frets — an ideal fretboard foundation that grants you comfortable chording and smooth, easy-playing bends across all 22 frets.
