Squier Starcaster Affinity Dlx Mn Sienna Sunburst

A Silhouette Born in the 70s, Revisited in the Affinity Version

Introduced in the 1970s, the Starcaster made an impression with its offset shape and unique approach to semi-hollow guitars. This Affinity Series Starcaster Deluxe carries forward this "off the beaten path" DNA by adapting it for modern use: more accessible ergonomics, an easy-to-master neck, and gear designed for long playing sessions, whether at home or rehearsals.

For Which Guitarists and Styles?

The Squier Affinity Starcaster DLX is aimed both at beginners seeking an inspiring first electric guitar and intermediate players looking for a versatile semi-hollow. Thanks to its HH configuration, it naturally covers rock, indie, pop, blues, and even heavier genres, while maintaining a nice breadth in clean tones.

The Sound

Its laminated maple body provides clarity and definition, while the center block helps retain attack and sustain, limiting feedback typical of more open bodies. The ceramic humbuckers deliver an energetic sound, with present mids and an output level suited for effects and modern amplifiers. The Master Volume, Master Tone, and 3-position selector allow quick switching from a sharp bridge pickup tone to a rounder neck pickup sound, with a combined position for balance.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To maintain the original feel, choose an electric guitar string set in gauge 009-042 (nickel). A strap with standard ends will also fit the "Standard" strap buttons on this model.
