I got my hands on a 76 starcaster this year bit of a mess but what a sound, why fender stopped making this model and never reissued it is a crying shame. The tones you can get out of these guitars is awesome, the old wide range seth lover humbuckers are so unlike a gibson pickup. Yes i know these guitars are going for silly money over the last three years but if you have ever had the chance to play one you would understand why. They sound like no other fender ever made with a nice neck and good sized frets, a lot more edge to them than a 335 which i think they would beat on a head to head.
