This week we take a look at the 70's super-cool and funky STARCASTER. Designed to take on the mighty ES-335 this pointy alternative didn't really catch on so was it ahead of its time or just a bit rubbish?... we grabbed a Squier CV version to find out what it's like!

IDIOT ALERT: I am not an expert. Some things I do know and some things I don't know but think I know and sometimes I say things that are not entirely correct. Once I have said things it's too late to correct them so please check any 'so called facts' with an adult, google, wikipedia, or someone else that knows.
