Author Topic: I bought a new guitar  (Read 5210 times)

I'm stuck with my crappy Fender Starcaster(Begginer guitar that comes with set). Anyone got any reccomendations for a mediocre player?
my starcaster sounds really good for how much I payed for it.  It just has some mechanical issues I dont care enough about to fix.  Like the tremolo system is completely borked.  No matter how tight I have it, it floats.  I have 5 springs in there and its screwed all the way to the wood.  I can't use a bar anymore because they just bend and the bridge doesnt move.  And yet it still bends up when I push down on the bridge. 

And the action is a bit high on the upper end.  And the single coils buzz like no other when the are used alone. 

How much did you pay?

The guitar I was using in the pedal demo in my other topic, was my starcaster.

How much did you pay?
Well I didn't pay for it.  My parents got it for me from Costco and it was a kit haha.

Did it come with the crappiest mic in the world? :D

No.  Just guitar, amp, cable, strap, strings, tuner, and crappy picks.


Same here, for my first guitar at least.
I still use it for all my drop C stuff, cause the input jack got forgeted by a fairy or something and only works if I have the guitar parallel to the ground.
