Who can build me a Starcaster body?
I'm looking at a Starcaster project, possibly with a JM vibrato. It needs to fit a Strat neck. I'd settle for a Warmoth Mooncaster, but the body seems a bit too small. I can't find anyone else that builds a Starcaster body with a carved top. Are there any other options?

Sadly, the Rosser guitars one isn't a carved top:

I was in touch with him a little while ago. He is apparently planning on offering a carved top model, and was going to have me be the first one. I may still take him up on it, but wonder if he is the only game in town.

Are these popular around here for builds? I’ve never seen his stuff before, the jm/jag prices are so low..tommycarlos wrote: ↑Sun Feb 25, 2018 5:37 pmSadly, the Rosser guitars one isn't a carved top:

Not sure about how popular they are. I know at least one other poster has a non-reverse firebird from one of his bodies.Ohioisonfire wrote: ↑Mon Feb 26, 2018 6:18 am...

My non-reverse firebird body arrived yesterday and it's stunning, so I am pretty excited to see how it turns out. The price was certainly right as well.

In the realm of entire kits, there is also Pitbull guitars here in Australia...

Their kits are generally pretty nice.

Re: Who can build me a Starcaster body?
Pitbull's Starcaster kit used to be similar to the ebay one I linked above, with a standard TOM style stoptail bridge (like the actual Starcaster). Their website above now shows it has a trapeze tailpiece, which makes it somewhat unique. One could of course drill for a stoptail if the centre block is wide enough.tommycarlos wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2018 7:20 pmIn the realm of entire kits, there is also Pitbull guitars here in Australia...
