  • You just gotta love spoiled rich-kid elitists who think any guitar that doesn't cost thousands of dollars is crap. They're always in denial, lmao. Stop being butthurt, if you can't handle the vid, get the fuck off this page.

  • Keep on "rocking", brother!!

  • AWESOME!!

  • Awesome. Just practice 6 hours a day and you'll be like john petrucci. Keep it up man! :D

  • I have a starcaster but it is silverburst and the "head" is shaped differently

  • wow that is an ugly ass headstock

  • dude you freaking suck, don't evan try to play paranoid that is a disgrace

  • hell yeah man its about the music fuck the rich kids.

  • no offense but you are pretty bad with the paranoid and im pretty sure its played on the twelth fret and hammer onto 14 on a string then d 14, and i play with a starcaster too but i am fucking awesome

  • Haha I've been playing for five years and I still own this damn guitar. It's not bad actually, put it through a lot of hell and it still comes through for me playing wise and tone wise.

    Real nice heckling a kid who obviously just started playing guitar by the way, assholes.

  • @MrMuddyBleach just curious.. what kind of amp do you use?

  • @leo3k Well right now I'm playing either with a cheap Fender solid state champ (I think it says XD on it and it's 30 watts) that I borrowed from my drummer, or a Roland 15X (15 watts, solid state) that I don't play for practice because it's not loud enough. I am going to get a Traynor YCV40 within the next week with some graduation money I got. The Traynor is 40 watts and is a tube amp. OH and I also have a cheap little Spectrum amp that's 10 watts but I only play it in my room occassionally.

  • Oh and by the way, if you get a new amp for cheap I wouldn't suggest a Fender one. They're really clear but they have no personality to them, and they're really trebly. Fender guitars however are real good.

  • u suck at playing paranoid jeez you are offensive to black sabbath man jeez!!

  • Have this guitar itz chopped up and played into a better amp Peavey Artist 240 EMG SA20, Sperzel locking tuners Babics tremolo system ideas for you or just get a better guitar cause it sounds like SHIT!!!!!!!

  • just learn to play first!

  • @mitrakos1 dude,no offence but that's the most retarded comment i've heard in a long time!

    guitar legends like jimi hendrix,angus young and ozzy osbourne all started out like this kid,besides,I bet you can't play half as well as him

  • @anime4ever2996 Ohhh! come on i just sayed that if he wanted to upload a video on youtube he should learn to play better!

  • @anime4ever2996 ozzy isn't a guitarist he's a singer his guitarist is zack wylde, just saying, and before that he had rhandy rhodes and before that he had tony ioni

  • I just knew there would be a bunch of spoiled rich kids littering the comment section with shit like 'STARCASTER SUX, MAKE YOUR DADDY THROW DOWN $1000+ FOR YOUR FIRST GUITAR LIKE I DID HERPA HERP"

  • @deengew i dont want to sound mean, but your jealous because you have a shit guitar, i also have a shit guitar after 5 years :(

  • @reviewsnake

    i never disclosed any information about what i own

  • @deengew i know what you have

  • @deengew o yeah and when you say that type of shit it makes you sound weird, and i saw your rocket, you're fucking weird

  • what distortion pedle did you use

  • Paranoid, rock you like a hurricane and don't know the last one

  • i like the playin ur a king at the guitar mate

  • GREAT job, and great Paranoid cover. Who care what the haters say... Keep rocking!

  • What is the exact model of this guitar?

  • @bbpro28 its a sunburst 3-single coil pickup Fender Starcaster XDnot HH or HHS its just 3 singlecoils

  • @bbpro28 Fender Starcaster

  • Come on guys! Hendrix's first guitar was a 5 doller acoustic the he bought at a garage sale! You don't need an American stratocaster as a first guitar! As long as you have a something that has all 6 strings and works I say why not? So leave the kid alone! And if you want him to have a better guitar then buy him one! If not the stop bitching and stop watching this video!

    because you don't need a expinsve guiter to be the best.

  • wow man that guitar sounds way better than all those original 60's strats.

  • Fucking retards, starcasters sound really good with a better amp, the one that comes with the kit sucks. If you really have the wish to learn and the talent you can learn to play even with a sucker guitar.

  • i found ways to make this guitar to sound exellent but i been deeply into guitar to the point were i can get any tone i desire plus it was my passion for a long time (trust me i mean long) this guitar can rock!!!

  • starcaster ftw

  • i have the same guitar and color too

  • I have one of these starcasters, its amazing really. people are all jizzhappy over made in america strats and the likes. when all you really need is basic guitar set up knowledge and then a starcaster is as good as a strat any day of any week. Quit being such fickle bitches.

  • my first guitar was a 20th anniversary Squier stratocaster with humbucking pickups i got from my friend for $30. She's still one of my best guitars in my arsenal even thoug i have the extremely expensive VG Stratocaster with a guitar synth that replicates a Tele, Humbucker Jaguar, and Acoustic guitars as well as change tunings. I can still beat Anyones ass with my Squier.

  • good job but paranoid is palm putted and do hammer ons instead

  • omg does anyone know anything about that model lol i have the same one(good guitar btw) but i don't know anything about it look at the head is it not a U.S. guitar?

  • Im Buying 1 And I REALLY Want It. And Why Didnt u use The whammy Bar????

    P.S. I've Been Using My Uncles Stratocaster!!!! Its Great!!!!

  • @natnalexfan11 save up for an epiphone at least i have this guitar and it aint the best.

  • HERE I AM ROCK YOU LIKE A HURRICANE

  • @JustCause2Blog Its Rockin Like A Hurricane.

  • get a new guitar. the sound isnt awesome, the sound isnt awesome compared to my SG.

  • how old were you when you stared to play

  • all of yee are fucking so mean biys he played good so fucking leave him alone yee rich motherfuckers !!!! u rocked fatfingers u also rock for standing up for thi guy!

  • it's a good guitar?

  • Clean tone is very bad, it looks like the strings are very, very old.

    Pickups are not sensitive enough, and they sound too plastic.. 300+ bucks Squiers are much better, definitely.

  • Dude I'm getting one Monday! Your really good keep on rocking!!!

  • I have one of these guitars. they are better than squire.

    To the vid, YOU DONT HAVE A DISTORTION PEDAL. its an O.D. switch on the amp. your holding the pick wrong. you make ALOT of noise when you slide. you keep playing the same notes over and over again. i wasted 2 minutes and 9 seconds of my life watching this crap.

  • What some people don't understand is that cheap guitars can sometimes get certain funky, gritty, or unusual tones which sound perfect for some kinds of music.

    Sounds you just can't get out of $3000 guitar--

    Rock on, kid.

  • how much????

  • is this better than squire or no?

  • @naruto1022 I think they feel the same and play the same but the Starcaster comes with an amp and cable and bag and others and has all that in one box for only 180 dollars while Squires arent even a name brand and the guitar alone would be about $225

  • @chickennuggets143 how about the sound difference?

  • Wow someone actually has the discontinued shark head starcaster...i thought i was the only one left ;D

  • Ahh. My ears =[ Well, first of all. I don't know why I'm watching this 'cause I'm not a Fender fan. But I prefer my Epiphone Les Paul LE with and EMG 81/85 setup. o-o But hey, I'm pretty sure this kid is just starting out, unless I skipped something.

  • well you're waaaay better than me :)

  • Oh I'm definitely going to subscribe to someone who shows off a guitar when he can't play it. I'm going to show off my Hyundai Elantra! Wait, I can't drive!

  • Come on guys! Hendrix's first guitar was a 5 doller acoustic the he bought at a garage sale! You don't need an American stratocaster as a first guitar! As long as you have a something that has all 6 strings and works I say why not? So leave the kid alone! And if you want him to have a better guitar then buy him one! If not the stop bitching and stop watching this video!

  • @fatfingers75 yes, hendrix was also a freak of nature

  • @fatfingers75 lol

  • @fatfingers75 Same here. First guitar I got was a Strat for $50 dollars, which was utter crap. I'm actually currently using this guitar (Starcaster) due to some issues with my Stratocaster.

  • This was the first guitar I had ever got. As a kid I thought it was great, but I really didn't know much about guitars yet. After I got a few more guitars, I started to realize that it sucked ASS! So, what I did was get a Gibson Les Paul Standard, and noticed even more. So, I went in my bedroom one day, tried to play with it, and it busted a fuckin string. So you know what I did? I SMASHED DAT SHIT! I will never use any beginner fenders again.

    Thanks

    P.S. YOU SUCK BIG HARRY BALLS AT GUITAR!

  • when playing paranoid , it sounds much better when you leave your index finger on the 7th fret and hammer the 9th fret strings,,

  • this guys a joke, i bet he always has the pickup selecter at the bridge too lol

  • dude thats not a strat!!!!

    thats a starcaster

    hendrix did not use that guitar!

  • I just got rid of my starcaster for a ESP

    F-50 w/ floyd rose and let me say that starcasters are shit compared to almost any other mediocre guitar, and paranoid sounds a lot better on the 12th fret on the E string

  • jacksons are wayyy better....ha i have this guitar but i use it for target practice

  • The starcaster is the guitar I started with infact not a bad guitar for begginers or even experts.

  • rock you like a hurricane

    that was not bad atall

    but ima have to agree

    Paranoid fail

  • terrible guitar if u want a fender get a proper strat not this shit sounds like dirt and feels it get a proper guitar knob cheese

  • im not a beginnner but this guitar is pretty good. There is some string buzz, but u can fix that. It is good for the price you pay for it

  • wrong bends, learn scales dude, learn to play, but don't post vid's if you can't play the guitar

  • lol paranoid fail.

  • if ur gunna play an awsome song like paranoid be a better guitarist.thats probably the only guitar youve seen in person and its one of the crappiest guitars there is

  • @Daltofrevr crappy guitars are guitars like the fender starcaster acoustic. that guitar is horrible.

  • *goes and buys a pedal*

  • how much does it cost

  • @HighPhoenixStudios Idk but it sounds like a Shitty Distortion one ....

  • Comment removed

  • 1:16 wtf is that ? xD

  • not bad for a beginer

  • ROCK ON!!!!!

  • what pedal?

  • distortion pedal, what most rock,hardrock, and metal songs have

  • i know what one is just sayinfg what model

  • he deosnt suck guys stfu hes proly a begginer or just like me im a begginer and ima get this for 25$ first guitart

  • well then its not a classic like his and its an import

    its a squire and an import

  • sorry dude you need to learn some good songs and play them well before you even do stuff like this... You might make other people think this guitar sucks haha

  • it does...

  • how long have u been playing?

  • No its a newer one by Fender called the Starcaster 15G and it sounds decent.

  • Nice

  • enough powerchords man

  • I had one it was shit but now i have just got a GIBSON SG AND ITS FUCKING AWESOME

  • and u suck at guitar

  • what's the song from 1:55 cuz i can't remember..pls tell me cuz it's an ausome song

  • rock you like the huricane i guess i know is made by the scorpions

  • sounds pretty nice im sold!

  • Nice playing. But the guitar is not that nice. I have the EXACT same one. The same colors and the same head. It sounds ok. But i am looking at new guitars. This one hardley stays in tune either. But anyways. Nice work. :)

  • Lmao thats why ths Star was only in production for like 2 days. Its cool though because fender makes sick ass solid bodies and the Star is a great start if your down with the sound. Cheap as hell, ..like a good cheap dependable whore, just a cheap semi-hollow bodied..tramp if you will

  • Yes, Jimi Hendrix's legendary guitar, the infamous Fender "starcaster".

  • dude that was a " stratocaster " or better know as a " telecaster " in the time ... please do not compare this 200 buck rip off to the legendery tele and strat !! Im not one to say its bad cause i have the same one !! lol..

  • Christ don't you know the meaning of sarcasm? -_-'

  • No, he doesn't but he IS the meaning of irony.

  • @fdsa7777 i thought it was a strat, or are u being sarcastic i couldn't tell

  • I some how got my fender starcaster to sound distortion with no base, a flanger pedal, and by switching that knob it has to change the sounds to the top part. I recomend this guitar. It is a very good guitar.

  • it is i got mine for christmas, and which knob?? lol

  • Fender Starcaster is great for beginners, and does have great quality (if you get the good ones).

    If you really want him to get a Stratocaster, then go ahead and pitch in!

    Hell, I'd like one myself, but the money I have left is for my next 3 years of college.

    So if anyone wants to pitch in, instead of bitch'in, then go ahead!

  • listen many of you people take advantage of cheap guitars, but this guitar is better than most expensive guitars. just use it with a line 6 amp. ive had this guitar for 3 years!

  • i think the starcaster is for beginners too...considering my parents got it for me and ive hardly ever played a guitar

  • Nice. with the distortion you were tryin to play the paranoid right? COOL! :D

  • U CANT CRITICISE IT IF U CANT PLAY IT

  • i am kind of a begginer to guitar,and should i get this guitar or something else,i looking for a guitar with it 120-200$

  • itspretty much a squier just diff pick ups

  • listen to me guy ...... it's a copy of the true fender stratocaster ; your guitar hasn't the true sound ..... please , delete this video cause it's lie !!

  • Comment removed

  • starcasters suck!

  • starcasterz dnt suck!!! u suck bicth get a life y u watchin dis vid if u think starcasterz suck????

  • If nobody else noticed, that was Paranoid and Rock You Like A Hurricane. And I have the same guitar with a black body and maple neck. Its a decent starter, but what I want to get is an Gibson SG

  • anda y asete una paja mejor que por hay tenes mas exito!

  • i have the same guitar as you but in red. you must have a different amp as me because mine doesnt even have a effects peddle input. the guitar sucks. you cant even play pinch harmonics with it.

  • you dont need a pedal input..

    all you do is get one cable, plug it into your pedal, plug the same wire into the same place where you normaly plug your guitar and get a 2nd cable to connect the pedal and guitar.

  • Also, the pedal input is incorrect. You can have FX Loops on the back of the amplifier to put in Modulation effects so they are not affected by the amps gain.

  • That's something to blame on the strings, not the guitar. I have this guitar and I can get some good pinches in.

  • get better.

  • i have the same guitar and it blows nuts. as i learned more about guitars i figured how much it sucked. i hate the sound so much and hopefully i get an Epiphone SG this summer.

  • Les Paul FTW!!

  • BC RICH FTW!!!!!

  • better than squire.

    by the way, you are holding the pick wrong.

  • wow u suck

  • Gr3g251 doesnt know what he's talking about, :P.

    However, theyre not made in the US.

    They might be assembled here but the parts are from asia. I know for a fact, because ive taken apart 3 different starcasters. But still, if theyre set up right, there a great guitar. :]

  • Bud, to start with, most of them are in Korea, and theyre perfect mod guitars, and if theyre set up right, there just as good as Squier strats.

  • wow haha

  • whats the difference between the fender starcaster and the fender stratocaster?

  • The Strat is a beautifully made, professional quality, handmade instrument, using the finest woods and materials. Fenders among the finest electric guitars known to man.

    The Starcaster, however, is a Chinese made Wal-Mart cheapie with a fake-ass Fender sticker on it, that is made and sold cheaply to satisfy Guitar Hero n00bz.

  • ummh u suk no offense practise more i think ur older than me and im a lot better than u lol no offense but OK for a beggingin

  • my amp is the nevada g-10...is overdrive the same as distortion..? i got a yamaha pacifica but i want to go change it for a starcaster

  • What's the song at 0:46? I've heard it before...

  • nice vid man thanks for posting

  • whats better the bullet stratocaster by squier or the starcasterby fender? i dont know what to buy and am a begginer

  • Starcaster

  • thanks

  • starcaster without a doubt.

  • I like the bullet stratocaster head stock better

  • fender is one of the best brands and squiere guitars just suck. my friend has this one and no regrets!

  • um how am i suppose to subscribe if you only have 1 video!

  • Gain not gaun my bad just caught that

  • Dude I have that guitar but next time if you do an demo do something besids power chords....and turn gaun up. The amp that comes with this guitar isnt that bad.

    Btw I have the red one :)

  • DUDE! Learn to play Paranoid before you use it to demo a guitar. and learn to use an amp. even a pice of crap can sound alright. this is terrible.

  • nice

  • uhh you might want to turn up the gain at least if you havent already though. maybe consider on getting a new amp when ur ready?? good try though!

  • might wanna buy a new amp mate.

    just sayin

  • are you australian?

  • wat kinda bootleg headstock is that it looks like patricks head

  • You suck.

  • elitec21 is right, which is why i bought one. the amp is ok not the best but ok

  • bad

  • TABS WERE WRONG ON PARANOID good though

  • Kakva si debilcina neverovatno.....

  • Oh I forgot: If you are playing a pentatonic at 1:06, than you play it completly wrong

  • If there is one thing that is cheaper than that STARcaster, than it is that HORRIBLE amp...

  • yeah seriously

  • What kind of amp are you running it through?

  • A lunchbox with a log of shit inside of it.

  • I had one of these for a short while. I wasn't too crazy about the neck, but I was surprised at how nice the pickups sounded. This is a really nice guitar for beginners, but once you get your hands on a real strat, you'll be astounded.

  • For all people, this is a vintage model. Which was good

  • how mutch is a starcaster?is it more expensiv than a stratocaster?

  • no..God no..don't get the starcaster, save for the stratocaster

  • no, starcaster is cheaper

  • wow, you guys are stupid. Its a vinatge model, they used to be good in the 70's
