You presently have the Squier HSS, right? I've seen these on Ebay a lot, and they seem priced lower than Squiers. I took them to be slightly lower end than a Squier, but that's total guessing, not dissing your purchase!!! (I already posted this once, then deleted it, 'cause that ain't right! :) )

Anywho, I am big on cheap guitars, because I believe most Big Name Brand's are over priced. Les Paul reissues at $4 - 5k... It cost $50 for a chunk of 2" mahogany sized for a body for frig sakes. Well, don't get me going! I will be really interested to hear what you think of this Starcaster.
