I don't know how much demand there is for these. I kinda like the Starcaster look, although I'm not sure about the phallic headstock.

 

The Coronado looks like the type of semi that a hipster would freak over, and I don't really mean that in a bad way. They might be really cool.

I think the guitarist in The Killers plays a Starcaster. From the live DVDs I've seen, he gets a great chime from his. I'll look into those.

 

Indeed he does and I think thats where Foonky Steve got his hots from.

 

has anybody seem him lately?

 

FS that is, not the guitarist from the Killers

Aha, so that's what it was!

Friday night I went to see Steely Dan here in Houston (great show!) and on one song (don't remember which ... lotsa beer and 'other stuff') Walter Becker hauled out a funky looking semi-hollow with that curvy side stripe headstock.  I was a ways back, so I couldn't really figure what it was, but that pic now tells me it's a Starcaster.  I didn't notice if it was a new one (4 knobs) or an oldie (5 knobs).

Could've been a Bilt Zaftig.
