I am looking for a first strat for our youngest and found a Fender Starcaster SP10 on the Tesco website. Strangely this strat is not marked Squier but Fender and seems very good value. The normal Starcaster model is a very different beast ! The model is not mentioned anywhere on the Fender website and after years of multiple strat ownership I have never come across one. Grateful for any info

The Starcaster in the US was originally a "Warehouse Store" - Sam's - Costco - beginners set consisting of electric or electric/acoustic guitar, amp, guitar stand, strap, picks and instruction books/DVD. Most inexpensive starter set on the market at about $165 in-store price when new. The Electric guitar is sub-Squier in quality IMO. (I had to fix up a used Starcaster at one time for a young person.) The amp and accessories are basically the same as found in the Squier Starter set.

If it is inexpensive enough it can be a good buy to get someone started in music, otherwise opt for the Squier set if the price is close. I just checked the price at Tesco - is the Squier starter set much higher?
