Mooncaster is Warmouth's name to avoid trademark issues with Fender.
Starcaster is the proper Fender name (confused by a student version of the Strat sold as "Starcaster" from around '01-'14) for the original from the '70s.
It has been reintroduced to production as an Indonesian model but with the Fender name rather than Squier:

Factory parts should be available from Fender, however, if your model is one of the originals from the late '70s, your pickup mounting rings are larger and will not fit the current production cutouts.
Compounding this issue is that, unlike the Gibson 335, the original pickguard rested ON the pickup mounting rings, rather than on the body around the rings...
