Customizing Squier Affinity Series Starcaster (Inspired by Tom DeLonge)

[@timelwell7002]

Great minds think alike. I'm considering buying a Squier Affinity Starcaster and replacing the neck pickup with a Seymour Duncan Seth Lover humbucker. Nice one..!

[@p-01band]

Thank you so much! I’d definitely recommend it

[@TheUnknownReject]

Oh man, loosing that stock neck with that headstock is a shame

[@p-01band]

Considered just keeping it on, but just wasn’t the look I was going for

[@ShaneBryson]

A standard size neck cannot intonate on a Starcaster body. Your guitar will always be out of tune above the 12th fret. You’d need a custom neck made for that guitar for it to actually work.

@@ShaneBrysoninteresting, luckily I’m not good enough to be playing anything above the 12th fret. Thanks for the input tho

[@CemlynGriffiths]

​@p-01official the scale length is the same on both the pacifica and the starcaster. You'll be fine in terms of intonation. Maybe see about setting the neck correctly in to the pocket. Take it to a shop for a set up and you should be golden. I agree shame about the loss of the headstock but hey if it makes you happy, that's all that matters!

@@CemlynGriffithsthank you very much, and thanks for the suggestion!

Glad i waited theyre about to release an affinity starcaster with a 70s style strat headstock. In white and with rose wood neck!

I hope they make squier version of his starcaster and Stratocaster. Great custom build

[@p-01band]

I hope so too, and thank you!

@@p-01band The new Squier Affinity Deluxe is coming out in White and Cherry with a Stratocaster headstock. Reminds me of the Tom DeLonge Starcaster

[@wr1039]

This is def the way to go. Cant justify $1k + on the sig model

[@thebipolarbear1]

A affinity Stratocaster neck would be perfect
