A downsized Mooncaster body shape

Basically a smaller Mooncaster body about the size of a Strat.

See Paul Languedoc's guitar for an example. It is different from the VIP body.

I was under the impression that the Mooncaster body is relatively small already?

Yea, it's smaller than a standard starcaster.  There's one in this month's GOM and you can see that it's not super large.

Here are some reported Starcaster dimensions.

Reported Strat dimensions

Mooncaster, smaller than a starcaster but by how much?  I don't have one.

Wow, I looked at the GOM list and it is definitely smaller than a Starcaster.

I never realized that; I had thought it was a very close copy.
