The thing is, you can't really get a vintage style Starcaster, well not without buying a vintage one, and you can buy a lot of the other models in some way or another. I get that for a Jag bass for instance, Warmoth does really good work, and the options are there, and so on... However, I can get a version of it for $180 at one of the megabuy places online. But unless you find a custom one off, or make it yourself from scratch, getting a Starcaster body or neck is just not a possibility. So for that reason, I place it ahead of a lot of other ideas on the want list. I also want a thinline Jazzmaster, but that is another topic for another thread.
