The Nantel Verdict
The Nantel Verdict
Hollow or semi-hollow construction adding organic resonance and three-dimensional depth. Natural acoustic properties allowing enjoyable unplugged practice. Exceptional recording characteristics capturing richness solid-bodies can't match. A tonal versatility spanning jazz, blues, rock, indie, and beyond.
Roll the tone knob back to 6 and play through a tube amp at moderate gain - the natural resonance of the hollow body adds a woody warmth and depth to your tone that will transform how you experience guitar. That's the sweet spot.
A semi-hollow or hollow guitar delivers warmth and tonal complexity that solid-body instruments simply cannot match. You feel the resonance in your hands and hear it through the amp as a richer, more three-dimensional tone. From Freddie King's blues to Larry Carlton's fusion to Noel Gallagher's anthems, these instruments add soul to every note. It's the kind of guitar that makes you play more musically.

Affinity Series™ Starcaster® Deluxe
The Starcaster® broke the mold of semi-hollow guitar design with its offset body shape when it was introduced in the '70s, offering versatile sound and out-of-this-world styling for the most adventurous players. The Affinity Series™ Starcaster Deluxe features several player-friendly refinements such as a lightweight semi-hollow body, a slim and comfortable “C”-shaped neck with familiar Stratocaster® headstock, an adjustable bridge with stop tailpiece for solid tuning stability and sealed die-cast tuning machines with split shafts for smooth, accurate tuning and easy restringing. Loaded with a pair of Squier humbucking pickups with 3-way switching for genre-defying sonic variety, this model is ready to accompany any player at any stage.Highlights
