Please provide pictures so we may speculate and form opinions with ease.

I do play guitar. I own a Gibson Les Paul and I play various genres. Such as Steve Vai, Led Zeppelin and Iron Maiden.

Why did that sound so much like an advertisement.

Nah, there's an actual starcaster model, it's a semi hollow, they're just not very common or well used and known, but there are starcaster stratocasters

Nice one... As for me I play whatever I like.... I started out playing stuff like Nirvana, or Oasis, Ramones etc... I've moved onto learning proper scales and metal (Particularly Megadeth).

I own a Jackson, the Kelly series:

I had a Starcaster, but I left it in my basement too long, the neck is bowed among other things and I'm too lazy to fix it. I've been playing on my acoustic, which is actually a lot more fun it seems.

Heck Yes! I play on a fender stratocaster. Ill play almost anything on guitar except for scream and hardcore metal. I truly hate that kind of music with a grudge. That music is the Antichrist in my world. *goes and busts out playing Pinball Wizard*

Alright, if your so great, let's hear you play. And I don't have a Les Paul, dumbass. There isn't just Fender Strats (or in your case, Starcasters) and Les Pauls. Les Pauls are too expensive and are overrated. There are cheaper but still great guitars, like P.R.S., or even Fenders, since they don't cost that much (though I can't afford one).

oh and how long have you been playing?

I disagree. They sound decent, they're still Fenders. The only problems I have with mine right now is something that would have happened with any guitar if you treated it like I did.

..omfg. I didn't say I couldn't afford a guitar. Your guitar costs (I think) $200. A (good) Les Paul costs about $2000. And the guitar I have costs about $300. And wtf your assumption? Dumbass. What can you even play?

Are you guys really gonna let anonymous text get in the way of life and the the way you play your guitars? To be honest, I started playing crappy guitars with stiff strings on purpose, makes later experiences a whole lot better and enhances your fingering. At least thats what happened to me. I play fine. Your acting so tight, like the internet's gonna kill you.

A good Les Paul costs $1000 I'm pretty sure. And my friend got a refurbished one for $550, it sounds just as good.

Yeah, I know, sometimes a meh guitar can help you get better, but at least your guitar was an Epiphone. I mean they don't even sell those starcasters on guitar center's website because they suck so much ass, and this guy comes in here like he's a guitar god, telling everyone he's better than them.

oh and missing first string? lol buy some new strings?

Indeed... but still... it all depends on your skill.Rory Gallagher played the same weather worn guitar throughout his career, and he was the best blues guitarist beside Robert Johnson.It would be advised that you get a better guitar, but it dosn't matter so much.

Not that I'm saying he's good.We still need proof.

does anyone here know if stratocasters are good for playing music by bands like led zep, gnr, aerosmith, and the likes? I actually heard that ibanez and epiphones are nice for that kind of music.

They are yes... Jimi Hendrix used a stratocaster.Just because Slash and Jimmy Page used a Gibson dosn't mean you can't play it with a strat.
