The Starforce company/brand was launched in 1988. These medium quality solidbody guitars featured designs based on the original Stratocaster with contemporary features that were common for the 1980s. Electrics were part of the 8000 Series and electric basses were in the 7000 Series. With the introduction of models such as the 8007 with its more original body design, and several bass guitar models, Starforce sought to expand its market niche, but they were only produced for a few years.
