Description
Instruments previously produced in Korea. Initially exported by Tropical Music of Miami, Florida prior to their purchase of the Dean company. The Starforce company was started in 1988. These medium quality solid body guitars feature designs based on the original Stratocaster, as well as the super strat. With the introduction of models such as the 8007 with its more original body design, and several bass guitar models, Starforce seeks to expand its market niche, but apparently isn't producing any guitars at this moment, (Source: Tony Bacon, The Ultimate Guitar Book). I discovered that Tropical Music of Miami is now Tropical Music Export Enterprises, Inc.(www.tropicalmusic.com) and still located in Miami. I talked at length with their manager who told me that to the best of his knowledge there were four models produced; the 8000, 8002, 8004 and 8007. All of which (that he could remember) had solid maple bodies and necks. The company only serves Central America, South America, the Caribbean, & the B.W.I. so these guitars were never directly sold in the U.S.. He says that Tropical music has not had a contract with Starforce for quite a few years and that they would not have any records from that far back.
