DROP A COMMENT: Which Fender guitar will you buy NEXT?
FROM FENDER:
Blink-182 guitarist Tom DeLonge has teamed up with Fender once again to release the Tom DeLonge Stratocaster. This iconic Strat makes a comeback just in time for Blink's reunion tour and the much anticipated release of their latest album.
The Tom DeLonge Stratocaster boasts a Seymour Duncan Invader humbucker for immense output and turbo charged tone that's perfect for chunky power chords and crunchy riffs. But it's not all about power - the streamlined control setup consisting of a single master volume combined with a treble bleed circuit preserves the guitar's natural high end, ensuring sparkly cleans and chimey edge of breakup tones.
The comfy modern "C" neck features medium jumbo frets on a 9.5" radius rosewood fingerboard for a modern feel with superior playability. Other highlights include vintage style tuners and hardtail Stratocaster bridge with block saddles for classic looks, superior intonation and enhanced tuning stability. A custom crafted Tom DeLonge neck plate is decorated with DeLonge's original artwork.
Whether you're a Blink-182 fan looking to bottle the band's signature sound, or simply seeking a unique instrument that packs a knockout punch, the Tom DeLonge Stratocaster is a must have addition to any collection.

I had an original one in high school and sold it. I regretted it ever since. I just ordered another new one after years. I told my self if Tom joined Id go see them and I did. I also said that if he had another strat line I'd get it. He's making me go broke.

@PaulCooksStuff Жыл бұрын
Pretty much in line with other MIM signature models, so no great surprise. Though they churn out 3 pickup American Performer models at that price, it might've been a pleasant surprise if this was USA. The cost savings on 1 pup wiring could pay the artist commission. So it's not overly generous, but pretty much where other mim sigs are. Everybody hopes for something for nothing I guess.

It's amazing people want to just pay soo much money just for it to say made in the USA, when this rig can be or is in some aspects better depending that is on the individual, I've never had an issue out of mim fenders and had a fender rep tell me workers at the usa plant can go on break step out the door, and wave and see the fender Mexican plant, but hey if your fender says made in the USA and YOU WATCHED IT GET BUILT COMPLETELY AND KNOW ANY OF THE PARTS DIDNT COME FROM THE MEXICAN FACTORY THAN HEY I SAY ITS 100% but in all honesty it doesn't matter either way to me, my last mim player series mustang I kept the single coil mustang pickup in front and had the jb sh4 I think it was humbucker put in the bridge, and I loved it way more than the annoying rattling american mustang I had and returned after having it professionally setup and still felt like garbage, could've been that particular guitar, but I've come to see facts if you were to take 2 identical fenders and play them blind folded you wouldn't know which was Mia and which was mim, and if you did it would be subtle differences unless it like the most expensive fenders you can get.

Do you play and trade amps also.? I'm currently using a monoprice Stage right 15w tube amp, but I don't know why I don't see people going after fender bass breaker 15 -30. Which neither of I can afford. I have a few electric guitars and one Breedlove I think was 499$. Won't get rid of anymore Breedlove guitars, they have simply been outstanding especially compared to ppl have problems with expensive ones. So idk how ppl keep getting items to try out , reviews and whatnot and I have asked pretty much every brand. So could you at least compare my amp to a bass breaker 15? Or what point me towards black star id core 40. I had a 20. Didn't fill the room compared to the monoprice Stage right 15/ I guess Harley Benton is the same?

Right, I never post comments on stuff let alone negative comments but I think this guitar is getting far too much praise and Fender and Tom Delonge should seriously be a bit ashamed. This is a made in Mexico strat which are great instruments, I have one myself but they cost £679. An invader pickup can be bought for £126. A new pickguard can be bought for no more than £10. A mono gig bag can be bought for £150. I've had pickups installed and routing on guitars for £50 by my local guitar tech. That brings the cost to £1015 and that's with an expensive gig bag that you don't necessarily need to buy. This is far too overpriced for what it is. I love Blink 182 and this has nothing to do with Tom Delonge as a person. But if you're a band with a punk attitude charging £1300 for a simple guitar like this is a joke. If he genuinely wanted to make a guitar for people with a punk attitude and new players who want to follow in his footsteps he and fender would make it a more reasonable price. Look at the Ed O'brien from Radiohead signature fender strat!!! It's Made in Mexico! It has a sustainiac neck pickup, a custom shop texas special in the middle and a seymour duncan JB junior in the bridge!!!!! And includes a gig bag for guess how much?? That's right £1,050!!!!!!! Ed O'brien made this guitar for young players who want to be able to play like him and actually make a quality instrument at a correct price. He made this instrument with genuine care for the consumer. This on the other hand is a SHAMELESS CASH GRAB. This has nothing to do with love of fans, this is a way of making a shit tonne of money off a guitar that isn't worth it
