Fender Tom DeLonge Signature Starcaster
GuitarsFender just revealed the line of Blink 182’s Tom DeLonge signature Starcaster guitars, and wow, I’m relieved that custom one he got with actual meteor dust in the finish isn’t one of the styles to be honest. As a rather recent appreciator of the offset starcaster shape, I’m super glad to see them launched.
These semi-hollow bodies are available in Olympic White, Surf Green, Shoreline Gold and Shell Pink and as with his famed DeLonge strat you get a single pickup in the bridge position, a Seymour Duncan SH-5 Custom humbucker to be precise. You also only get one knob (master volume) combined with a treble bleed circuit. Neck-wise it’s a roasted maple modern C-shape one, then a rosewood fretboard with dot inlays and medium jumbo frets and 12″ radius. The back of the body shows a custom Tom DeLonge neck plate as well featuring Tom’s own artwork
Other specs include Fender locking tuners, custom crafted neck plate and signature headstock decal with Tom’s own artwork.
The Tom DeLonge Starcasters are available at Fender.com ($1,199) or Sweetwater ($1,199)
