Fender Tom DeLonge Starcaster Satin Surf Green
Electric Guitar
Blink-182 guitarist Tom DeLonge has teamed up with Fender® once again to design a truly otherworldly phenomenon - the Tom DeLonge Starcaster®.
Designed with an offset semi-hollow body, the Tom DeLonge Starcaster boasts a Seymour Duncan® SH-5 Duncan Custom™ humbucker for 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 chime-y edge-of-breakup tones. The comfy modern "C" neck features medium jumbo frets on a 12"-radius rosewood fingerboard for a modern feel with superior playability. Other highlights include Fender locking tuners for rock-solid tuning stability and fully adjustable bridge with stop tailpiece for classic looks, superior setup adjustment and enhanced tuning stability. DeLonge’s original signature artwork is featured on the back of the headstock and custom crafted neck plate.
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 Starcaster is a must-have addition to any collection.
FEATURES
-
USA Duncan Custom™ Humbucker
Hand-built in the Seymour Duncan California factory, the SH-5 Duncan Custom has tight lows, a bump in the upper midrange for added character and crunch, and an airy high end that cuts through heavy distortion but is also great for achieving crystal-clear clean tones. -
Master Volume With Treble Bleed Circuit
For maximum tone and minimal fuss, Tom’s Starcaster® comes equipped with a lone master volume control. With the volume backed off, the treble bleed circuit preserves the natural high-end. Simply roll your volume down for sparkly cleans and chime-y edge-of-breakup tones. -
Roasted Maple Modern "C" Neck
Crafted with roasted maple for optimal stability and resonance, this neck features a modern “C” shape - a supremely comfortable rounded profile that works well with almost any playing style. -
Center Block Semi-Hollow Body
With this design, a wood block runs down the center of the body to enhance attack and articulation while the open-air cavities in the body’s “wings” increase resonance and tonal depth. -
Custom Tom Delonge Neck Plate
The neck plate is engraved with DeLonge’s original artwork. -
Locking Tuning Machines
With staggered posts for optimal break angle on each string, these locking tuning machines provide supreme tuning stability and smooth action while making string changes a breeze.
