History:
Purchase: Blink 182 has been my favorite band for as long as I can remeber, and Tom DeLonge has been my hero as long as I can remember. When I read in my favorite guitar maizine that Fender was going to mass produce his guitar I was pumped. I went to Guitar Center and bought the guitar for 375$. I knew the dude there and he knew new my band so he gave me a discount.
What I Like About This Unit: I love the fact that when played (not only in a Mesa Boogie) it sounds remarkably like Tom playing. The Seymore Duncan humbucker is the single best pickup I've ever used in my life. The Alder body is totally durable too, when i play shows it gets knocked around pretty good but it's help up really well.
What I Do NOT Like About The Fender Tom DeLonge Stratocaster: Really I have no complaints. It's the perfect guitar for what I do. The tuner is the only part I would change but like I said no complaints.
Tom DeLonge Stratocaster Quality: I don't go around bashing my guitar on stage like some guitar players we all know *cough* Good Charlotte *cough* so I wouldn't know if it would stand up to that, but, so far it's help up better that any guitar I've had.
Summary: I love this guitar and like Isaid before It's perfect for what I do. I just want the inlays that Tom has on his. :P
