Blink-182's guitarist Tom DeLonge has once again joined forces with Fender to bring back the legendary Tom DeLonge Stratocaster®. Just in time for Blink's reunion tour and their highly-anticipated new album, this guitar is a true gem. The Tom DeLonge Stratocaster comes with a Seymour Duncan® Invader™ humbucker, delivering massive output and a turbo-charged tone. It's ideal for chunky power chords and crunchy riffs. But it's not just about raw power. The streamlined control setup, with a single master volume and a treble bleed circuit, preserves the guitar's natural high-end, giving you sparkly cleans and chime-y breakup tones. The comfortable modern 'C' neck has medium jumbo frets on a 9.5' radius rosewood fingerboard, offering a modern feel and great playability. Other cool features include vintage-style tuners and a hardtail Stratocaster bridge with block saddles for classic looks, perfect intonation, and stable tuning. There's also a custom Tom DeLonge neck plate with his original artwork. Whether you're a die-hard Blink-182 fan wanting to capture the band's signature sound or just looking for a unique and powerful instrument, the Tom DeLonge Stratocaster is a must-have for any guitar collection.

Using your Tom DeLonge Stratocaster is easy. First, plug it into an amplifier using a standard instrument cable. Adjust the master volume to get the right sound level. You can play around with the tone settings to find your favorite sound. For chunky power chords and crunchy riffs, the Seymour Duncan® Invader™ humbucker will give you a great sound. When it comes to maintenance, keep your guitar clean. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the body, neck, and strings after each use. This helps prevent dirt and sweat from building up. Check the tuning regularly, especially before you play. The vintage-style tuners are pretty reliable, but it's always good to make sure. If you need to change the strings, use the Fender® USA 250R Nickel Plated Steel strings that come with the guitar. Make sure to follow the correct stringing process. Also, store your guitar in the deluxe gig bag when you're not using it. This protects it from scratches and other damage. Avoid exposing the guitar to extreme temperatures and humidity, as this can affect the wood and the electronics. With proper care, your Tom DeLonge Stratocaster will last you a long time and keep sounding great.
