Blink-182's guitarist Tom DeLonge has joined forces with Fender® again to create the Tom DeLonge Starcaster®, a truly out - of - this - world electric guitar. With an offset semi - hollow body, it's equipped with a Seymour Duncan® SH - 5 Duncan Custom™ humbucker. This pickup delivers a turbo - charged tone that's ideal for chunky power chords and crunchy riffs. But it's not just about brute force. The streamlined control setup, a single master volume combined with a treble bleed circuit, preserves the guitar's natural high - end, giving you sparkly cleans and chime - y tones on the verge of breakup. The modern 'C' neck is made of roasted maple and has medium jumbo frets on a 12' - radius rosewood fingerboard, offering a modern feel and great playability. Other great features include Fender locking tuners for rock - solid tuning stability and a fully adjustable bridge with a stop tailpiece, which not only looks classic but also provides excellent setup adjustment and enhanced tuning stability. DeLonge's original signature artwork adorns the back of the headstock and the custom - crafted neck plate. Whether you're a die - hard Blink - 182 fan wanting to capture the band's signature sound or just looking for a unique guitar that packs a punch, the Tom DeLonge Starcaster is a must - have for your collection.

Using the Tom DeLonge Starcaster is a breeze. First, tune your guitar using the Fender locking tuners. They're really stable, so you won't have to worry about your guitar going out of tune easily. Plug it into an amplifier, adjust the master volume to your desired level. The treble bleed circuit helps keep the high - end tones clear. You can play all kinds of music with it, from chunky power chords to crunchy riffs. When it comes to maintenance, keep your guitar in a dry place to prevent the wood from warping. Wipe it down with a clean, dry cloth after each use to remove any sweat or dirt. You might want to change the strings every few months, depending on how often you play. If you need to adjust the action or intonation, you can use the fully adjustable bridge. And always be gentle with the neck and the headstock, as they have the custom artwork and neck plate that are part of the guitar's charm.
