Blink - 182's guitarist Tom DeLonge has joined forces with Fender® once more to create an extraordinary electric guitar - the Tom DeLonge Starcaster®. This guitar features an offset semi - hollow body. The Seymour Duncan® SH - 5 Duncan Custom™ humbucker delivers a turbo - charged tone, perfect for chunky power chords and crunchy riffs.

The streamlined control setup, with a single master volume and a treble bleed circuit, keeps the guitar's natural high - end, giving you sparkly clean tones and chime - y edge - of - breakup sounds. The modern 'C' neck is super comfy, with medium jumbo frets on a 12' - radius rosewood fingerboard, offering a modern feel and great playability. Fender locking tuners ensure rock - solid tuning stability, and the fully adjustable bridge with a stop tailpiece gives it a classic look, excellent setup adjustment, and enhanced tuning stability. DeLonge's original signature artwork is on 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 sound or looking for a unique guitar with a big impact, the Tom DeLonge Starcaster is a must - have.

Using the Tom DeLonge Starcaster guitar is straightforward. First, make sure it's properly tuned using the Fender locking tuners. You can adjust the master volume to control the overall sound level, and the treble bleed circuit will help keep those high - end tones nice and clear. When playing, the offset semi - hollow body gives a unique feel and resonance. For power chords and riffs, the Seymour Duncan humbucker will really shine. As for maintenance, keep the guitar in a dry place to avoid damage to the laminated maple body and rosewood fingerboard. Wipe it down after each use to remove sweat and dirt. You can also periodically check the bridge adjustment to make sure it's set up for your playing style. Replace the strings when they start to lose their tone or become worn out. And be careful when handling the headstock with the signature artwork and neck plate to avoid any scratches.
