Review Fender Tom Delonge Stratocaster
 
 
 

Review by a visitor on 14.10.2004




Well I`m from holland, so I quess it does`nt matter where I bought it.
I paid 720 euro`s for it and I have it for about 2 years now.

 
 
  Features  
 
Nothing much, no complains. Just an awesome sounding pickup, nice color
 
 
 
  Playability  
 
Just as good as any Mexican Fender. Compaired to my Fender Jaguar, I think this one has a nicer neck
 
 
 
  Quality  
 
Again it`s loud, good neck.
 
 
 
  Durability  
 
No problems, no buzzes or whatever. Everithing is still as it was when I bought it. I`ve only changed the strings to a set of 010`s. And I`m pretty sure it`ll survive some of the trashing like Tom does, good enough for live gigs `cause it`s LOUD
 
 
 
  Overall  
 
Well it`s perfect for someone who doesn`t like knobs (like me).
It`s great for some good old punkrock trashing.
I bought it `cause I`m a fan, it was cheap to next to those other signature serie`s

I Bought it from Helsinkinulls Fazer Music, from Finland. It did Cost 479euros.

 
 
  Features  
 
I think this guitar looks great, sounds awesome, and it has even enough clearity for solos, and its having one pretty strong pickup. Id like to try put Tomnulls new gibsonnulls dirty finger-pickup to this fender, to get even more power and sound to this shit. Great guitar, easy to play. I recommend.
 
 
 
  Playability  
 
Easy to play, nice frets, and with ernie ballnulls skinny top/heavy bottoms, just an awesome guitar to shit with.
 
 
 
  Quality  
 
Paint is great, everything fitts. No complaining.
 
 
 
  Durability  
 
Requires some tuning every once in a while. Its great for gigging, and great for home partys.
 
 
 
  Overall  
 
imo, best guitar inullve played. Im not so into dozens of knobs and stuff, this is easy, and good-sounding peace on gold. I actually made black plastic to this polar-white model, so it looks pretty unique. Gotta love this.

Musicians Friend, $549.00

I bought this guitar in June I beleive it was. The color was sea foam green. Pearl pick guard.

 
 
  Features  
 
This is a badass looking guitar. Plain and simple. It has a single volume knob. This is the only knob or switch on the guitar. Simple, huh? There is a double coil Seymour-Duncan Invader Humbucker. It sounds very clean. The pickguard covers almost the entire front of the guitar but it looks good none the less. As I have said in previous reviews, I am a fan of pickguards. The Delonge Strat comes in a variety of colors there is a baby blue color that looks awesome. Yellow looks good, too. The plate on the back where the neck bolts are have Tom Delonge engraved in it.
 
 
 
  Playability  
 
This guitar is farily light. The other features on the guitar allow you to play easily. As I have said there is not too many features, but it still is a good guitar to play. This guitar will probably best suite a pop punk genre much like Mr. Delonge plays him self. Only makes since.
 
 
 
  Quality  
 
Fabulous sound quality. Clean and Clear. No effects just the volume knob. I would rate this as one of Fendernulls elite guitars. I just kicks the other strats in the ass.
 
 
 
  Durability  
 
The guitar is not for someone who gets frusterated with tuning. It gets out of tune easily and needs adjusting every few times you play it. Other than that, the rest of the guitar holds up nicely. The pickup doesnnullt have any feedback at all. I was pleasantly surprised. Other fenders usually have a buzz to them.
 
 
 
  Overall  
 
I am a Blink-182 fan so I was immediatly attracted to it. But even if I werennullt a fan I think I still would have bought it. When I say it kicks the other strats asses that is just my opinion. So try this guitar before you buy. It is a worthwhile investment.
