Blink-182 guitarist Tom DeLonge has teamed up with Fender once again to release The Tom DeLonge Stratocaster. This iconic Strat makes a comeback just in time for Blink's reunion tour and the much-anticipated release of their latest album.

The Tom DeLonge Stratocaster boasts a Seymour Duncan Invader humbucker for immense output and turbo-charged tone that's perfect for chunky power chords and crunchy riffs. But it's not all about power - the streamlined control setup consisting of a single master volume combined with a treble bleed circuit preserves the guitar's natural high-end, ensuring sparkly cleans and chime-y edge-of-breakup tones. The comfy modern 'C' neck features medium jumbo frets on a 9.5' radius rosewood fingerboard for a modern feel with superior playability. Other highlights include vintage-style tuners and hardtail Stratocaster bridge with block saddles for classic looks, superior intonation and enhanced tuning stability. A custom crafted Tom DeLonge neck plate is decorated with DeLonge's original artwork.

Whether you're a Blink-182 fan looking to bottle the band's signature sound, or simply seeking a unique instrument that packs a knockout punch, the Tom DeLonge Stratocaster is a must-have addition to any collection.

Seymour Duncan Invader humbucker provides pop-punk crunch

Tom’s tonal preference for Seymour Duncan’s SH-8 pickups stretches all the way back to his fan-favorite 'Sticker Strat,' which was used on much of Blink-182’s earliest output. The Fender Tom DeLonge Stratocaster carries on that tradition with a single bridge-position Seymour Duncan Invader SH-8 humbucker to kick out everything from raucous pop-punk power chord rhythms to the more subtle sonic textures Tom explores with Angels & Airwaves. It’s a decidedly high-power humbucker, packing three large ceramic magnets, overwound coils, and distinctive metal oxide pole pieces that give you an immense low-end response — perfect for snarling riffs and pop-punk style crunchy chords.

Hardtail bridge for superior stability

A rock-solid 6-saddle, string-through hardtail bridge with block saddles takes the Tom DeLonge Stratocaster’s utilitarian bent even further, forgoing the Strat’s traditional setup for maximum stability. This heavy-duty bridge design accommodates even the most hard-hitting strumming without batting an eye. What’s more, many Sweetwater guitarists praise hardtail Strat designs for their superior sustain and enhanced string-to-body resonance, making it an excellent alternative for players who don’t require a tremolo system.

High-performance Modern 'C' neck profile

The Fender Tom DeLonge Stratocaster’s maple neck comes equipped with a slim and fast-playing Modern 'C' profile that’s sure to please players of all backgrounds and styles. It’s an ideal crossroads between the chunky Fender neck profiles of yesteryear and modern ultra-high-performance toothpick profiles, giving you a perfect grip that precisely hits the 'just-right' mark for many modern players. The slab rosewood fingerboard is loaded with an equally accommodating setup of 21 medium-jumbo frets in a 9.5-inch radius — a formidable combo that provides effortless chording at the base of the neck and an equally comfortable feel when bending up high.
