Fender Tom DeLonge Starcaster In Satin Shoreline Gold

Introduction

Tom DeLonge might be known for his unique singing voice, but there’s no denying that his taste in guitars is pretty special too. The Blink-182 / Angels Airwaves guitarist has once again teamed up with Fender to bring a slick pop-punk-flavoured offset semi-hollow to the masses: introducing the Tom DeLonge Starcaster.

• Riff-ready Seymour Duncan pickup– A single bridge pickup means the quickest route to crisp, punchy, attention-grabbing punk rock riffage.
• Roasted Maple neck– A great-feeling neck that looks the part, complemented by an ultra-comfy modern C profile.
• Satin finish with DeLonge artwork – A smooth pastel colour scheme meets subtly-placed artwork from Tom himself on the back of the body headstock.

Body Neck

DeLonge’s Starcaster starts off with a sparkling treble and mid-focused laminated Maple body, semi-hollow with a center block. This offset shape is complemented by a Roasted Maple neck with a modern C profile, featuring medium jumbo frets and a lush Rosewood fingerboard for a modern feel with superior playability.

Adorned with a smooth satin urethane finish and DeLonges original signature artwork on the back of the headstock, this particular Starcaster is a punchy no-frills riff machine that oozes attitude without compromising that great Fender feel!

Electronics Hardware

Expect turbo-charged tone fit for endless power chords and riffs galore, courtesy of a single Seymour Duncan SH-5 Duncan Custom humbucker. Not a fan of overthinking things, DeLonge has opted for a simple master volume control and treble bleed circuit, preserving the guitars natural high-end and playing real nice with a bit of crunch.

Finally, a fully adjustable bridge with stop tailpiece brings classic looks, superior setup adjustment, and excellent tuning stability. For a less-is-more guitar, this thing brings plenty of performance to the table – all you need to do is focus on the rock show.
