QTY:

Over 20 years ago, Fender teamed with Tom DeLonge to produce a signature series of now much-sought-after single-pickup Strats. A few bands and Blink-182 reunions later, Fender is proud to (re)launch the Fender Tom DeLonge Stratocaster: that very same guitar and the instrument that defined much of Blink-182’s most revered riffs. From the single volume knob to the alder body’s string-through hardtail bridge, every facet of the Fender Tom DeLonge Stratocaster is primed to take the most exuberant down-stroked power-chord beatings without breaking a sweat. And just like the original, the Fender Tom DeLonge Stratocaster comes complete with a single high-power Seymour Duncan Invader SH-8 pickup — a no-brainer for Blink-182-style pop-punk crunch but also more than versatile enough to cover the subtler, effect-laden textures of Tom’s later works. Lastly, the Fender Tom DeLonge Stratocaster comes complete with all the small things that made the original such a unique instrument, including several high-energy pastel finishes, a sparkling pearloid pickguard, and a large ’70s-style headstock atop the rosewood-capped maple neck.

Fender Tom DeLonge Stratocaster at a Glance:

  • Seymour Duncan® Invader™ Humbucker
  • Master Volume with Treble Bleed Circuit
  • Hardtail Stratocaster® Bridge with Block Saddles
  • Maple Modern “C” Neck
  • 9.5” Radius Slab Rosewood Fingerboard with Medium Jumbo Frets
  • Custom Tom DeLonge Neck Plate

Seymour Duncan SH-8 humbucker provides pop-punk crunch

Tom’s tonal preference for Seymour Duncan’s Invader 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 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 Music Experience 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.

    What Fender Says...

    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

    The turbo-charged tone and immense output of the Tom DeLonge Stratocaster® come courtesy of the single Seymour Duncan® Invader™ humbucker.

    Master Volume with Treble Bleed Circuit

    For maximum tone and minimal fuss, Tom’s streamlined Strat® comes equipped with one lone master volume control. With the volume backed off, the treble bleed circuit preserves your natural high-end, simply roll your volume down for sparkly cleans and chime-y edge-of-breakup tones.

    Hardtail Stratocaster® Bridge with Block Saddles

    For a classic look, superior intonation and enhanced tuning stability, this guitar features a string-through-body hard-tail Stratocaster® bridge with block saddles.

    Maple Modern “C” Neck

    9.5” Radius Slab Rosewood Fingerboard with Medium Jumbo Frets

    The slab rosewood fingerboard adds warmth to the tone while the medium jumbo frets and 9.5" radius provide a modern feel with superior playability.

    The neck plate is decorated with DeLonge’s original artwork.
