They Stopped Selling the Tom Delonge model!

[strat_master]

I really want a tom delonge strat but they disonctinued it for thaT UGLY gibson hollybody of his now. Do any stores near you sell this gutar at all guys? And i really like the single volume knob so i AM not going to buya strat and add an invader because it only wat one pick up, otehrwsie iw ould just use my strat with a hot rail.

I would suggest either keeping an eye on Ebay, or building a Warmoth version.

Re: They Stopped Selling the Tom Delonge model!

buy a fat strat, an invader, a warmoth pickgaurd and rewire it. is his name really that important?

Fat strat: $400
Invader: $75
Pickgaurd: $30
Rewiring: $5 (solder... thats pretty much all you'll have to pay for...)
Total: $510

I bought one before they stopped selling it. Sold the pickguard assembly for $105 at ebay. God new pickguard and dropped JB with 250K pot. I get very "in-your-face" tone.

The stock pickguard was white pearl which looks very cheap in person. I got pearloid which is little bit more creme-ish and vintage-ish. They all look alike on picture though. I get it from Warmoth.

Get a MIM Robert Cray and route the bridge for a humbucker if you want a cheap hardtail.

Re: They Stopped Selling the Tom Delonge model!

I love the tom delonge strat too, some people dont like the lack of versatility, but ive always prefered simple set-ups, and i reckon strats look sooo cool with just oen pup and single knob, so uncluttered and modern looking. They did some nice colours too, the surf greeny one and the graffiti yellow would stand out really nice on stage. It was pretty reasonably priced aswell, kinda wish i got one too just before they stopped them, espcially since ive fallen in love with my invader pup in my ibanez.

Re: They Stopped Selling the Tom Delonge model!

I would opt for a fat strat rewired and with a new pickguard. The wiring should be relatively simple compared with others considering that theres no tone or selecter switch. It sounds fun, go 4 it!

Re: They Stopped Selling the Tom Delonge model!

Re: They Stopped Selling the Tom Delonge model!

I'd build one personally. That way I could get the neck the way I wanted it. Plus you get to choose your color
