@@LaChartreyes. The rest is just an oversized headstock which just looks stupid imo and has no bearing on how it sounds or plays. You can easily make this thing
Cheaper, but also worse fit and finish, worse materials, no treble bleed, a worse feeling bridge when palm muting, and worse stability because it's not hard tail.
Veneer is the term used, the part touching the neck is curved. A slab is when it’s flat so it’s a little thicker. Veneer is a stupid word for it, but it is the term used. I had to google it
I like the idea of a hard tail strat with a single humbucker at the bridge. I am not interested in paying extra for the artist's name. Real "Old School" Fenders are a single piece maple neck where the finger board isn't a slab, it IS the same piece of wood as the neck (needing the routing up the back of the neck to install the truss rod, and the skunk stripe to fill the routing slot). Skunk stripes on attached fretboard necks always look goofy because they are just a decoration.
A buddy of mine bought one. I was not impressed with the fretwork and needed a real setup upon delivery. I also vote to build a partscaster and slap one of these one- dimensional pickups in it. And I'm a big SD fan...
I have an old sea foam green one, and play it almost exclusively, nice simple solid buzz free sound & I like the neck feel too. The volume is a bit in the way as others have stated but overall I'd say very nice for ~$600 not for $1300 though!Mine was a once in a lifetime gift, forever greatful to you Bill and Ida D. I will play it till I can play no more.
That volume knob/pot is in the way for me. I like my controls out of the way like Gibson who always has their controls behind the bridge so it stays out of the way of strumming. I returned a Fender Jim Root Telecaster back in the day cause of this. Charvel used to do the same thing but now are getting them far enough back that's why I play Charvel. I have a 96' Surfcaster(first owner) and a 2023 Pro Mod SoCal style-2 HH HT which rules for a modern 24 fret tele. This is extremely overpriced considering my new Charvel and yhis are made in the same factory. My guitar is loaded with modern ergonomics, Fishman Fluence Open Core pickups and on and on while this is a one trick pony with Delonge's name on it for $1300 while my Charvel is $1000.

What the hell is everyone’s problem? 😢 As Tom said it’s a tool. Of course if you wanna play Hendrix you gonna buy an oldschool strat, if you wanna play jazz then you go for a hollow body tipically. This gitar just not ment to be super versatile and classy. Move on guys, my heart aches , my brain hurts…
For the people saying you can build this guitar for cheaper, good luck with that. People are listing some parts but purposely forgetting the hard tail body, the treble bleed and that specific neck with the 70's styled limited production with the oversized headstock. By the time you're done, you're ending up with around the same price ir double the effort.
I think it's overpriced. I would definitely want one though if it was a lot cheaper. Most of the time I play guitar I only care about volume knob and bridge pickup.
That guy could sell a guitar to a man with no arms or legs. I love his enthusiasm especially when he demo’s the John 5 Ghost Telecaster. Unfortunately hardly anybody can afford it but it’s nice dreaming about it.
Nothing really makes that guitar special. You can build your own for like 400 to 700 dollars depends how fancy you want it. Invader pickup 109 Strat body 250 Bridge 20 to 35 Neck 100 to 400
Rip off..bought a seafoam squire affinity last year and put in an invader..cost little over 300 all in..even went off and got a blink rabbit neck plate made up
@@RikJSmiththe piece on the back that holds the neck to the body. Tom has his own logo on his but the stomping rabbit is blink 182’s first mascot, very cool 🐇

1. Get any cheap partcaster strat
2. Block the trem
3. Put an invader on the bridge
You get a cheaper, more versatile strat
No

@@LaChartrePeople saying you can buy parts and make the guitar for less money have no idea how a signature guitar works and what makes it unique.
Honestly, people can buy similar parts and put them together and it still won't feel or sound the same. It might look the same but that's it
Daphne Blue finish is gorgeous
i'm more of a surf green
@@bon2yan88 Second favorite finish
the knob being in that spot is so nice, idk what fender thought putting the knob so close to the bridge
Being a hardtail …that’s a plus for me🎸
I love that he has range
Squiers going into signatures now cool! That's what I heard about the quility control on these atleast.
Wait, so you're saying that string through body and a rosewood fingerboard makes this guitar special? Damn...it's as special as a squier tele!
Finding a squier tele with rosewood is pretty difficult these days ;) mostly all laurel
Excellent choice of T-shirt Dagan!
It’d be so great if it wasn’t $1200
Value is like $500 tops.
For real! It’s an awesome guitar but wildly overpriced!! You can build a comparable partscaster for WAY less 💵💵!!!
Such a cool guitar 🎸
I like this guitar it's very simple like esquire was when it was released in 1951
I made my own tom delonge strat Squier seafoam green . Change the pickgaurd with one SD invader pickup and there you go.
Bruz! That's a guitar for my collection!
Can't believe this neck is now notable when it used to come on $200 squiers
We need more hard tail strats man
The only thing i like is the pickup🤷🏼♂️
When was there ever a veneer on a fretboard?

I’ll stick to the Fender HSS Strat. The Shawbucker pickup sounds so nice with the Boss Katana MK2.

Awesome short but you forgot the 1970s headstock
Too bad Fender's QC department were on a vacation when these were built.
You see slab fingerboards all the time. What is this dude talking about? All my guitars are slab boards
I've heard they're having quality control issues with this one! Try before you buy!!
It's Purdy 😎

Does your Pro Mod So Cal 2 HH HT have the reverse headstock?
I wish it had black hardware
Snake Oil
I think it's to expensive
Every strat needs a single pickup /solid/ tone ..we need MIDDLE,MIDDLE and MIDDLE
Looks cool, impractical for the money
Don't care
The only thing from Tom Delonge I care about is his flying saucer he's building to contact the aliens
It's real, look it up
Haven’t heard much good about this guitar, especially for the $1300.
Rather have a Jr
Me, too.
I'm interested in ANY guitar with a real rosewood board nowadays. Can we please plant more trees or something
So its a regular strat with one humbucker and 1 knob
I think it’s cool, but I don’t like polyester finish.

Does it have Super Jumbo Frets though? If not it's a waste.
It would have been a good guitar for like $300
Love tom but the trem and the neck pickup is half the appeal of the strat for me
I got mine for $800 and feel
Like I still paid too much lol
Ridiculously expensive guitar
Just ordered mine in surf green tonight.
Its 1400€ and I have non money now till the end of the month but anyways...

@@conordyer2307Except the whole point of a signature model is to look, feel, and sound exactly the same.

Why have a strat without the templo bridge that gives It that beautiful spanky tome, go for a tele instead

What happened to your hairdo bro. I think I just dropped A fudge roll. Take it easy it sounds like you want to marry the guy.
its a 900-1000€ max. guitar, not a 1500€ one.
I still think it’s a baretta 😭😭😭
And frankly, the Baretta looks better, and a lot cheaper, even the souped-up version with the better pickups and trem.
@@carlbaumeister3439 seriously lol
At some point you have to stop calling it a strat.
$1400. For a Mexican stratocaster?

How long did it take to come up with 5 positive things to say about this? This guitar is one step away from being a scam
Go pa and play Henrdix on a real strat. 😂
in my opinion, the fender official video with tom playing it clean sounds horrible.
Well Blink was one of the worst bands of the 90s so that tracks
It's still a rip off a MIM strat for the price of a USA.
That thing is sick way better then the old school strats.hardtail one knob.all business rock
I love mine, it’s pricier than my other guitars but I’ve been after one for ages and I was so glad they re-released this
Ive heard some bad things about this guitar.
whoa! somebody walked through some cobwebs!
Demo
Overpriced basic guitar. Also never have seen a fingerboard that was a veneer.
Blink 182 is bad for your health.
Way overpriced
Looks like a 300 dollars guitar. All these channels must make a buck or two from Fender. How many people will keep paying good money just for a name.
Way overpriced for what it is.
Waaaaaay
I wanna mod it so bad
Way too much money for something that doesn't sound super extraordinary in my opinion
It's stupidly overpriced

I don’t care if that is exactly how the original it is based off was made. You are missing out on the extra $1000 of tone.

Meh
Am I the only one who doesn’t understand the hype for one of these.
Maybe it’s bcse I think blink sucks🤷♂️
I agree. They did/do suck
