Fender Tom DeLonge Starcaster Semi-hollowbody Guitar - SSG

Fender Tom DeLonge Starcaster Semi-hollowbody Guitar - SSG

Blink-182 and Angels & Airwaves front man Tom DeLonge is an unconventional player. A point exemplified when he defied contemporary wisdom (and his past) by strutting onstage with Fender’s semi-hollowbody Starcaster. Players can now tread a similar path with the Fender Tom DeLonge Starcaster Semi-hollowbody Guitar - SSG. A thin, lightweight laminate maple construction makes this the ideal guitar for contemporary rock and a welcoming choice for solidbody players.. A roasted maple neck provides quintessential Fender playability and comfort. A medium-output ceramic humbucker from Seymour Duncan USA makes for seamless transitions between cleans and crunch tones. Fire up those tractor beams and get ready to reel in Fender’s latest signature invader: the Tom DeLonge Starcaster semi-hollowbody electric guitar.

Lightweight laminate maple provides vibrant tone

This semi-hollowbody electric guitar is made up almost entirely of laminate maple. This time-tested tonewood gives semi-hollowbody guitars like the Tom DeLonge Starcaster smooth tone, balanced sustain, and a mellow attack. These characteristics help the Tom DeLonge Starcaster quickly slot into dense mixes with other instruments, which is why DeLonge favors Starcasters when channeling Angels & Airwaves’ uplifting bombast as well as Blink-182’s mellower numbers.

High-performance hardware and comfortable support

With its bolt-on neck and Modern “C” profile, the Tom DeLonge Starcaster rivals the playability and comfort of any solidbody electric guitar you’ve ever owned! The neck’s roasted maple material lightens the wood and virtually eliminates neck dive. Moreover, roasted maple is incredibly stable and less susceptible to warps or shifts caused by humidity, heat, and other climate factors. The neck is topped with a rosewood fingerboard and paired with premium hardware that supports each string. Locking tuners and adjustable saddles make short work of string changes while allowing for spot-on intonation that’s sure to wow audiences.

No-fuss electronics by Seymour Duncan

Tone tweakers, beware! This guitar’s single-pickup configuration challenges you to do more with less, just like Tom DeLonge has done for decades! The onboard Duncan Custom SH-5 humbucker is carefully voiced for sparkling cleans and robust crunch tones. The SH-5 takes inspiration from vintage PAF architecture and then supercharges that foundation with a hot ceramic magnet that quickly achieves overdrive. The lows are tight, the midrange is heightened for crunchy punch, and the highs are kept airy with an elevated tone that rises above thick distortion. Each SH-5 humbucker is handbuilt in Santa Barbara, California, and features vacuum-wax-potted internals to prevent feedback and hum. A single speed knob provides fuss-free range and usable tones in a jiffy. And while this control scheme is simplified, Fender sweetens its performance with a treble bleed circuit that eliminates high-frequency loss at lower levels.
