Members MyEmergency Posted November 20, 2010 Members Share Posted November 20, 2010 Got me a Fender Tom Delonge Deluxe strat...... I don't care what anyone says about these, these sound awesome and feel even better... not insanely versatile but for me all I use is the bridge pickup anyways, so it works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zantor9 Posted November 20, 2010 Members Share Posted November 20, 2010 HNGD!!!! Is that an SD Invader pup?? I love me some Invaders I am also an only-bridge-pup kind of guy so that tone would be killer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Tubefox Posted November 20, 2010 Members Share Posted November 20, 2010 HNGD! I've never seen these before. I have to say, when I say "stratocaster," I was not expecting to scroll down and see one humbucker and no tone knobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say, when I say "stratocaster," I was not expecting to scroll down and see one humbucker and no tone knobs. well I assume they call it a strat because of the overrall shape of the guitar although I am thinking about switching it up and making it a double fat strat in the near future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's interesting to see Fender actually doing something fairly different, rather than their current strategy: "This is a stratocaster.""This is a cheap stratocaster for beginners.""This is a nice stratocaster.""This is a very nice stratocaster.""This is a stratocaster with a humbucker instead of one of the pickups.""This is Yngwie's retarded all-scalloped stratocaster for douchebags." While admittedly a minor difference, it's actually pretty surprising from a company where 90% of their models are indistinguishable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care for fender much and this guitar changes my mind of them The Jim Root MIA Strat is cool too. Also i'll bet you could get along great with Reignman after seeing that Yngwie comment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members tiltsta Posted November 20, 2010 Members Share Posted November 20, 2010 Cool. I always wanted one in graffiti yellow. I like the idea of a strat with a single, smoking hot humbucker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Brian Krashpad Posted November 20, 2010 Members Share Posted November 20, 2010 Congrats! (o)(o) I recently picked up the Squier version, but specifically to re-sell. I need a neck pup, or at least a tone control for the bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MyEmergency Posted November 21, 2010 Author Members Share Posted November 21, 2010 I traded a Gibson SG Faded for it and I have zero regrets, it sounds better and plays better, plus I am partial to the 25.5 scale of the fenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MyEmergency Posted November 21, 2010 Author Members Share Posted November 21, 2010 ^WOW What is the route on these? I'm almost positive is H/S/H I opened one up a few years ago, this is actually the third one of these I have had since they came out, I have owned the seafoam green one, the graffiti yellow one and now the black one, the yellow one was really sharp looking, I bought it and sold it back when they were making these new, I regret doing it now....
