Description
The Tom DeLonge Starcaster from Fender is designed to deliver the powerful sound and fast-playing feel favored by the legendary Blink-182 guitarist. Boasting an offset semi-hollowbody, it produces a balanced tone that works for both chunky rhythm playing and expressive lead work. At the heart of the Starcaster’s sound is a Seymour Duncan SH-5 Duncan Custom humbucker, which provides high output for overdriven tones that cut through.
Streamlined Controls Offer Versatile Tone Shaping
While the Starcaster has a simple control setup with just a master volume control, a treble bleed circuit helps preserve the natural brightness of the guitar. This allows you to achieve anything from sparkling cleans to an aggressive edge-of-breakup tone. The treble bleed circuit ensures your tone never gets muddy, no matter how much you push the volume.
Fast-Playing Neck Built for Speed
The Starcaster’s modern C-shaped neck has been designed with comfort and playability in mind. It features medium-jumbo frets and a 12″ radius rosewood fingerboard, which provides a smooth playing surface for fast runs and string bends. The neck shape and radius, combined with the jumbo frets, allow for an unencumbered range of motion so you can play at the lightning-fast speeds DeLonge is known for.
Premium Appointments and Styling
As an artist signature model, the Starcaster incorporates many of the stylish appointments that DeLonge favors. This includes DeLonge’s artwork featured on the back of the headstock as well as a custom neck plate. Fender Deluxe locking tuners provide rock-solid tuning stability, while an adjustable bridge offers superior intonation and setup adjustment.
