The return of the Tom DeLonge Fender Stratocaster
Fender has released the highly anticipated return of the signature limited-edition Tom DeLonge Stratocaster guitar, just as blink-182 hit the road for their reunion tour leg in Europe and gears up for their album release.
DeLonge is all about writing catchy, relatable hooks that inspire his fans. “I try to write music that is accessible and easy to play and enjoy so that people can come along for the ride. This simplicity really inspired this new signature Stratocaster,” DeLonge says.

This is the first Fender release from the blink-182 guitarist and singer since his original model that ran from 1999-2004. The return of the Stratocaster celebrates DeLonge’s career and his immense impact on pop-punk music.
The custom crafting with DeLonge's original artwork comes in four punchy colorways: Surf Green, Daphne Blue, Graffiti Yellow and Black. The guitar’s no-nonsense spec includes a single Seymour Duncan Invader humbucker, hardtail bridge, and oversized ’70s Strat headstock, ideal for unleashing chunky power chords and crunchy riffs.
If you're looking for a piece of pop-punk history, the Tom DeLonge Strat's meticulous craftsmanship pays homage to the singer's impact on alt-rock music.
